00:00 Okay well let's um well go Um so this is the advanced structural

00:07 class and this afternoon we'll do an and two things on basic stress and

00:15 . It will be a mix of talking and um some discussion points and

00:20 exercises for you to do online and take frequent breaks throughout the course of

00:26 whole thing and free feel free to questions at any point that that's

00:39 Okay, so this first slide is me. Um I got my bachelor's

00:44 from Yale in 1977 And my master's Arizona in 1983. And my PhDd

00:52 from Arizona in 1987 in structural geology tectonics. Then I spent a little

00:58 30 years with shell international exploration and working all these different bases.

01:05 Permian basin, latin, America Bolivia Argentina, unconventional exploration in the US

01:16 then looking at reservoir compartmentalization and deep reservoirs. And then for a few

01:21 I was manager of two different Classic geology research and development group in

01:26 structural geology research and development group. throughout that whole time those shelves,

01:33 technical expert in structural geology and taught number of courses like this in structural

01:45 . Okay, so these are some the places that I've been Alaska Egypt

01:51 Netherlands Malaysia brunei, Nigeria Colombia. was this was a wonderful, wonderful

01:59 to be working for the oil This was prior to the advent of

02:06 meetings and videoconferences. So to work these different people in different places,

02:12 different problems. You had to travel over the world, which was just

02:17 . And then, um, why places, all these places, all

02:22 places and more depend on oil and revenues to support their social structure and

02:29 and gas has gotten a very bad . It's socially unacceptable in the last

02:36 the last decade or so. But of these, all of these countries

02:40 many more depend on the income from and gas to support their social structure

02:46 the Netherlands for example, which is of the most places outspoken against oil

02:51 gas exploration. 30% of the government comes from oil and gas production.

02:59 in, in in all these other and more as well. It's,

03:05 very important to society too producing oil gas and get the revenues from the

03:11 and gas in Alaska. Until Every citizen in Alaska. I used

03:17 get a check for $700 a year the state from the oil and gas

03:22 from Prudhoe Bay. And I put in to show that oil and gas

03:30 going to continue To be the the world's main source of energy for

03:35 next 30 years at least. Mm . And I have here a projection

03:42 Different energy consumption as a function of through 2050. And you see a

03:48 here for the collared event but then growth and petroleum and other liquids,

03:55 gas renewables pick up tremendously but they pale next to oil and gas for

04:04 , energy production and, and, the reason for this is the things

04:09 I mentioned, society needs these things maintain our standard of living.

04:16 Mm hmm. If you look at of the third world places like India

04:22 100,000 people a year die from indoor from stoves, burning wood dung,

04:28 like that. And so oil and are necessary to replace these dirtier sources

04:35 energy and and get people on some this extreme poverty that they continue to

04:40 in. So you make the point that by supplying the world's oil and

04:45 , you're really helping support these helping increase these people's standard of

04:51 So, although it's socially unacceptable right , oil and gas production is

04:57 very important for the whole world. hmm. And put in this slide

05:04 show to emphasize that even TVs require oil and significant oil and gas.

05:12 , they need literally tons of oil gas to supply all the plastics and

05:18 that go into the s, not mention the hydrocarbons that are required to

05:24 the energy to charge the TVs in first place a huge amount of natural

05:29 , declining amounts of coal hopefully, natural gas and oil very, very

05:35 to supply the energy and the plastics go into all our electric vehicles.

05:41 vehicles are a good thing, but not going to eliminate the need for

05:45 and gas. But here's the course . It's divided up into nine

05:55 The 1st 5 are sort of basic geology things. And they are they

06:03 important both for oil and gas exploration for carbon sequestration, mm hmm.

06:09 of these basic principles for a stress strain geometry on the mechanics. Top

06:17 false heels. These things are equally for oil and gas and for retaining

06:24 two when we go to CO two and then these next four topics salt

06:32 , full thrust belts, basement Oculus, strikes of death types.

06:37 are on the structural styles of each of these types of provinces. And

06:43 we'll see is that they're all very for each one of these. And

06:48 important to understand the differences when we're our structural interpretations. Thanks and put

06:58 this line to emphasize that these topics important for carbon capture and sequestration as

07:05 as oil and gas exploration and What any place where we're trying to

07:11 C. 02 for storage or for oil recovery. The capacity for co

07:18 is going to be controlled by the the topsail capillary entry pressure and the

07:24 mechanical capacity. Justice for oil and , lateral steel capacity is going to

07:32 controlled largely by faults, seals, , lateral steel capacity, vertical sealed

07:39 and fault reactivation potential. So all things that we're going to talk about

07:44 false, apply equally to oil and and see co two sequestration. The

07:51 difference is the type of fluid and talk about the type of fluid and

07:54 inter facial tension, But the basics the same for oil and gas and

08:00 two sequestration. Okay, I wanted take a minute to have you each

08:07 mute yourselves and just tell us um your current situation is and why you're

08:13 the course and Angela, you're on top of the screen so maybe you

08:17 um you know, we could start you. I'm um I currently work

08:25 a geoscience analyst for a natural gas . Um so I finished my bachelor's

08:33 2020 and I'm in this course to my masters to become a likely developmental

08:42 . Okay Dennis can you go Yes sir. So my name is

08:50 Dennis Mahon. International student from I go to my undergrad in geology

08:55 minors minors in geophysics and mathematics At University of Houston and I graduated in

09:02 . Right now. I'm working on masters in geophysics and using this.

09:07 trying to get my masters in geophysics well as get my PhD in geophysics

09:11 well. So I'm hoping this class going to home improve my knowledge and

09:19 aspects and kind of region between structural and geophysical properties. And how do

09:27 need to assessment, interpretation an invasion geo phoenix as well. Thank

09:33 Okay, good. Um Mcdonald, you want to go next?

09:38 Hello everyone. I'm Meghna. I'm international student from India. I've done

09:44 Internet in petroleum engineering back in India this is my second minister over in

09:49 geology geology program. And I would to acquire the degree in petroleum geology

09:55 probably do pursue mine for the job in the sector. Okay, thank

10:04 . Well, thank you. Thank all. Mm hmm. Okay.

10:13 here's the course schedule of the course what we're going to go through.

10:18 today we'll go through the first two on basic principles and structural QA QC

10:25 . And then tomorrow it will also a virtual session and we'll talk about

10:30 mechanics. We'll take a break for and then go into top seal

10:36 We will have a midterm review and final exam at the end of the

10:44 . By the time of the we will have covered about 40% of

10:48 class. So the midterm will be 40% of the grade And the final

10:52 will be worth the remaining 60% of grade. Okay, basic concepts to

11:02 two most important basic concepts or definitions of stress and strain. So we'll

11:08 about those and then we'll talk about false are organized in structural styles that

11:15 related to the stress and the strain there. Mhm. The fault geometry

11:25 the subsidizing structure and the stress orientation follow. They all follow certain geometric

11:33 geologic principles. So they're not just organized. And then we'll talk about

11:40 nomenclature around different fault components, football hanging roll core damage zones. And

11:48 the actual geometric rules that defaults follow the fall, it's going to be

11:53 as ellipses in shape. The displacement typically a maximum in the middle of

11:59 ellipse. They're the length to throw . Our systematic, they vary from

12:07 10 to 100 With a length throw of about 50 is a good

12:12 So these already constrained what kind of hmm. Especially in seismic interpretation alone

12:20 faults can be and how much displacement can have on the faults, particularly

12:25 uh, our seismic volumes. And we'll talk about how false are segment

12:33 horizontally and vertically, both laterally and and down. And this is important

12:39 linking up the fault during our size interpretation in particular. And for understanding

12:46 Kinnah Matic, the displacements along the . And then the last thing we'll

12:51 about today are trapped closure elements and factors. We'll talk about the definitions

12:58 don't disclose from deep still point topsail and false ego capacity. So these

13:04 all the things that will go through . Mhm. The first thing here

13:12 stress that stress is defined as force unit area and it's the units are

13:19 per square inch C. Or bars pascal's. And this is the conversion

13:24 to go back and forth between. see what we call oilfield units and

13:29 or pascal's metro units. And then stresses. We have three principal stresses

13:38 one which is the maximum stress Segment which is the intermediate stress In Sigma

13:44 which is the minimum stress. And we also have sigma V. Which

13:52 the vertical stress signaled H the maximum stress and sigma small age, the

13:59 compressive stress. And depending on which of these, which one of these

14:05 is sigma. One determines whether we normal faults or reverse falls or strikes

14:13 . And I've shown here a cube get the ideas across a sigma V

14:18 typically a rogue easy, rogue So this is the just the weight

14:23 the overburden, the weight of the . Com that's our typical vertical

14:29 And then we have the maximum horizontal which may be more or less than

14:34 V. When this is greater than V. Then we get thrust faults

14:40 reverse falls. Oh and then we the minimum horizontal stress. The signal

14:47 age which also maybe creator or less sigma V. And when it's less

14:53 significant is when we get normal false strain strain is defined as the change

15:06 length in response to the applied It's defined as the the change in

15:13 divided by the initial length or final minus initial length divided by the initial

15:20 . So LF myself zero divided by zero. And we'll use this to

15:26 strains various exercises through the rest of course. And just like the stress

15:34 strain is divided into E one 23. E one being the maximum

15:42 or extension he to being the intermediate extension, Any three being the minimum

15:48 extension. And these are represented in of change in shape from an initial

15:57 into what's called a strain of limps The one is the maximum dimension and

16:03 three is the minimum dementia. And he here for example to form trilobite

16:09 basically been squashed. Mhm. And a strain is important because strain is

16:15 that we can measure in the And stress is something that we can

16:21 present day. But we can't measure geologic time scale. So we can

16:26 tell what stresses are going to apply Iraq's but we can always tell what

16:32 have resulted what changes in shape have from the stress is applied to the

16:42 . Okay, so stress orientations determine basic fault shape. The basic fault

16:50 And faults or shear fractures typically form about 30°. to signal one the maximum

16:57 and um if signal one is vertical signal one is the vertical stress And

17:04 get a 60° nor rainfall normal fault by this guy around. So signal

17:11 equal signal line. Signal each man Sigma three. And we get normal

17:17 with football here and the hanging wall in the program. If we flip

17:24 one and signal three, so that V. Is the minimum horizontal stress

17:30 signal aah max is the maximum horizontal . This is where we get reverse

17:37 or mhm or your reverse bonds of faults Dipping at 30°. So 30° orientation

17:46 signal one here, the normal falls about 60 degrees also 30 degrees to

17:53 one. But because Signal One is to get a 60 degree dip Whereas

17:57 , when signal one is horizontal, got a 30° dip. And then

18:03 we get a strike slip faults when one Signaled H. Max. Even

18:11 one. Sigma three is the minimum here. And the intermediate stress sigma

18:20 is sigma two. And the strike falls again form in about 30 degrees

18:26 signal one, But now they dip rather than 30 or 60°. They still

18:35 an angle with 30° with signal But they did vertically because their strikes

18:40 falls okay. And then with with normal faults, we typically get these

18:50 and grubbing structures where the the the uplifted blocks, the province are

18:55 down list down dropped block and the is the uplifted side. In the

19:03 wall in both cases is the down side. But here's some block diagrams

19:12 the orientations of the stresses in the . Well, again, with normal

19:18 we have the 60 degree dibs one vertical sigma, three horizontal sigma

19:25 intermediate parallel to the strike of the . When we flip signal one and

19:31 three, we get thrust faults, faults From 30 degree reduced horizontal

19:38 Sigma three is vertical and Sigma one horizontal. With strike slip fault We

19:46 again so that the stresses, both one and sigma through your horizontal.

19:52 And we get these strike slip faults 90° dips and um oriented about 30

19:59 to sigma one. And we get horizontal shortening in horizontal extension in the

20:07 orientations relative the faults with structures that given shortening in this direction and extension

20:14 this direction of Carolina stigma three. , so these fault types and strains

20:29 tectonic environments With normal faults, we the 60° tips. We get horizontal

20:36 and we get these mid ocean ridges rift margins and continental passive margins.

20:42 like these formal falls, dominate all all the active structures in Nigeria for

20:51 . Okay, Reversers faults with the dips horizontal shortening. The football here

20:59 the hangar, on the up thrown represents horizontal contraction. And we get

21:06 at convergent margins, Transgressive margins thrust and deepwater and ultra deepwater full thrust

21:13 . So I'm like all the toad in deepwater Nigeria. Okay, Strike

21:19 faults shown here 90° Tibbs displacement parallel the fault. We had both horizontal

21:27 horizontal uh contraction and extension and they're in this oblique angle to the actual

21:37 slip displacement. And then we get at strike slip margins and transforms also

21:44 SAn Andreas fault system, for is probably the most widely known,

21:48 widely recognized. Now there's a third of fault that we didn't recognize until

21:57 advent of three D. Seismic data we could see seismic time slices.

22:03 what we're looking at here is a time slides but it's from offshore

22:09 Deepwater Norway and all these things that looking at are false. And you

22:16 there they look like they look like cracks. Um And they're called they're

22:21 political falls and they really are seismic mud cracks. This is an example

22:33 those faults in cross section seismic section 50 milliseconds here for time. And

22:41 see the faults here. All these are these political faults in plan view

22:47 you see they die out upwards and die out downwards and then in these

22:53 layers you get other sets of of out faults. We'll talk about this

22:58 fractures but them we're seeing an example mechanical strategic fee here where we have

23:05 set of political faults in these layers another set in these layers and then

23:11 in these in these deeper layers. the way this form is by a

23:22 called scenery sis. And the idea that the the vertical vertical load causes

23:32 compassion and de watering and the de leads to contraction in the horizontal directions

23:40 well as the vertical directions. So squashed the things vertically. But they

23:46 contract in the horizontal direction as And we get all these little normal

23:53 That link up in polygonal patterns in days. What? And these are

24:00 are typically associated with fluid escape chimneys sand. Inject types and things like

24:06 . Mm hmm. For example, you go back to this this

24:11 we're looking at this time slice of falls, we have all these political

24:16 . And then we have a mud here in the middle of Mhm.

24:21 volcano of fluid expulsion feature here in middle of all these pulling in faults

24:27 from the compassion and the fluid Mm hmm. So the stress orientations

24:38 political falls as I've mentioned, Signal is sigma v. Signal one is

24:45 and then sigma two and sigma three about they're both in the horizontal plane

24:51 they're about the same magnitude which is gives us this polygonal pattern. The

24:58 contract. The rocks contract, but the horizontal direction equally in this direction

25:06 in this direction generating this. Pulling on mud, mud, crack black

25:17 . Okay, and as I these were never recognized until we got

25:23 sizing crime slices and now they're recognized basins pretty much all over the

25:30 along the east coast of the gulf Mexico, up in the truck.

25:35 see here down off Argentina and brazil the west coast of Africa, the

25:43 coast of Africa, mm hmm Up in the north sea, up here

25:48 the north seas where they were first and then in the Okanagan basin of

25:54 Australia here in other basins around Australia New Zealand. We we think that

26:02 requires a particular type of clay to these political falls and that's probably why

26:09 , why they occur in these particular of bases. Yeah. Now,

26:18 for oil and gas production, one the political falls to actually help oil

26:24 gas production. I'm showing here a a structured contour map of the Ormen

26:35 gas field offshore in Norway. And all these lines, these light train

26:40 represent political falls and it looks like reservoir should be very highly compartmentalized and

26:47 it would require it uh a well for each one of these compartments

26:53 produce the whole thing. But in , because these following the fall to

26:59 low throw what they do is they communication. So I have a cartoon

27:04 section here with the fault and different beds here on the down thrown side

27:11 here on the out thrown side in political false result in juxtaposition of all

27:17 rust war beds and so during all these restaurant vets are in communication

27:23 each other across these faults and the actually enhanced communication rather than detract from

27:38 . Okay, basic fault components. fault terminology. Well, the two

27:43 important things are the football and the the football is shown here, the

27:49 blog for these normal falls. The wall shown here where the foot wall

27:56 the fault is you get a It's called geometrically, it's a line

28:01 we call it the football cut Similarly on the hanging wall without hanging

28:06 bed intersects the fault. We get line of intersection that represents the pain

28:11 cut off in these. The football off from the hanging wall cut off

28:16 typically what we represented in our particularly in our size maps made from

28:21 data. This would be the default that you see on your on your

28:27 comes from apps. Mm hmm. fault throw is the vertical component of

28:37 along the fall. So it's a different than the true displacement parallel to

28:42 fall. The fault throw is just vertical component without displacement. Hmm.

28:55 right. Now, in sort of D. Here we have additional fault

29:00 . So I'm showing one horizon another idea horizon here in a

29:09 a structured contra mat at the bottom the diagram here. So you can

29:13 the default here in here On off the horizon similarly offsetting this deeper horizon

29:23 so that the pink things are my whether offset or where the fault

29:28 This stippled pattern is the fault and actual displacement is the displacement from the

29:37 cut off to the hanging wall cut parallel to the fall. Mm

29:43 And in Matthew that represents my fault down here and the width of that

29:51 gap represents what's called the heave on amount of you. Now the faults

29:58 extend forever. So in in vertical , the faults eventually die out.

30:05 that edge of the fault is what's the tip line. That's the tip

30:09 the fault. And this is a session where all this information is projected

30:15 the vertical session. You see the line here. Mm hmm. The

30:22 cut off here and the hanging wall off here And that displacement between the

30:27 represents the Throat. Okay, now we're looking at a structure concert

30:44 It's colored by elevation contours represent the contours and they're in, I don't

30:54 there are 50 ft 50 ft increments in this, this black gap in

31:01 view is the default gap where that tips out is the fault tip line

31:08 plan is from here. This is football cut off here in the up

31:13 side. The hanging roll cut off on the down thrown side. And

31:18 any point along this fault, we get throw approximately displacement from the difference

31:25 contours across here. So here I've a M. A 600-foot contour on

31:32 up front side, The 425 ft on the downtown side. So that

31:38 tells me that the throw is about ft at that point on the

31:44 And as I go in different as I go this way, That

31:48 increases as I go towards the fault that eventually decreases to zero mm

31:55 And this, this ability to get fault throw and sense of displacement from

32:02 contours that hit the fault. It's important principle that we use through a

32:08 of QA QC exercises now along the . We also have what are called

32:18 organs. And the idea is that faults are are zones and not just

32:26 plain and discontinuities, like like we its seismic. So what we see

32:30 seismic is really an oversimplification of what looks like. All right. So

32:36 , I've got a three dimensional but the fault is kind of a

32:40 shaped here. The main slip zone here. This is what's called the

32:47 of the fault. This is where get a fault gouge and the main

32:52 service. And then adjacent to we have an inner damaged on where

32:57 have lots of interconnected little faults and and then an outer damage zone here

33:05 we go, okay, must we a much less intense zone of small

33:12 and fractures? Yeah, these are these faults and fractures are important for

33:22 steel capacity. And when we start about cross fault, flow and flow

33:27 and around these faults. Okay, here's a cross section showing these.

33:37 definitions are cartoons again. So, have my football of thrown fault block

33:43 . Down thrown angle blocks here. main fault core slip surface here,

33:50 in the middle and then adjacent to , we have a damage zone with

33:57 of small faults and fractures. And we go away from the main

34:02 the intensity of these small faults and dies out. It also varies up

34:08 down the fall. So here, example, we have a layer with

34:13 fairly high intensity. Damn it Whereas in these other layers we have

34:18 or no damage, no development at . So, here's an example from

34:31 . Here's the main fault going through . This is my main slip plane

34:37 fault core. You can see this is offset down, thrown here on

34:43 side. And up here in this brittle layer, you see a lot

34:49 faults and small faults and fractures Whereas in here, where you have

34:53 more ductile layer, we don't see small faults and fractures are very,

35:00 much less develop faults and fractures. right, we're going to talk about

35:12 geometric rules that false followed or that can be approximated as ellipses with the

35:17 greater than the height. The thrower is maximum in the middle. The

35:23 throw ratio varies from 10 to 100 Typically it's about 1550 is a group

35:31 approximation of the length relationship, mm . And since sedimentary and slice landfalls

35:37 different lengths, throw ratios, I'm on the amount of trigger demanding on

35:42 amount of growth during the, during faulting. Okay, so I mentioned

35:52 fault displacement varies that the faults are shape. We see that here in

35:59 mm hmm. With the fault pain will cut off here down thrown

36:06 cut off here increasing displacement from left right Our Fault Tip. zero displacement

36:14 displacement increasing to the right, mm . And then in this case with

36:19 creation showing the pure dip slip nature fall. So this is a throw

36:33 for a single fault. So, looking at a vertical plane where we've

36:38 the hanging on the floor onto the . So it's a single fault.

36:43 fault is represented by this sort of color here. This is the football

36:49 off here. This is the hanging comin off here sort of sing clonal

36:56 And the throat decreases from zero at tip To a maximum somewhere towards the

37:03 of the fault and then decreasing again zero. It's a tip over

37:08 Mm hmm. So here's a throw for such a fault where we can

37:25 at multiple horizon offsets to get these of throw profiles for multiple horizons.

37:35 that gives us these throw contours where have the tip line here with zero

37:43 And then increasing displacement 10 2030 But as we get towards the,

37:50 the center of the fault. Mm . And so the fault of role

37:55 elliptical in shape and the throat decreases laterally from the center towards the

38:02 Aaron vertically from the center towards the and towards the base. And here's

38:15 here's a seismic example. Here's a cross section. You see the phones

38:21 and by looking at the offset of horizons here, we can create this

38:26 contour diagram that shows the throw as highest here in the middle of the

38:32 , Decreasing to zero at the tip , both vertically and horizontally as we

38:39 along the strike in the fall. In the the length to throw

38:46 But it varies from 10 to 100 typically 50 is a good approximation.

38:54 If your throw is about 50 you expect your fault to be about

38:59 kilometers or 2500 m long. So is an important constraint we can use

39:05 our fault interpretations, particularly in seismic . Alright now this, this is

39:16 plots showing those relationships. So here have for like and here I have

39:23 maximum displacement that displaced at the center the fault zone. And each one

39:28 these lines represents a ratio of one Like throw one length to throw of

39:38 , Like to throw off 100 lengths throw over 1000. So you can

39:42 there's a lot of scatter in But this red line of length to

39:47 50 is a pretty good average of the data that we get in here

39:53 these different colors represent different types of . And you see they all form

40:00 pretty much the same rules. Mm . So there's The rule of thumb

40:06 9th 50 times the displacement is applicable normal faults, reverse faults of strikes

40:12 false equally. Mhm. And so this diagram, If you know your

40:21 is about 50 m at one You can extrapolate that over to the

40:26 dimension line and see that you what expect your fault lengths to be.

40:32 the fault length of 50 m. expect the fault length to be about

40:36 times that about 2500 m. so here's here's sort of a discussion

40:46 here. Um we're looking at a . Conn dramatic from seismic data in

40:52 incline trending through here and then a of small falls crossing that incline at

41:03 point along these faults. The displacement Is less than about 50 m.

41:10 right at our seismic reservation. And interpreted here is a 10 kilometer long

41:17 with a 15 m displacement based on we just talked about. Is that

41:27 ? Mm hmm. So what I you to do is take it Take

41:35 50 m dimension. Go back to previous lives and see what kind of

41:43 displacement I would expect on there. anybody is welcome to speak up.

42:11 use that that 1-5 ratio that we about is the slip the same as

42:49 displacement. Yes, the slip is same as the displacement. So it

43:26 be closer to the 100 D. . It would be, you

43:35 it would be much closer to 100 . Line. All right. So

43:48 we had 10 kilometers with 50 m , it would be, yeah,

44:05 would be close to this Between the and the 110 delight. I'm

44:13 No, no. I meant that wrong way. It would be

44:16 It would be right around the 100 deadline. So it would be statistically

44:22 unlikely so more likely. What we're at here is um, A smaller

44:44 of false where we have 50 m which is something that we can

44:51 Reliably in the seismic profiles and with with this structure contour map These red

45:03 represent intersections of the fault ticks with horizon and making it one fault implies

45:12 10 km long, which is statistically . What's more likely is that you

45:19 a series of small faults here that closer to closer to 2500 m in

45:26 . So probably one fault here with gap here, Another fault here with

45:32 throw about 50 m and a gap over here where the fault picks were

45:37 . So when we're interpreting the seismic , you see a series of thoughts

45:43 this, it's important to say look the time slices and identify what the

45:50 length of the fault is and where have a series of segments of individual

45:56 , this being one, this being and so on. Yeah, similarly

46:01 here, if we look at this fault, you probably have one small

46:08 there, another small fault there and the third fault there where it changes

46:13 and by looking at a seismic time , you can you can distinguish this

46:21 more easily. Really more questions or on that before we move on.

46:49 , that's what we just talked Okay, why don't we? Um

46:56 been going for about Just under an . We could go about 50

47:00 So why don't we take a five break here. Mhm. Going to

47:04 around, get them and get a , Wake up, get the blood

47:09 again and then we'll come back in minutes. Yeah. So the point

47:17 want to talk about now is that . Core thickness is related to the

47:22 . Just like the displacements will related the throat. The thickness is related

47:27 the throne. And what's shown on cross plot are fault displacement from the

47:34 axis, fault thickness for the Y . And you see this trend Through

47:41 where the green line is one 1 1000. Red is 1 to 100

47:48 blue is 1 - 10. And 1 to 1 to 100 is a

47:54 rule of thumb for the relation between thickness and the displacement. So here

48:00 a fault and outcrop and with the zone shown here in blue and that's

48:07 we mean by the false um, the width of this. This horizontal

48:14 a, here's another example of that And you see the fault zone core

48:19 , through here with his white ground counter clay site material represented the highest

48:26 and this This thickness is a function the throw of the entire fall and

48:32 false with large throws are wider or than false with small throws john In

48:38 good rule of thumb is that thickness is 1 100th of the fault

48:44 And it's this is especially important for at cross fault flowing reservoir models looking

48:51 resort compartmentalization and things like that on production side for those production problems,

48:57 really need to know that with of low permeability zone. With of

49:03 All right. With that thought Mhm. Okay. So here we

49:11 in on that plot with fault displacement , fault core thickness here and

49:19 This red line representing 1 to 100 a good average of the like throw

49:27 ratio. Okay, okay. So this can come. This becomes important

49:35 wrestling models but also can become important relating to things you see in core

49:40 the signs we get it. So , I've got an example of the

49:45 , but with a fault in it , you see the other side of

49:48 fault here. The gods own for , there's Fault is about a half

49:54 thick. So five .005 m Would you consider this a seismically resolvable

50:27 ? No, sir. No. , that's right. Exactly right.

50:31 , so if it's, If it's m thick on this cross plot,

50:37 would be down here On 30.005. you would expect that fall to have

50:43 displacement, you know, less than meter between mm hmm The 10th and

50:52 10 m at most. And so is not something you would see in

50:56 seismic data unless you have very high seismic data. Okay, yeah.

51:08 Here we have the cross blood, m Hitting 1 200 line. We

51:15 the displacement to be about 0.5 And so not something that we would

51:21 seismically unless you had exceptionally high resolution data. Mm hmm. Okay.

51:31 next thing I want to talk about that false? Are segmented both horizontally

51:36 vertically. And remember that we talked the fall tap of the tip line

51:40 surrounds the outer edge of the And that that defines how we get

51:48 different fault segments and how they, they organize themselves. Okay. And

51:59 , this is very important mostly for very important for sizing interpretation that many

52:04 on a single plane, many false , discontinued consumer segmented. And so

52:11 is a cross plot of distance along fault versus displacement For 1,

52:18 3, 4 different faults. When you see one this fault has

52:24 displacement profile like this. This fall a displacement profile shown like the green

52:30 here and the blue fault here. displacement shone like this. So these

52:38 visual falls don't really link up But in fact if we saw these

52:43 seismic data, we would interpret them 11 fault with the maximum displacement somewhere

52:49 it here. Okay. And these , these segments give rise to what

53:01 call relay ramps. So here's a an outcrop scale example with one fault

53:08 here. A second fault segment They overlap here with unfolded portion

53:17 It's called a relay ramp. this is another example if you've ever

53:24 out too long mobile and hiked out delicate arch. The trail too delicate

53:29 goes up this relay ramp. So have one fault Here with about 10

53:35 displacement. Another fault here we're sort 10 or 20 m displacement tip line

53:42 and tip line here and then this ran in between the two different false

53:55 . And so in this block I'm showing the definition of a relay

54:00 Sort of one Fault here, hanging cut off football cut off tip line

54:09 , you know involved in segment in . And then another false statement here

54:14 the hang or cut off the football off tip line here and the sudden

54:20 relay ran in between. And this well, a ram geometrically serves the

54:28 the displacement between these two fault hence the name relay ramp.

54:39 Okay, so here's, here's an from Ethiopia from the Ethiopian rift

54:44 a whole series of normal faults. normal fault here. Another phones here

54:51 a really rampant between one that's slightly in this case and again, so

55:05 see one fault here, another false . The tip here, the tip

55:14 , the relay ramp in between the fault in the middle of really ramp

55:20 here, we have a jog in fall. Well maybe you can see

55:24 better in this one where the where segments have actually grown together, creating

55:31 little job in the fall. So this case the relay ramp has been

55:36 through so that these two segments join and that gets us to the idea

55:46 an intact relays on versus a breached zone. So we have two schematic

55:53 here on the upper one here we hanging on the football in a relay

56:00 between it is unfaltering. So the all cut off the football kind of

56:07 there, no, the tip the other hanging wall cut off the

56:11 cut off with this unfolded relay ramp between with increasing displacement. Eventually this

56:19 faulted through and give us a breached . Oh, so now I have

56:25 continuous hanging while one continuous hanging, continuous football and one segment at football

56:34 off going along here here and here this relay ramp is now why it's

56:40 faulted through or breach so that we a breached relay song. And this

56:47 becomes important for for fluid flow and trapping. In a case like

56:55 this relay Rampal served as a leaked running down from accumulation on this side

57:02 this side. Whereas here you can a continuous accumulation since that fault has

57:09 off communication between the hanging wall and football and so here's another, here's

57:20 photo from the relay ramp in arches Park on the way up to delicate

57:26 , you see fault Eddie here with wall cut off the football cut off

57:31 applying there, thought I'd be here the hanging wall cut off, we'll

57:36 it off and then an intact relay in between. That's going to allow

57:43 fluid on this down front side, it be here or here to spill

57:47 up along this freeway ramp and this an example from the same area of

57:58 breached relay ramp where we have fault going here fault be extending here And

58:06 a relay ramp extending between the But in this case the fault cuts

58:11 it and breaches the relay around and off communication between these these two pain

58:20 and football and in the block diagram , um I have a block diagram

58:27 a relay that's preached that wanna you also have realized that are breached at

58:32 ends, both on the down thrown in the throne side in both

58:38 separating the ultimate football from the ultimate role. Okay, alright, this

58:49 to the idea of conservation of throw I'm showing here too, two different

58:58 to faults, segments um with a really ramping between here. But the

59:05 here is that the throw at this , see equals the sum of the

59:10 on a and the throne on being and again, in seismic interpretation,

59:16 becomes important for correlating europe throwing down horizons firms, you have to pick

59:23 horizon where these, The two small equal equal to Big Throat. Here's

59:35 block diagrams illustrating that. So in , this first one, I have

59:40 blockade here. If I go down ft of throw heat here, That's

59:50 . I'm sorry. That's 200 ft throat, go down 200 ft of

59:54 here. I come over here. have that 200 ft of throat is

59:59 into 100 ft and 100 ft So that total displacements here equal the

60:06 displacement on the big fault here. . In Matthew I have to synthetic

60:14 here with 150 m displacement here, m displace right here In 200 m

60:21 here. So if I were to around that side Down 150 m

60:27 150 m, then up 200 m get back to where I started and

60:32 the idea that the throne is conserved this set of fault intersections. Now

60:38 shows the synthetic falls for an genetic , although it's a little different.

60:45 , Here I've got 150 m through here. I got 50 m thrown

60:50 And that equals 200. We just . Were these two faults merged.

60:56 if I were to walk around I would go Down 150 m

61:00 150 m and up 200 m get to where I started along this

61:12 Okay, so here's some other examples that with synthetic faults. 300 ft

61:18 , 300 ft down equals 600 ft . Where these two faults merged for

61:25 falls Go down 600 ft down, ft and up 1000 ft. So

61:35 600 ft down plus 400 ft down this 1000 ft down for antibiotic

61:43 creating a horse here. This created grab in. We've got a

61:48 Mm hmm. So here, we've 600 ft of throat here.

61:55 Equal to 300 ft of Throat here 300 ft of throat here. So

62:00 I were to walk around this, would go down 600 ft. Come

62:04 here. Go up 300 ft come here and go up another 300 ft

62:08 get back to where I started across from scaling of relay ramp dimensions.

62:21 , All right. You see what plotted here is separation versus transfer

62:31 So in this Matthew, this is separation. This is what's product here

62:37 transfer throne, which is the mm . Change in displacement between these two

62:45 and either one of the tip And the idea is that this this

62:55 with versus length of the relay ramps be more or less proportional and it

63:02 crudely is um, but there's no between, there's no consistency on whether

63:11 relays are intent or preach in this plot intact ramps are shown here with

63:19 hollow symbols, breach tramps are shown where the filled in symbols. Um

63:26 they all they all follow basically the trend between separation and throw across

63:32 Um So we can't we can't use with length dimensions to constrained whether these

63:42 ramps are breached or not. And , so vertical segmentation, we've been

63:54 about horizontal segmentation. We also see segmentation particularly in seismic data. So

64:03 I have vertical size and profile un and interpreted here. And you see

64:11 you look closely that the displacement along segment actually dies out at this

64:17 And then it's relayed or picked up another fault going down through here.

64:23 when we're interpreting seismic data we typically blast through this with a single fault

64:29 of single false interpretation when in fact a it's not actually to false when

64:36 separated with tip line here and tip here, an area of no throw

64:41 between and again. And for looking trying to determine whether this is a

64:47 fault zone or not. That vertical point is going to form a link

64:53 These two faults across these two falls as the false grow these segments become

65:02 in this. This cartoon shows the here, you start out with initially

65:09 falls and as they grow, the line expands in the intersect so eventually

65:17 four faults can become one large fault this would throw minima sort of in

65:23 middle of the fault. Similarly here these little falls, if you start

65:31 with three segmented falls as they these faults are going to link.

65:37 . Go away. Where'd that come ? Mhm. You end up with

65:42 large fault, the throne minimum in upper and lower thirds of the false

65:55 . Alright, so this this is sandbox model showing how these, how

66:00 faults grow and evolve. So we three, we have one model at

66:06 different stages of extension With extension increasing stage 1 to Stage 2 to Stage

66:13 . And in the first minimal extension see little bits of the fall little

66:20 segment here, a little false segment . Little fault segments here here and

66:26 as these as the extension increases, segments linked up so that these three

66:32 become, there's actually one through going there. And as they continue to

66:41 the tips extend further this way and this way and start to link up

66:47 fault with this fault. So this is this fault on stage three and

66:53 about to be linked up with this here. Right now we've got a

66:57 relay ramp in between here and this about to become a breach relay ramp

67:01 the extension continues in this fault continues grow and merge with this fall

67:08 we'll see the same thing at this . It's his fault segment grows and

67:13 this segment here. Um, So is this is another view. Oh

67:26 . The increasing fault coalescence with increasing . So here I've got a

67:33 horizontal extension about 2.5% here. I It's increased to three here. I

67:40 three fault segments. Fs one FS NFS three. And now with this

67:47 of a 1/2% strain, these three emerged. FS one merged with FS

67:54 FS 3 all along through here. this shows her the throw profiles for

68:10 series of coldness phones that we just about. Here's with the 3% strain

68:16 the falls have just linked up. I have always initially one phone.

68:20 folds. Three folds four folds, folds across here that have linked up

68:26 a minimum amount of throw at each of these intersections. His extension

68:32 These faults grow. They extend laterally both dimensions and the displacement increases,

68:40 hmm. And the throw increases at minimum. But these minimums still stay

68:47 small compared to the rest of the continued extension, the fault grows even

68:56 . The extension increases and the throw in this direction and I still preserve

69:02 thrown minimum Lara, the different points the fault where these faults originally

69:10 So overall the fall through profile is or less elliptical but it's going to

69:18 minor second order variations from where all false originally emerged. What?

69:40 so all those faults segments we're looking , we're just in normal faults.

69:45 see the same thing with thrust And here we're looking at a mhm

69:53 horizon along a series of thrust Deepwater toe thrust in this case And

69:58 see there's one culmination here, the culmination here with a ramp in

70:06 So these are two different segmented thrust . Similarly here We see one an

70:14 here, a ramp here and another a coin here with a small ramp

70:20 between Here on this third trend. see the same thing with one

70:25 one and a calling and one fault ramp here and another. An incline

70:30 to pick off here. Mm And so these these falls are segmented

70:37 horizontally and and vertically. Mm And depending on the step overs,

70:48 , where, where, where this is moving this way. And this

70:53 is when we know where you get zone of extension in between these.

70:57 you may see minor normal faults and in these wheeling ramps in between the

71:04 different sets here where this block is this way and this block is going

71:11 the left. When you got a of contraption in between here and you'll

71:16 minor oblique thrust faults and reverse faults in this area of overlap. All

71:29 . Um, I want to talk different closure definitions. So here I

71:36 a schematic cross section. Mm Up thrown fall trap. There's my

71:43 seal. My my Christopher horizon is here. Mm hmm. And the

71:51 ultimate spill point is here. This obviously is the crest. This is

71:59 ultimate spill point here. Between between the crust here and where the

72:07 bed first. It's the fault. have a closure that's just dependent on

72:12 . That's just dependent on dip dependent . So, this is my this

72:17 my least risky closure. Below this , I can still trapped hydrocarbons,

72:25 hmm. But now I'm dependent on hell along here. So this now

72:30 my fault dependent closure. The total dependent closure goes all the way down

72:38 to the elevation of my ultimate spill . If I fill this with

72:45 the oil water contact or gas water may not come down this far.

72:50 made for me will want to contact free water level somewhere here.

72:56 in that case, my total column goes from the crest to this free

73:03 contact. It's under Phil and relative the total dip point when total closure

73:09 from the crest to the dip skill , but my column height only goes

73:15 the crest to that gas water So in some cases the total column

73:21 maybe less than the total closure. , so this is what the same

73:30 looks like in Matthew. There's my my crest, you're my structure contours

73:37 100 m contour interval fault cut off . Up, thrown side here,

73:43 , thrown side here. Mhm. dip closure extends from the crest down

73:50 the first contour that hits the So in this case it would go

73:54 crest to 50 down to a Tip of about 300, maybe 3 25

74:02 sphere down to where the first contour is the fault below that, Below

74:07 300 m contour, I'm dependent on ceiling dependent on the fault, impending

74:13 . And that goes from that last contour of 300 m Down to my

74:19 point of 550 m. So my dependent closure goes from there down to

74:25 intermediate contour. They would be extrapolated the 500 and 600 m contour.

74:33 right. And this, this disclosure my lowest risk. My fault dependent

74:39 independent on faults feel. So that the a slightly greater risk. And

74:46 this bill point is the deepest possible contact. Any kind of currents that

74:52 into this. Beyond this point, going to spill out this incline somewhere

74:57 the southwest here. Okay, And so we have different different controls

75:15 the different skill points. So on disclosure here, that's controlled by my

75:25 for top seal failure. And that be either from category entry pressure of

75:30 top seal or from mechanical fracturing of council. Mhm. And for the

75:38 seal, the highest capital management pressure salt followed by shale followed by

75:45 So salt will give me the best capacity shale. Next best insult would

75:51 third right? And this this false capacity will talk about it like this

75:58 going to be dependent on the amount shells. Okay. Alright. So

76:13 have an exercise here that I want I want to walk through. Hi

76:19 I I sent this separately as handouts . Did you did you get those

76:28 download those? Yes. Okay. right. All right. So take

76:37 minute with those. Take a few with those handouts. Um and and

76:42 these 1, 2, 3, questions. Um You can you can

76:48 on the power points if you printed , you can sketch on the hard

76:52 paper or with the power points. can sketch these different things in just

76:59 lines in power point. Yeah. let's take Let's take 10 or 15

77:08 to go through this example and then then we'll go through and talk about

77:13 together on this committee? I have question Yes, go ahead. So

94:34 question is regarding the fault's length displacement talked about recently. So is the

94:42 or the troll. Is it the as the sleep of the fault?

94:49 . Thank you. Okay, let let me have your attention and we'll

99:44 this through together. Okay, so is the total column height? If

100:15 of the faults seal. Okay. nothing seals then you're going to be

100:24 this this dip closure over here on right. Okay. And the deepest

100:30 you can go before you hit the Is 27 60 or a little

100:36 27 70. So that's the that's total column height. If none of

100:43 faults sealed, it will be from crest 27 40 Down to 27 60

100:49 27 70. It's only 20 or m if none of the faults

100:57 Mm hmm. Questions on that 1st . Okay, the next part was

101:24 of a trick question. Mm What is the what is the total

101:29 height? If only fault see So if false see seals would follow

101:34 leaks. You still have the you still have the same answer.

101:43 still only seal down to This dip at 27 60 or 27 70

101:50 So your total calm height if see seals only Is the same 20

101:56 30 m and none of the false . Now, what is the total

102:16 height if only false of B and . C. O. So we're

102:20 to seal along B in a long . Mhm. And that gets us

102:32 to about But 20 800 m This is the this contour 2800

102:42 It's both these faults. If I deeper that spills out here, default

102:49 and escapes out over here. So both B and C. C.

102:55 . I can seal 60 m Or the crest here at 27:40 down to

103:01 28:00 Only about 60 m. what is the total column height?

103:21 false A B and C seals. if everything seals long, a long

103:26 in a long sea. So this all, this is all in false

103:31 closure. Then I can seal all way down to this Sinclair oil spill

103:40 here between about 29 80 and 3000 here. So that gives me a

103:51 column height of 27 40 Down to , 29, 90 It's about 2

104:01 or 250 m. If everything I have a question yes,

104:19 How do you know that? The is the crest. Just by looking

104:25 this map. Oh well 27 40 the highest contour. You could come

104:30 little bit higher than that. You interpolate between 27 40 and the next

104:38 , which would be 27 20. you could be up to like 27

104:44 mm hmm. But you're just, know, it has to be above

104:49 in less than the next time it's because that contour is not there.

104:55 you could be a little higher than but less than 27:30. Less than

105:00 20. So are these subsidy These are subsidence. Yes. Got

105:09 . Yeah. Everything will talk you know the depths are relative to

105:21 level. So temporarily there will be sea level. It will get some

105:28 ones when we talk about rocky mountains we get closure above sea level because

105:32 elevation is so high. Number Anyplace else these deaths will eat below

105:38 level. So the bigger number of deeper. Any other questions on

106:07 Okay, these are these are important that will be several more exercise is

106:14 to this as we go through. it's it's important to understand this is

106:21 as possible in the course. so this is a summary of everything

106:34 we've gone through in this first definitions of stress and strain,

106:39 Other faults are organized in structural styles to the stress orientation of fault.

106:46 , subsidizing structures and political faults and basic fault components or nomenclature. The

106:56 , the hanging wall, the core the damaged bone. Um mm

107:03 Football and hanging wall to keep those to keep you from getting those mixed

107:09 . Um Those originally supposedly those go to cornish miners for if you stood

107:16 a phone, your foot was on football and you would hand your lamp

107:21 your head. On the hanging Mm hmm. So sometimes that that

107:28 help you remember which is the foot in which is the hanging wall

107:34 Follow geometric rules. They can be as ellipses with the maximum displacement in

107:40 middle light. The throw is a average of 10 to 10 to 10

107:48 50. It's a good approximation Length width. Good approximation is 1 -

107:56 . And then falter segmented horizontally and and with increasing displacement to link up

108:02 in the horizontal direction, in the direction. And sometimes in interpreting seismic

108:09 . And you see that little in section between two steeply dipping falls.

108:14 really is an unfolded section and an section where the false segments have not

108:20 up yet. All right. And with trap closure. But we want

108:27 identify the crest, the dips fill . Um, the topsail capacity limit

108:37 the false real capacity limit in the hype, which goes from the

108:42 So the oil water contact of the water contact. It may be less

108:46 the maximum possible closure that goes from crest to the ultimate gift spill

108:56 Okay, Alright. This book by pack and bishkek is a good reference

109:03 goes through all this in a lot detail. It's an expensive book,

109:09 it's a really good thorough description of the things that we just talked

109:15 Okay, okay. That was the of the first section. Okay.

109:25 hmm. You want to take another break or steam on ahead to the

109:29 section? It could break. Okay. Hey, welcome back.

109:39 go on with the next section. this is structural techniques. So these

109:45 things that will apply to maps and sections to make sure that there at

109:52 possible that they're not that there aren't big busts in the maps of the

109:58 sections. Right. Thank you um, to start, I want

110:06 review the things that we went Um, what's the, what

110:11 what is point a anybody? you didn't let me know the fourth

110:19 from tip. Yeah. Perfect. what is and then we've got the

110:25 . two lines here cut off line in a car. Fine here.

110:31 . The, the contours tell us this is the overthrown side and that's

110:35 down thrown story. So what what is this line be? Thank

110:42 . Because for fun, the Yeah, the football cut off.

110:52 what is, what is seeing I , hang on cut off.

111:01 Perfect. All right. And then is the what is the throw

111:06 D. Sure. Right there at what is the throw? Sure.

111:34 again please. Um, 75 sir. 3500 m here versus 34

111:46 m here. So it's 75 and what's what's the throne? A trick

111:57 . There is no throw. There no throw zero. Right.

112:01 Good. Okay. Um Let's see far. Let's throw conservation idea.

112:24 look at is this fault fault Oh are the if you look at

112:35 throws here versus here along the do they add up from the throes

112:44 along that fault intersection? It looks they're pretty close. Yeah, they're

113:26 close. And here here it's about see, it's 60 100 versus 60

113:33 . So it's about 100 m here . It's 60 200 versus 60

113:41 So it's about 100 m here. if we go here, it's about

113:48 4360-50 first news. Um We've got 50 m there. So yeah,

114:03 that's terrible sentence but 200 versus 100 1. 50 to 200. So

114:09 pretty close. Okay. These different components. What is what is what

114:26 a here? The food wall. football. What type of faults are

114:36 ? No more thoughts. Alright. is B the hunger wall hanging wall

114:42 the Robin? And what is 1? This one is sigma.

114:48 maximum stress. Perfect in three On minimal. Good. Great. Your

114:56 out of four. Okay. Um , I must give the answer

115:07 What type of faults are these? was fought. Reverse thoughts,

115:22 Reverse faults or thrust faults from an . The foot wall? Uh

115:34 One. The maximum stress. And the minimum, That's three.

115:40 the minimum. I gave that one . Good good job. Nice.

115:48 Okay. All right. So what going to look at our validating and

115:58 structural maps and cross sections and what gonna do is validate the maps by

116:05 contouring across the fault gaps. That looking at the contour differences across the

116:11 gaps. And then we'll validate cross by making sure they're hanging off.

116:18 shapes are related to the fault ships we'll make sure that the hanging wall

116:25 the football cutoffs match. All these are essential to make sure that you're

116:32 is geometrically possible. It doesn't mean perfectly right. But it has to

116:38 has to follow these rules at least a chance of being right.

116:48 All right. And the idea we're to do with the contours is that

116:51 we, when we contour the we typically stop the contours across the

116:57 . But the contours can continue across fault. Just like they do on

117:03 maps on a topographic map, your or surface contour comes and hits a

117:09 and then continues along the cliff. like showing showing here in this concert

117:14 , this concert come up, hit cliff and just they're still there.

117:18 just bunch up really tight. So going to use that concept, we're

117:24 apply that concept of faults. Okay Gillian. And so here I've

117:33 a structured contour map of the dome a fault here and I know from

117:40 marks and from the, the contours visits the up thrown, this is

117:44 down thrown side and and where that ft contour hits the fault, There

117:51 to be another 1600 ft contour. on the fault surface that just hasn't

117:56 , hasn't been drawn. So there to be a 1600-foot contour like that

118:07 . And if I go down the , I can draw contours like that

118:11 successive contour intervals. 1600 17, , 1900 and now The 1990 ft

118:26 intersects the down thrown side of the . So the contour comes like that

118:31 along the horizon and comes out the side like that. And then if

118:38 can continue down, I connect the contours on both sides of the fall

118:46 and and so on down the down hall fall. Now in my structure

118:54 maps, if I connect the contours the fall like that, they have

118:59 make some sensible pattern. There can't any crisscrossing of contours or flipping

119:06 I've thrown him down through the sides the fall. Okay, so here's

119:15 ? Yes, so like going to previous page. So in the fourth

119:22 , the side of the hanging the football that goes up, is

119:27 the downturn, downturn block or the block. So the hanging wall is

119:35 up front, the football is the thrown. So this is the this

119:43 the hanging wall. I'm sorry this the this is the football, the

119:48 inside and this is the hanging on down front side. Mhm. All

120:01 . Here's a published map from one the from an ape G bulletin

120:05 It's a structured contour map around the dome. You see the structure contours

120:12 Getting deeper this way. So this 14,014,100 14,214,314,400 here on this side again

120:27 contour, same con trainable 14,514,414,300. at this point what's the what's the

120:40 and down thrown side of the The octagon side is going to be

120:57 part of the higher elevation, the 500 parts. Why the downturn side

121:03 the salary lower innovation. Yeah. my my pointer is on the down

121:10 side and here this across the fault the up current side. Mhm.

121:17 I come over here and look at contours across here which is the up

121:22 side and which is the down thrown . So here I've got 14,600 on

121:53 side of the fault vs Something deeper 14,500 on this side of the

122:00 14005 50. So 14 600 versus 5 50 which is the down thrown

122:25 , 14 6, 14 5 The output is the downloads right?

122:34 , yeah. So this is this and down is wrong. This is

122:38 , this is the down thrown side and this is the up front side

122:44 . And so there are really two faults across here. This one is

122:51 through it on this side, this is down throwing on mm hmm This

122:57 . Okay. And if I, I connect the contours across the

123:11 it looks like this contreras on the define a down thrown side here With

123:19 1500 connecting with this 1500 15 6 14 6 connecting with that 14,

123:28 year. And if I go the sense of dip on fault

123:35 So here I've got up thrown and , thrown in. The contours connect

123:43 of 14,100 to 14,100, 14,200 to and so on 14 3 to 14

123:54 , 14 4 14 5 defining a that's dipping to the south. So

124:02 I've got a normal fault dipping in south here, I've got a normal

124:06 dip into the north. Um and telling me that these are really two

124:11 faults, there, not one through fault like this. Um and so

124:17 can use those um use the sense throw from the contours and the contra

124:24 constructed on the fault to tell whether faults are geometric way possible or

124:36 Okay, mm hmm. Okay. here, take a few minutes,

124:44 along this thrust fault, eh and at the contours on the north side

124:52 the south side and decide what the of which side is up and which

124:57 is down along this fault. in this these contours, you see

125:17 plus. So these are actually above level. So this way I'm going

125:22 , this is the crest is the numbers get smaller. You're getting deeper

125:30 this case because they're above sea level . What? Mhm. About

127:10 Sorry, say again. Um uploads the downwards about the toast. Is

127:21 ? Yes. So on here We elevations of 800 and 900 vs elevations

127:28 600 - 400. So along this is the up thrown side.

127:35 about what about? Over here here got elevations of Plus 900 plus Plus

127:58 75, a little deeper than 900 versus um Elevations of 1000 here.

128:07 over here, this is up through that's down thrown, mm hmm.

128:13 this is mapped. There has to a mistake because the sense of thrown

128:18 from at this point along the fault this point along the fault. So

128:30 I look along here at the it's up on this side and down

128:35 this side. Where's that coming? when I come over here, it's

128:40 on this side done on this So something's wrong with this false interpretation

128:48 on the horizon contours. This has be two different thoughts. Maybe a

128:54 fault here and a thrust fault merging other way along here. So two

129:02 different faults. I don't know. this is another another map of a

129:22 thrust belt field. Look along this . Cd and um, look at

129:33 difference in contours across the fault, elevation above sea level. So as

129:38 get higher, as the numbers get , they get higher and see if

129:43 displacement is consistent along this fault. . The south side of the city

130:26 the optional side. While the north . Is it down to your side

130:32 to activation. Nasa has a higher than the the south side of the

130:38 the south side of the photos. higher division that the north side of

130:42 float. Yes, that's that's Mostly until you get way over

130:50 Now it flips again because now I've um 700 against. It's not clear

131:00 600 in this in this area. seems to change here. I've got

131:08 Against 500. So no, maybe throw there here, you're correct.

131:13 going away around this is up and is down, Sorry. Okay.

131:23 here, just like you said, are correct. This is the up

131:26 side. This is the down thrown . Mm hmm. And that's clearly

131:31 case until you get to about here then when you get over here,

131:36 really aren't enough contours, I guess determine ah you may have no fault

131:43 just a small fault in here Because is 500 ft interval, you have

131:49 longer there. But along most of theory here, the fault is must

131:56 dipping the other direction, must be on this side and up on this

132:13 . Okay, so here's here's another . We've got contours on both sides

132:18 the fall. This is a two travel time. So as the numbers

132:24 bigger, you're getting deeper. So is going Went down here from 16

132:29 to 16 5 to 16 6. at the sense of throw across A

132:39 across B. Both in the up in the upper area here and in

132:45 down giant area here and over here see if they're consistent again. If

132:54 if you can either a power point on paper copies but construct contours across

132:59 fault and see what that tells you the faults. There's definitely something wrong

136:03 the north for the top part of fault block that the contours are

136:13 Yeah, exactly. Right. And you have a similar problem here along

136:18 be fault. So um so if look at the sense of throw in

136:29 contours um It doesn't make any You end up with crossing contours in

136:36 area. If you try and connect concerts across there. If you go

136:40 4 64 16 5, 2, 5, it's, it makes like

136:49 pinball, you have crossing contours. impossible in the sense of throat changes

136:55 here from, I've thrown here and , thrown here vs up thrown here

137:01 down, thrown here here. there's another problem phantom at this point

137:12 have 1640 contours potentially right across the and here again. Oh, it

137:22 . Maybe it flips here. It to be down to the north

137:26 maybe down to the south. So would have to connect the contours

137:31 Um, you have another crossing contours The 1660 could connect you to this

137:38 or this way. Right. So telling you there's potentially no fault

137:46 Mhm. Now there are two two solutions to this one is that the

137:54 are incorrect, faults are aliens are connected where the horizons are miss correlated

138:02 . So this is a, this a map based on seismic data,

138:06 from the, from the time mm hmm. If I go down

138:13 loop relative to here, then If this block is down a loop

138:18 to the surrounding blocks, then everything out just fine. Mhm. So

138:24 sometimes there's problem is telling me that faults are wrong and sometimes it's telling

138:30 that the horizons are miss correlated and know, this is a, this

138:41 a real map from, from producing and this was selected as an infield

138:48 . And because there was no, you had to make a jump correlation

138:51 this block. And um, somebody made the interpretation picked them on

138:59 If they've got a loop lower than the faults would have made sense.

139:04 with this interpretation it doesn't make any . But sometimes it's telling you about

139:09 falls and sometimes it's telling you that are correlated. Okay. Here's another

139:25 . This is a again, a , A real man from an infill

139:31 proposal. Yeah, false remount here here. And this was targeted as

139:39 day and field block. Mhm. these, these pencil notes in here

139:47 50, 50, 50, 50 . All those pencil notes are the

139:52 wonderful. Right. Look at the . Look at the contours across across

140:03 fault. Mhm. And and see it tells you about the fall.

140:10 you, would you drill, would drill this target or not? You

140:14 have a producing well here. Could put another precinct? Well in this

140:19 block. Hello sir. Yes, ahead. So I will say I

142:29 dream in that air because I feel , oh, I believe that the

142:37 the creating kind of a seal for , because I see two rolls,

142:44 producing wells one way we have the and the other side towards the north

142:50 the southeast of the map. So feel like the fourth kind of creates

142:57 a burger towards the flow. So have a buyout where we, where

143:03 reservoir do not spill. Yeah. the, to where we have the

143:09 inside or inside the boundary of this of this fault system. Yeah,

143:18 . So mm hmm. You wouldn't to drill in this area. That's

143:24 . This what you see is that fault is um there's, there's one

143:29 here dipping to the north. There's fault dipping here. Another fault here

143:35 to the south and the throw on is consistently 50ft along here Until you

143:43 to this contour and it's actually 0' here. So you have a leak

143:48 between these two faults in this. , most likely would have trained through

143:54 lead point to train this block as as as this other block.

144:01 okay. I didn't see the second this second fault. I thought they

144:06 all different towards the south. I see the, so that means that

144:10 related to romp around there. Yeah, yeah. So so the

144:14 slips again. This is dipping to north. This one is dipping to

144:17 south and that that creates this ramp no fall, no throw in between

144:25 . Um and this is this is of cool because it's a highly detailed

144:33 where the interpreter is provided all the that you need to make an educated

144:41 about whether this would be an infill or not. So. Mhm.

144:48 a nice marriage but you still you want to drill in here because there's

144:52 spill point right across here. This directly to this will questions sir.

145:05 . Hello? Yes. Yes. ahead. Being desert. Really around

145:11 , doesn't it allow the there is lot to spill into the fault

145:20 Are we going to get a little of spill in there? See the

145:24 not completely but yeah it's gonna be a but it's going to be looked

145:27 a buffalo. Yes, it's going look like a baffle. Um The

145:38 reservoir in this area will have reduced and permeability and all in a couple

145:49 sessions. We'll talk about that in lot of detail but with with no

145:55 at that point the it will not a strong baffle. Okay. Any

146:09 questions on this one. That was excellent point about the baffling.

146:20 I'll go ahead probably. Yeah. this is what we explained what we

146:30 talked about that at this point where have zero throw in a reversal in

146:36 . You know the relay between here it will be a baffle. But

146:42 well will most likely have trained this as well. Okay, here's a

146:55 another similar one on structured format two travel time. So the higher numbers

147:04 deeper. Look at the sense of along this fault. A bee and

147:11 the contours across there to see what's along this fault. Abby.

150:17 Are you sure? Yes. So will say The south part of the

150:24 baby, they have this area has highest elevation. That's before this secular

150:32 fault. They have the higher So I will say of 2-8 Um

150:39 2-300. And I would say that is up to you in part.

150:44 did 2 - 6? The north is a downturn part. Would you

150:50 by division? Um I think that's . I'm not sure exactly. Wait

150:59 second. But here problems Here the 50 20 to 60 is less than

151:09 820 300. So it's up thrown this side down thrown on this

151:15 And again it gets funny. Over you get into an area where there's

151:20 no throw across here and it changes the throne on this side down thrown

151:29 this side. Mm hmm. Well in a spot in here where there's

151:34 no throat where you can go directly 20 to 60 to 20 to 60

151:39 here. So you have a good thrown fault here and little or no

151:46 here. If there is a fault down thrown in the opposite direction.

152:09 . And what we're going to do look at a series of cross sections

152:13 here. First we'll look at this then this one where there's maybe no

152:18 in this room where it's down to north. So first we'll look at

152:25 section one. Mhm. So here section one, the yellow line is

152:33 map level. And you see, problem here is we've actually got two

152:40 intersecting. We've got one fault coming and another fault coming here at at

152:46 point. This South Typical one is dominant fault and the offset is down

152:54 the south if we go to the section. So that was this section

153:03 in the south. If I come section two over here, which is

153:06 we'll look at. Next. See my there's my map arising there in

153:12 yellow and there's there's virtually no offset this point. You're right at the

153:18 where these two faults intersect each they intersect each other at the horizon

153:25 . If I continue on to section over here. Now this phone takes

153:32 and the sense of displacement flips now northeast side down. So again,

153:42 got two faults along this fault gap , I've got a south dipping fault

153:49 here I've got a north tipping fall a little area in between where those

153:54 faults intersect right at the map level there's there's firstly no thrown at that

154:04 . Sure. So right at this , The two false intersect the intersect

154:12 at the map level first, essentially throw and um, this will,

154:20 will still be a baffle on production scale on geologic time scale that will

154:26 see. And this is this is cool outcropping sample of that where we've

154:36 two intersecting false one coming down this in another, coming down this way

154:44 in this area where the two false , you see, there's just there's

154:50 lot of death and destruction in there lots of minor faults. Cross cutting

154:54 intersecting falls. Sorry, in this it will not seal on a geologic

155:01 . All right. But it will a baffle on a production time

155:16 Okay. Yeah. So next we a got a structured contour map of

155:24 of a dome hi here, going in all four directions around it.

155:30 contour intervals at The 50 m contour incorrect. Right? All these straight

155:37 are blue and red. Straight lines well past and these guys are

155:47 Mm hmm. Here here, there another set of false here and

155:55 here one. And this is a is an output from from patrol using

156:04 automated fault tracking module and patrol and it is in complicated structures. It

156:17 a very poor job. All So if we if we do the

156:25 exercise. If we look at the to get the offset across these

156:32 We identify a bunch of problems with fault interpretation. All right.

156:38 And this this was a cool one when I showed it, I was

156:44 a meeting to talk about the pluses minuses of patrol. And I showed

156:51 as a thing against the false auto in betrayal. And my manager stood

156:58 and said I made that map And neither one of us was

157:08 So if we look along the false here, along here, there's no

157:14 along those faults. There's there's little no offset along this fault. And

157:21 if you come down to these this , single fault supposedly here and look

157:28 the contras, it's up front on side, down from here and then

157:32 flipped itself thrown here, down, here and then it flips again where

157:36 up thrown here and down thrown here Patrol has even labeled, it's up

157:41 here and down from here. Um it's still, it doesn't have the

157:46 to not identified as one fault that it all as one fault going through

157:53 . Um So when you're using a auto picker like in betrayal. So

157:59 need to pee, particularly careful to the results to make sure that they're

158:05 reasonable. Okay. Um All This is this is another tricky

158:21 We're looking at a pop up block a in a thrust terrain. So

158:28 my crest is here, it's plunging this way and plunging off this way

158:33 here I've got just last week I have one fault on the north

158:44 , living in the south here, got one fault on the south side

158:50 to the north connect connect the contours these two fault gaps and see what

158:59 tells you about the, about the . Mm hmm. If the contours

161:18 everything is right, it looks kind like a strain ellipse. What do

161:30 mean? I guess it's like the thing is just kind of extending.

161:41 . Mhm. You get some really stuff if you connect the contours.

161:48 hmm. If you just connect the from the horizon, you get contours

161:56 this and similarly on the north which would indicate fault dips in the

162:02 direction. It would indicate a self here in the north dipping fault

162:09 All right. But we know from seismic and the general geology that the

162:13 or reverse faults. So they have go the other way. If you

162:23 and make a false dip the other , you get this kind of elliptical

162:27 , which I think is what Angela referring to. Um, we're now

162:32 are getting keeper of the south and of the north. Um, but

162:38 a very, it's a very strange for a fault on twitter.

162:52 in much, what's happening here is with this with this vertical seismic profile

163:02 a false something like this. where this area everything goes vertical and so

163:11 lose, you lose seismic, you seismic reflections. One in what's now

163:19 the structure contra matt or the cut points like along here where part of

163:25 is on the horizon and then you lose it. And there's no data

163:31 where the legs go vertical. Um so this that the concerts here really

163:38 represent the fault. They in they probably represent the verticality of this

163:44 plan where the fold goes vertical. you can you can apply the same

163:54 of connecting the contours to reverse But it's probably with seismic data,

164:01 probably not telling you about the fault probably telling you about the vertical

164:07 That's in that no data zone. map is a cut off line here

164:13 maps the limit of seismic resolution rather an actual fault cut off. Question

164:23 . Yes. So in a real situation, it's the do Control the

164:31 control that is fully the deep of 40. That correct compared to

164:37 Is that more correct compared to what have right now. So this this

164:42 more correct from this contoured pattern is right, geometrically possible. But geologically

164:53 faults are never shaped like that. contours on the thrust faults should go

164:58 other direction. I mean, we about this a lot more further,

165:04 the contours on thrust faults follow something the bow and arrow rule, whether

165:11 go the opposite way there, um convex in the direction of thrusting.

165:19 there should be contoured, curved in opposite direction to what we see

165:35 Is that is that clear? sir, correct. All right.

165:48 is this is another call and this an artifact of the, the things

165:54 we can do with our size of packages. So we're looking at overall

165:59 but a faulted dome um high up with the bright colors dipping off this

166:06 dipping off this way. But while contact shown here in red on this

166:11 , um here in red on the thrown side, a series of faults

166:18 through here. These all these black represent false horizons and intersection lines.

166:26 these are where the fault picks intersect horizon. And then when you look

166:33 at the map, you see there all these little bull's eyes along Different

166:40 on the map. There's one, another, there's another. Um and

166:52 so you have overall a dome with little like pimples or pinnacles pumping up

166:59 of the overall dome structure. And what's happened here is, is

167:07 here, let me go back this section goes through one of those little

167:13 . So we're looking at a cross through here that goes through this little

167:18 here. So there's there's my map , wow. And here's where I

167:27 this little pinnacle coming up or the . Mm hmm And what, what

167:34 interpreter is done here is take this level and he's he's trying to snap

167:41 to the well tops in the world and all right, some something step

167:51 that point. Um Either this was interview didn't use a wide enough smoothing

167:59 when he did the snapping of the tops or he's actually mapped the wrong

168:04 along here. If I pick on horizon, it's a loop higher.

168:09 would still follow the same structure and all the well talks. Mm

168:15 So when you, when you snap rise into the wells and you get

168:19 bull's eyes is telling you that the map interest and really doesn't represent the

168:26 tops and you need to, you to take the horizon loop higher to

168:35 all the well tops. Mhm. . Any comments or questions on that

168:48 before we go on. Um Yes . So I know when you're using

168:57 to make maps, especially when the didn't either para spacing or pharaoh controls

169:06 equal spacing controls. You can see bull's eyes like which will refer to

169:13 an artifact. So can those can control method be attributed to why we

169:19 this broadside here or is it just ? Mhm. It it can

169:29 it can be either. Um And you see these bull's eyes, you

169:36 to go back to the original interpretation see if there ah see whether they're

169:46 to picking the wrong map level or they're an artifact of the snapping routine

169:51 you used. If you for I'm fine. If I went back

169:59 this and kept this horizon but whitened snapping parameters. So I didn't get

170:06 little pinnacle, I would still crosscut seismic data some distance away from each

170:12 of these things so that um that honoring the seismic data would tell me

170:20 I picked the wrong horizon here. . If you if you she snapped

170:27 whole event loop higher and it would through and it would honor both your

170:33 data and you're and you're well So you need to go back to

170:39 interpretation and see what the best fix , what the best correction is.

171:01 right. The other thing that's, incredibly important to massage the data is

171:06 use the time slices. Um So we're looking at a a time slice

171:13 you see all these beautifully image false the time slice. And then all

171:19 things with the yellows and the Our fault picks that have been

171:25 And the diamond shows where they intersect time spice. The blue shows where

171:31 go below the time slice. The part shows where they go above the

171:35 slice two here in here and along of these faults. I have some

171:44 nice fall picks honoring the time slice . There's another really clear nice room

171:50 through there. Mm hmm. But these these red dashed polygons represent the

172:04 gaps from the horizon. And what show is that on the horizon map

172:11 fault picks have been alias and don't the actual fault. So this fault

172:19 for example is combining part of this with part of this fault. Oh

172:26 , somebody went back and the default in more detail ensure that these are

172:33 separate faults and not one fault going like this. This aliasing of fault

172:41 , happens when you make very widely fault picks and then make them

172:47 Um And that's why it's it's extremely to use your time slices when you're

172:55 your fault picks. To help get fault correlations comparably mapped. Mm

173:02 And again, a lot of time lapped just from the vertical profiles and

173:06 don't even construct the time slice But you know, if you're dealing

173:12 a complex series of faults, it's to use that time slice data and

173:17 enables you to make the interpretation much instead of going through line by line

173:24 line, you can make one fault here and then make another one somewhere

173:29 here. Mhm. Make it pick the time slice itself that links those

173:35 space fault checks. And the result you get a better interpretation faster by

173:42 on the time slices as well as the verdict profiles. If any of

173:54 worked with time slice data and made picks like this. Um Yes

174:01 Um use petrol to do this time . It's it's that's an excellent thing

174:11 do is very very good and lets make a better interpretation faster.

174:21 Okay. We've been talking about maps I'm going to switch now and talk

174:26 cross sections and fold fold relationships and sections. And the main point I

174:34 to make is that hanging well fold and the underlying fault shapes are dependent

174:40 each other. So if you know fault shape or you know the hanging

174:45 full shape. Um it helps you the one that you don't know as

174:51 . So where I have a realistic felt like this um I'm necessarily going

174:57 get a little roll over an incline the hanging wall collapses into the gap

175:04 by movement along that fall. One an anti Listrik following that like

175:12 I'm going to get the opposite sense folding of rotation. Um Get this

175:17 of reverse drag into the fall as hanging wall tries to move over that

175:23 dip of the form similarly from reverse where I have a Listrik shaped reversible

175:30 this. And so I moved this from right to left across here.

175:36 going to push it up that district and create a hanging wall to climb

175:40 in here, right. If the , it's the fault tips out,

175:48 get a nice symmetric an incline that a full bend fall over the

175:54 It's again related to the shape of fall where the fault is horizontal.

175:59 no vertical displacement of the beds. only where the false starts to ramp

176:05 . That you start to get the of the overlying beds. So when

176:09 here, the fault is flat. horizons are not displaced vertically. It's

176:15 when they start to go up the . So you start to get this

176:18 up the of the hanging wall And these are the for normal

176:28 these are the three basic fault geometries you have a plane or fault,

176:34 just have planter beds and no rotation the beds. Where you have a

176:39 shaped fall like this. You have roll over an incline collapsing into the

176:44 phone where you have this anti Listrik shaped like this. Then you get

176:50 reverse drag up into the up into falls here. Okay, excuse

177:07 So this this gets a little more with growth faults and growth fault geometries

177:15 um as the extension occurs, the increases from the shallow levels down to

177:24 deep level. So here where the is tipping out, you have little

177:29 no displacement. The moderate displacement here the light cream in a large displacement

177:35 the green and the purple here and football in the green and the purple

177:40 and the hanging wall. Um When restore these, wow, you only

177:50 get a little bit of displaced. even work here. Mhm. And

177:55 you restored deeper and deeper horizons, get more and more of the displacement

178:02 with the reconstruction or with the Right? So this is an animation

178:12 a Listrik normal fault. Mr over see is that is the hanging wall

178:24 out to the right. This part the hanging wall collapses into ballistic normal

178:31 here. From this point outwards, no vertical displacement of these hanging wall

178:39 . But from this point in board get this roll over an incline.

178:57 was this animation is just a nice to show how the hanging wall shape

179:01 the full shape are related. now, when we when we get

179:16 roll over anne klein, we've got very complex series of false developed in

179:23 . Okay, and this is an where here's my Listrik Master fault going

179:31 here, but here's my hanging on . And as these beds roll over

179:38 that Listrik Normal farm, I get series of conjugate normal faults.

179:44 to hear that allowed this extension and over of the annual as the fall

179:52 out um I get more and more these false generated higher in the

179:59 So I get multiple generations of these where here I've got the first set

180:04 this moves over the inflection point. , as I continue to move out

180:08 the inflection point again, another series faults here at G two. And

180:14 continued movement over that extent inflection point successive generations of G three and G

180:22 formed as the hanging wall moves over inflection point in the listed fault.

180:30 , as a result of this list geometry, I end up with a

180:33 complex set of conjugate normal faults. used to hang along. All

180:44 so here's an animation of a complex fault where we have concave up

180:51 Concave down anti Listrik shape and then Listrik shape again. And you see

180:57 to hang all beds change depending on part of fold their passing over here

181:04 the district part of the default I get a garden variety role of

181:09 klein here over this anti Listrik I get this reverse track over this

181:18 , creating an overall and declining Doing this again. Okay, so

181:47 see here we get the rollover and clone here we get the reverse track

181:52 this concave up part of the fault where it goes, Listrik again,

181:58 get it roll over anne klein Internet part of the fault. Oftentimes

182:05 seismic data, this part of the verily poorly imaged in this. The

182:13 of the hanging wall built is well . And so you can use that

182:18 while geometry to infer what the fault needs to be. Mr um you're

182:31 to use an example of that from mhm sandbox model. Friend ballistic

182:38 The animalistic shape, realistic shape. here in the update district shape.

182:44 see that that role over an incline with the anti Listrik part. You

182:50 that reverse track in the crust of rollover. You get these extension all

182:56 allowing the beds to extend into that of around a climb. And here

183:03 you go from this, this Listrik to a flat. You got another

183:09 of constant normal flashing allowing the best extend and roll over to create

183:16 Mm hmm. To create this mystery shape. So here's, here's an

183:32 from seismic data. Um so there's , my master fault going through here

183:40 . I've got a Listrik concave up and then sort of a flat,

183:45 concave up shaped concave up shape through . Ah And so as this extends

183:52 the right, I get a roll an incline here with complex series of

183:59 normal faults and the crest of that of randy klein. Mhm. Older

184:05 out here, younger ones forming closer to the inflection point in these

184:12 move out to the right and then I go over this inflection, I

184:18 a synthetic normal fault here that takes the strain associated with going over that

184:25 point. And then here everything is plainer. And so the guys are

184:30 down dropped along, not playing or with minor countries faulting along the

184:44 Alright, this this is an example these crystal collapsed ground faults from producing

184:52 in Nigeria. All these steeply dipping services represent individual faults. Mm

185:01 The lightly colored surfaces here and here the purple and here in the yellow

185:07 different reservoir beds. And you see these contribute faults come down and they

185:15 each other. Um And you end with very complex shaped fault blocks.

185:21 the part of the importance of this as you go deeper, if folk

185:26 gets smaller and the trainable volume of folk blocks gets smaller and smaller.

185:32 the well planned, it gets more more complicated as you go deeper and

185:36 into this complex. Mhm. What we're seeing here on kilometer field

185:50 is the same as what we saw that seismic data with these cross cutting

185:56 falls and analogous to what we saw our crop here, where we have

186:01 cross cutting normal falls and we have lot of death and destruction intersecting faults

186:07 writing those conjugate zones. Mhm. so these. Mhm. Well planning

186:15 complicated. The reservoir blocks get smaller the baffling between default blocks becomes

186:23 very strong. Okay, so these faults where X falls involved from the

186:40 of different faults. Children's like we about earlier. So here I've got

186:45 two normal faults dipping in opposite It's just a schematic. So here

186:52 see from the contours dipping to the here we're dipping to the south.

186:59 as these faults grow, they're going intersect each other, inform this.

187:07 content. Excuse me. This conjugate along a cross section by a prime

187:16 . And we'll see this geometry where a while the green fault dominating,

187:22 the red fall as we progress That will change. Okay, as

187:32 progress alarm that will change until the fault becomes the through going fault in

187:36 green fault is offset by the red . That's all um an artifact or

187:46 of how these faults grow from different with opposite opposing dips. Mhm.

187:56 . Now this is another, this another example. We've gotta Listrik fault

188:02 with a rollover and inclined here With main conjugate here. f. one

188:08 lots of minor anesthetic and synthetic faults here in the yellow. And this

188:16 this Robin block A. Is a infill target. Mhm. And here

188:25 the In the hanging on the football 4. 1 of these three horizons

188:31 . B. And C. But the other side in the gravel in

188:38 . Um I have only interpreted one a. And this is um this

188:53 this is showing me an error in interpretation If I have something like A

188:59 and C. On one side of phone, I have to have those

189:03 things on the other side of the and these things can't just disappear completely

189:08 this section. And so the mismatch here means that the city horizon in

189:14 grabbing has to be pulled up higher fit these BNC horizons in the in

189:21 grab in here. And so the lesson to take away from this is

189:28 that hits one side of the fault to be present on the other side

189:32 the fault right? And for an target like this it gives you more

189:39 , it gives you three target horizons of just one. So the fact

189:45 you have a BNC on this sort thought, I mean you have to

189:48 a B and C in the grabbing on this side of the phone,

189:54 you have a question. So this a restrict normal for the abc in

190:01 hanging wall of the great forts. one should go down. Well I'm

190:08 since um section A has been Section B and C. Might be

190:14 by this vote at this popular forts deep in the opposite direction. So

190:21 taking you that it's a reason why represented in there. Um No because

190:31 as long as as long as they the green fault here, they have

190:36 be on the other side of the fault. They can't be faulted out

190:56 . And one of the things that can do to evaluate this further,

191:01 see if I have any need. rather than just picking on tracks and

191:12 , you can take an arbitrary line goes from here around that goes into

191:19 in the place of this section, dip around the tip of F.

191:24 for and then comes back up into grub and here and carry these three

191:32 around the tip of the fault back the ground in this way. And

191:37 that's the best way to confirm where are in the grab in here.

191:43 alternative thing you could do would be try and do a reconstruction this

191:51 And if you restore it to this . Level here and here we will

191:56 a gap in this in the keel the grab in here. Or that's

192:02 you you have to have B. C filling in here and the

192:05 Has to be higher in the in grabbing block here. Right? So

192:11 are two ways you can check this is using An arbitrary seismic line that

192:17 all the way around fault. the other more complicated way is to

192:21 a reconstruction mm hmm. To see happens when you restore the A.

192:26 a horizontal datum. But either way will get you to the same.

192:33 answer point telling you that you need have B. And C. In

192:36 ground here. If it hits one of the fault, it needs to

192:40 on the other side of the Mm hmm. Okay. Here's

192:53 here's another interesting one. Cross Seismic section. Crystal collapsed structure over

192:58 tone. Mm hmm. Reservoir horizons here and here. False sticks here

193:08 , here and here. Here. got a very large displacement shall in

193:16 section and basically no displacement deeper in section. Mhm. What does

193:25 what does that tell you about about the faults or about the default

193:31 system here? The reason why we no displacements in the blue and

193:41 is that area is the tip of fault before too. Um that's that's

193:51 good answer. That's one possible I mean, one possible answer.

193:56 . Mhm. Mhm. The other , if you mm hmm. If

194:21 flatten on the green horizon or you on the green horizon here, you're

194:26 to pull these guys up into a sense of offset across fear implying that

194:33 would be a reactivated originally reverse Mm hmm. And depending on,

194:42 your tectonic setting, you can probably that or not. Um The

194:49 the other possibility is just that these been the seismic data is not so

194:58 in here and these have been smoothed cross it. Mm hmm. So

195:04 than having before tip out here, you could drop these horizons down to

195:13 a consistent displacement across default. So would be displaced from here to there

195:22 from there to down here somewhere. trying to think how you could tell

195:38 this were oh, the fault tip not. Mm hmm. I don't

195:52 how you could. Mm hmm. you can check that interpretation for

195:58 I think there might be a possibility you would just have to live

196:03 You might not resolve that to those possible interpretations. Yes. Okay.

196:18 right. So, um, let's . Let's see how much is left

196:25 here. Yeah, there's not there's too much left in this section.

196:33 let's go ahead. Sure. The important thing in cross sections is making

196:44 that you're flats and rams match. , here we've got a Listrik.

196:50 fault with the rollover and decline. hmm. And this is a where

196:59 , where the beds make a high or cut off is considered a rant

197:04 the beds make a line or cut . Like this is considered a

197:09 Mhm. In the ramps and the I need to match in any

197:15 So here, I've got randy with corresponding ramp here here, I've got

197:21 flat with no corresponding flat here in football here, I've got another ramp

197:28 a corresponding ramp here in the yellow the football. If I try and

197:33 this. If I flatten on the horizon, I create a gap in

197:40 at the base of the at the of the green horizon. So,

197:46 this was telling me that the fault in here has to change. Also

197:53 this rollover track here is telling me the fault needs to have an anti

197:58 shape deeper here in the session. hanging wrong interpretation is telling me that

198:06 fault interpretation, it has to change this Listrik shape to a Listrik shape

198:12 an anti Listrik shape deeper here in section. So here's the here's the

198:23 interpretation where I have Listrik falls upper the upper part and an anti Listrik

198:30 deeper here in the lower part. . This is consistent with the,

198:35 the cut offs. Now I just hang high and will cut off on

198:40 sides. 24. I've eliminated the in this flat ground interpretation.

198:49 And if I was prospecting for target down here, lower in the section

198:54 hands. Um I have a trap I don't have in in in this

199:09 . So again, two things the ramps and flats have to match

199:14 the shape of the with the hang fold has to match with the shape

199:19 the underlying fold. So both of are telling you, you have to

199:23 this this drunken antes restrict termination fault now in thrust faults, thrust fault

199:37 . Um It's very important to get ramps and flags to match again and

199:43 is a cartoon showing how that So here's the on the farm state

199:50 the full while here and hanging out , I have a ramp here in

199:57 foot long and a corresponding ramp here the hanging role. Then I have

200:02 flat here in the football with a flat and the hang on another ramp

200:09 in the football with a ramp in hanging long and finally the last flat

200:15 in the football. And so in deformed state, if I move this

200:23 right to left, end up with shape in the hanging wall. But

200:28 still have the same ramp flat This ramp and hanging along is now

200:36 ramp here in the hanging wall street state. This flat is this flat

200:43 the base of the blue. This cut off in the green, is

200:48 ram cut off from the green and this flat and the base of the

200:53 . Is this flat in the base the korean here. And so mm

201:00 . When we're looking at an informed interpretation like this, you want to

201:04 through the football and hanging on and sure that you have the same matching

201:11 and flats in both the football and hanging off. Alright, so this

201:23 an alternative interpretation. So I have similar hanging wall geometry but my ramps

201:29 flats don't match Here. I've got one ramp in the football and then

201:36 long flat in the base of the and the hanging wall. Whereas in

201:42 football I have two ramps, one . He had to get the cut

201:47 of the blue and then went back at the cut off of the

201:51 So in this case the ramps and don't match and I don't get to

201:56 a bull session in here. If try and restore this to match the

202:01 cutoffs and up the gap here, telling me I have to go back

202:06 revise the interpretation. Alright, come here. So here thrust fault,

202:24 sections on. We want to make that the ramps and the flat

202:30 Um But then there are these additional . The bed thicknesses and lengths need

202:36 be constant in the a deformed state the under formed state. The flats

202:41 to be located in the shells. ramps need to be located in massive

202:47 stones or massive carbonates. The number ramps in the hangar all need to

202:52 the number of ramps in the football similarly, the number of number of

202:57 of flats in the hanging wall. too, for the rights a number

203:02 flats in the football stream. so this is this is a summary

203:23 what we just talked about that these of flats need to match.

203:28 Mm hmm with geo mechanical restorations. way those work is that they strain

203:36 elements to make them fit back It's like it's kind of like putting

203:40 jigsaw puzzle together with a sledgehammer. here's an example of that. Where

203:47 I have an unbalanced herbal section. see, I have one ramp here

203:52 then a long flat. It's the of the purple. And in the

203:57 I have one ramp here and then ramp here at the purple cut

204:02 Mm. When I restore this with two mechanical restoration, I can strain

204:08 hang around football to make these things back together in doing that. You

204:15 , I get these distortions and thicknesses the beds. I have a lot

204:19 thickening um warm along the mismatch of thrust fault. And these will show

204:28 in your geo mechanical restorations as high areas. And you need to go

204:33 look at the thickness is and and if the thicknesses are constant or

204:38 If the thickness isn't enough. If thicknesses are not constant, it's telling

204:42 that there's there's an error in the . And even even though it's restored

204:47 mechanically, but it's not, it's a geologically reasonable answer. All

204:56 And Danelle is sort of the leading restoration package. And if you when

205:04 use that, you need to be careful to make sure when you do

205:08 restoration, you don't get these crazy and that you've done thicknesses remained

205:20 Okay, so to summarize this section Matthew criteria, the false must have

205:28 sense of offset to the sense of and down thrown sides has to be

205:34 along the fault. The contours across fault gaps needed to find consistent

205:41 If you get flips in the deeper contours, it's telling you that you've

205:46 correlated the frogs and you need to extra careful to QC auto pitfalls and

205:54 auto picture horizons or snap horizons. hmm. Look out for those bull's

206:00 that were identified to make sure that have the right horizon and use the

206:05 smoothing parameters in cross sections. the hanging draw shapes and football shapes

206:14 to need to correlate. So if have a plane or fault, I

206:18 to have plane of horizons. if I have planted horizons, they

206:23 to have a plane or fault. I have a rollover anna klein,

206:28 need to have a Listrik fault. conversely where I have a Listrik

206:32 I have to have a room of klein where I have a concave up

206:38 anti district fault. I need to this reverse fault track into the

206:43 Or conversely, if I see this track, I need to have this

206:47 mistress shaped in the fall. And then lastly, hang on.

206:54 cutoffs need to match and both our faults and then reverse faults and the

207:00 and flats in the number of faults reverse faults. The color match.

207:10 . So that's, um, that's I'll wrap up for today. We'll

207:15 tomorrow again. It'll all be virtual we'll start talking about it to your

207:20 at 8 30. Tomorrow morning. the whole course going to be virtual

207:26 just this weekend? You know, whole course is going to be

207:29 Yes. Okay. You know the you used today that will work for

207:36 friday and the link that you got tomorrow will work for every saturday carry

207:51 . Okay. Anymore. The So it's the Internet and the final

207:55 be on the line. I'm I didn't hear that. The,

208:05 , the mentor and the final will online as well. Thank
