00:00 Okay, So are and contour. something where they're about in the middle

00:06 the farm and the throw decreases both . Dip down, dip and as

00:12 go from the center, out to edge of the fall, intriguing.

00:28 on this section. Look at the in the fall. We get this

00:37 well. That's contoured in terms of . So are zero tip wanted our

00:43 cut off. Good. No throat down. Thrown, cut off is

00:53 and the colors along the fault represented placement. So we've got a maximum

00:58 here, approximately in the center of fall. That and so it's

01:06 The electric throw ratios are varied from to 100 but 50 is a good

01:14 . So if you throw is 50 , your life is gonna be about

01:19 m, so we can use the when you get to the just the

01:27 how much beyond the size of resolution might expand. So here we've got

01:40 scatter plot fault length in meters ranging 1 m, too, uh,

01:50 . Fear versus this is displacement ranging , uh, centimeter e o A

02:00 Huber and what's plotted here are Throw data from several different sets of

02:07 on those were shot in the color . Here these are Strike slip Fault

02:15 to be a little bit skewed from others. These are trust falls.

02:21 are the Reds are all normal He's blues to mourn or false.

02:27 then the the blue The light blues here strikes the falls and the hollow

02:35 down here. The whole reds are again. So if we put some

02:41 some lines on that thing is a displacement ratio of one like displacement ratio

02:48 10 length displacement ratio of 100 like of about 1000. So these these

03:00 numbers bracket most of the data, , the strikes of false. Here's

03:05 little bit scared on that, but because the displacement throttle is not necessarily

03:12 displacement. So that excuse these And this red line represents the rule

03:19 thumb that the length to throw ratios 15. So if I have a

03:26 with, let's say, 100 years , I can estimate that it z

03:32 have about It's gonna be how the of about five kilometers. Right?

03:44 this is something that we can use help interpret the seismic data you see

03:49 . I'm looking at a why. Concert from three suspects. I have

03:55 idea. And a closet. That is trending along here. You and

04:02 diamonds here, here and here also the intersections of fault sticks with robotic

04:13 . So these are essentially fault strikes . This trend of these essentially represents

04:19 strike of the form. And so I'm looking at here has been interpreted

04:25 a 10 kilometer long strike slip But if I look at any run

04:33 across here, I see the slip . The fault is less than 50

04:39 . So is that. And this , ah, discussion questions that a

04:46 length to throw ratio using our 1 50 rule. Good. Anybody speak

05:02 and give me their guests? It slow. Do it if you go

05:15 that plot. I discovered groups So if I have a 50 m

05:25 before, bitch, why value in intersection? 10 Clamor fault life really

05:35 of this cluster of data, displaced a 50 m is right. I

05:42 expect that fault have a displacement somewhere along this red line of about 2.5

05:50 , about 2500 m and sort of we're what we're looking at with something

05:56 this is probably a Siris of disconnected on false. And that's important because

06:03 means that thes Siri's defaults would not any reservoir up here. You

06:10 fall tips here and over here, would allow fluids to float around these

06:16 on DSO fox like this with this of low displacement length ratio with long

06:25 your reservoir. Right. Okay, we're looking at another plot of or

06:38 versus fall 20 ft. Uh You see, most of the data

06:43 here between through with 10 and throwing through length ratio of about 100.

06:50 ? What might be responsible for these here or over here again? Four

07:00 open. Anybody speak up? Bad bad. Bad data is a

07:13 But what in terms of the Yes. So, over in this

07:31 this cluster, we're seeing a lot we're seeing three sticks, falls row

07:39 interpreters, long displacement, and so each one of these points really represents

07:47 shorter fault on if we apply that to 50 ratio at this point,

07:54 point is extreme and wind up somewhere in here. So this cluster probably

08:00 a lot of small faults that have over correlated in the seismic data

08:11 Conversely, over here way have a of highly throw falls that air interpreted

08:18 have really short flex hold on. so probably thes false are would be

08:29 that. If this throw is the false they're probably much longer.

08:33 of being a couple 100 ft long a couple 1000 ft long and belonging

08:39 in this cluster. Come on. when When we're looking at the scientific

08:45 and we're confident of the throw waken guesstimate of what kind of length of

08:51 fault should have says. All just listen what I just said in

09:04 So you have that for your Okay. The other interesting thing is

09:12 the fault zone thickness is the function the displacement. And so I've got

09:17 of get out a lot of fall and meters vs fault displacement in meters

09:26 these thes lines running through the data ratios off for 1 2001 to 101

09:35 10 in the Blue line here in Green Line, kind of bound

09:42 But the data in here and this to 100 ratio kinda ball statistically runs

09:49 the middle of it. So if have a fault in core and I

09:58 have a job zone that, let's , 1/10 of the meters of the

10:03 centimeters thick, I would expect the to be about 10 m long in

10:16 of a. This is really important we talk about the whole compartmentalization and

10:22 fault seals, where the fault, and the ability of the fault

10:28 retard, floor and P flow is a function of the fault thickness.

10:34 we'll talk about that in some Okay, but this is getting in

10:41 this, and it's to emphasize that , good rule of thumb is that

10:45 displacement is about 100 times the Here's an application of that, and

10:58 is another quiz discussion for him. if you have got a cure,

11:03 got a core. I've got a fault in there. But,

11:08 I just don't fitness in There is so 0.5 m and I want to

11:17 I thought I can relate to this in Khobar Google fault in the seismic

11:24 with this guy's thickness. What? expected this to be a seismically resolvable

11:32 . No. Yeah, so that the right answer You would expect it

11:42 be. So if it's if it's m thick and that's that's what a

11:47 of thumb you don't expect to have a half meter displacement on that on

11:53 fall. And we can get that this trump to scatter plot. So

12:03 my throat of 005 m, but just my 1 to 100 line about

12:10 about a half a year. So felt like this and core. I

12:15 not expect the city on the stars on this, you know, statistically

12:22 . It's kind of a fungible It depends on the quality of your

12:26 data and, uh, a lot variables that are beyond the geologist

12:33 Um, but that half a meter I would not expect to see in

12:40 of my stars data. Okay. right. So we're gonna go on

12:49 talk about false segmentation. Uh, faults are segmented horizontally and vertically.

12:57 the idea of this is that those lips is that we talked about

13:02 represent early form, false and that grows. They tend to link up

13:13 and increased with increasing deformation. And find something that's important to understand because

13:19 relay evaporates individual false statements. Mhm. All right, so the

13:31 here is that many faults are not single plane, their discontinuous or segment

13:37 their individual ellipses. Oh, and those dis continuity is to influence those

13:44 distribution. So here we're looking uh, slip vs length data from

13:52 sets of faults, One from coal in the UK, another from the

13:57 top. Get tough in California. you see, the individual thoughts go

14:03 a minimum to a maximum, a again. And then it's taken up

14:10 another fault here, with the minimum maximum and a minimum here in a

14:17 fault here with minimum here, here and here. In the maximum

14:23 towards the middle of this false So the and we see a stomach

14:29 here with 12345678 different fault. The profile is analogous to that of a

14:40 fault, but it's in fact, of different fault segments. Eso We'll

14:48 a large displacement on some of these , but we'll still have rams around

14:55 faults, allowing flow between the different . And this is something depending on

15:03 size of resolution. We may not able to resolve this, and this

15:07 part of the uncertainty we'll talk about false feels. Here's here's another.

15:15 example, things is from the canyon in Utah. This is published by

15:22 insults. Any city Nice, Ted here, actually displacement here,

15:30 tip line here and that it doesn't directly with this next fault.

15:36 in between we have this ran that's as a relay ran between this fall

15:43 this fall, and this just serves relay the displacement from one fault to

15:49 next. Uh, this this is extent, uh, all right,

15:57 , from Arches in Utah, if of you have been at the arches

16:01 hiked up to the delicate arch walk on the trail trip goes up This

16:07 really ramp on the fault hears about m. It has about 10

16:12 Just throw. But in between you this really ramp that separates the two

16:19 false statements. And so this is opportune three D cartoon diagram showing the

16:31 of a relate around. So I one fault here despite been here for

16:36 horizon here, consulted here, cut another false here up throwing the football

16:44 off the down through the hanging rock off Hi displacement here dying out to

16:50 tip and this really ramp in That's gonna allow communication of fluids from

16:56 overall down through inside into this overall from inside. Some of these really

17:02 are gonna limit our, uh, of the false to trap a large

17:09 column or to compartmentalize a large Israel and grandfather pressure communication from one

17:18 of these falls to the other side falls. So here's a Here's a

17:26 example of these on sort of 100 scale, and these come from on

17:32 Ethiopian rift system in Central Africa and put off here. So that's my

17:40 . Well, cut off football cut running a launch here along the

17:46 A next fault is over here with hanging while cut off here, a

17:50 here and the down thrown side here then in between. I've just got

17:55 basically folded later. All right, to this'll represents a really ramp that

18:05 communication from here to the down thrown . And that's that's just a beautiful

18:15 of this some kind of hundreds of scale. Yeah. So this is

18:23 getting in on that. We're here in the yellow. The really it's

18:31 up by some false, but its continuous from the upturn side into the

18:34 thrown side. Whereas over here, got almost plenty of this fault shown

18:41 in the wider lips where that really has been broken through. So this

18:49 essentially propagated laterally from somewhere here in center to the right, into the

18:56 and then linked up with another similar . What? Her fault segment here

19:01 here. The displacement was sufficient to through the really ramp and connect these

19:06 false here has not been sufficient. breakthrough and connect up the false.

19:12 actually have a really ramp in between gets through the distinction of a intact

19:24 ramp from a reached relate ramp. here I've got a schematic three D

19:30 of two different, really ramped. , Computer fault one and fall to

19:36 the really ramp is continuous between those you'll see this referred to in the

19:42 as an intact relay round Or or it's referred to as an active rely

19:48 , really around here, the fault through. You still have this folded

19:56 of the football, but the false always go through it Don't completely go

20:01 it. So this is referred to a breach, relate, ran or

20:06 as a passive relay. So this been Oh, this has been broken

20:10 the fault. Connecting through that really on. This is the example talking

20:21 from Arches National. The trail of delicate arch basically comes along here and

20:29 go this up this really ramp and on to give you a delicate arch

20:35 off here fault. A heater thought here sort of tens of meters of

20:41 along each one of these dying out in one case here in the other

20:46 and not breaking through this thing, really ramp and And this this is

20:51 cool example, because you can actually out in and see it in

20:55 Come and see how these faults don't . And what this freely,

20:59 actually does okay in the in our way have examples of breached really

21:12 So here's fault. A Don't be upfront. Any wall cut off here

21:19 line here hanging. We'll cut off , football cut off here in a

21:26 ramp in between. But none of really ramp is actually broken by another

21:32 that intersect being involved A here. this is a breached, uh,

21:40 gonna prevent any communication from fluids from side of the ball to the

21:47 We also have what are termed doubling relays where this really ramp is broken

21:53 both ends so broken on the throne of the up side eso here as

21:59 . So the upkeep side here and inside here with this isolated fault block

22:06 between the two main falls Yeah, . That brings us to the idea

22:15 conservation of throat. And that's the that where we have to faults intersecting

22:22 the blue Falls in the red throat the Red Fault. Here, off

22:27 throw is calling the falls. So maximum throat here on C is equal

22:34 the some off the fall through on in the fall through on B.

22:41 this is this is helpful when we're false and seismic data to understand our

22:49 displacements and, uh, correlation of Well, if I'm certain of the

22:56 displacement here and maybe over here, not over here. Uh, I

23:02 estimate that the throw displacement on being going to be equal to C

23:08 The displacement on a oh on C deep into the some of these

23:13 If I know any two of these the seismic data, I can estimate

23:18 the third one of those is And this is an example of how

23:30 faults show that rule to synthetic normal up thrown on the north started

23:39 thrown on the south side Here. total displacement on fault worn is about

23:46 ft and then it's broken into two falls through about 300 ft in about

23:53 100 ft so that the some of is, uh is consistent that the

24:00 of the parts equals the displacement on throat. So that's for synthetic false

24:09 empathetic, false. Now I've got throwing here on the north side,

24:17 from here on the south side. now this is anti aesthetic. So

24:22 up thrown fault is here on the side, down thrown on the north

24:26 here. And if I have 1000 and 600 ft of displacement here,

24:34 have to have about 400 ft of here. And one way you can

24:41 of this is if you if you this circle, if you start on

24:45 side of the fault, walk walk across money fault, walk across

24:50 second fault and then climb back up fend up where you started so that

24:59 some of these three past the the large displacement on the main

25:09 Now, first it changes again. here's my main fall with 600 ft

25:15 truck here down thrown to the south ft here, down thrown to the

25:24 And on this guy I'm down, to the north. And so if

25:31 take 600 ft, subtract 300 That leaves about 300 ft for off

25:38 fall. So any time I have fault, I can use some of

25:44 displacements, our son to the displacement to mate what the displacement on the

25:50 is. And that's in 17 interpretation more useful for identifying what my what

26:01 horizon like this should be so If I think I've got 600 ft

26:10 , has been here on, and not sure what Horizon is in

26:15 the displacement between these two guys needs be equal about 300 ft, six

26:22 machine. So I can use the to estimate what horizon is president in

26:30 intermediate fault rocks. So let me jump from one side of faulty of

26:36 other. Uh, I contest that make sure that these displacements add up

26:43 , uh, some of what I on the main fall, right scaling

26:54 really ramp conventions. So what I've here is on the X axis,

27:04 transfer throat. So that's that's the that has to be transferred from one

27:12 to the next. So the transfer of this fault represents the throw at

27:17 point. Um, transfer. Throwing fault represents the throw at this

27:23 Overlap length is that distance between the transfer points and so these things sort

27:36 started scale. But between about one , 1 to 10 thio one Thio

27:49 , here to point point 1.9 But it doesn't help me separate intact

27:56 reached ramps. So in the in holiday symbols here I have reached tramps

28:05 you see, they extend the whole a whole swat swat a scatter plot

28:12 I could here, like the reach , they also in the solid

28:17 extend the whole swab off of Even though these air there's some systematics

28:24 this relationship, I can't use them distinguish when I have got a relay

28:37 . All right. We've been talking false segmentation in the horizontal dimension.

28:43 , now false segmentation in the vertical . Remember when we talked about false

28:52 or I talked about being ellipsis, so they have. They have a

28:59 tip line, and they also have vertical tip line. Those were gonna

29:04 up to form through going fault. they're gonna cause it X placement Donald

29:10 going to fall to Very. And shown in the conceptual model here on

29:16 right, Waken started out with four ellipses and with increasing displacement, they

29:27 up vertically as well as a It's worth Donnelly us what profile it's

29:38 have minimum on it there in the . So in the early stages of

29:44 development, once the link up, they're going to decide that Arab the

29:55 . A little time that I talked earlier, a profile of a vertical

30:02 , blood maximum toe, mineral again maximum thio alot to a maximum to

30:10 minimum Over here in the start. what leads us to that is that

30:17 speak a fault. Coming through here of diapers out of that two point

30:24 theater, with the displacement increasing as go down there. But in

30:30 I've just got a folded layer that that separates these two falls vertically in

30:38 interpretation. It would just to blast single fault through there. It's not

30:44 accurate way actually. Have a stone no displacement dinner in the middle of

30:50 fault. Okay, Maria, that another 45 minutes. So we take

31:04 break here so you can download that Snag it. Yes. Thank

31:11 Thank you. That's good. Thank . Okay, that will take about

31:18 five minute break. Your take, ,
