Do Your Faults Seal?
Well-developed workflows reduce the uncertainty in the precise behavior of hydrocarbon flow across faults.

The flow resistance of faults can make or break an exploration play or undermine the economics in a developing field where the decision whether to drill one or two wells depends on communication across fault-bound compartments. Well-developed workflows reduce the uncertainty in the precise behavior of hydrocarbon flow across faults and improve risk assessment for making more economically sound decisions. About the presenter Russell Davies, PhD, Structural Geology Technology Consulting Manager—Davies has more than 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry working on structural geology and trap and seal analysis with a focus on the flow characterization of faults and fractures.
