Petrel Structural and Fault Analysis

Overview Library

Calculate Fluid Flow Properties and Sealing Potential for Faults

Understanding reservoir juxtapositions and fault properties is critical to accurate well placements and optimal production strategies. Fault seal analysis is also a critical step in prospect generation and field appraisal. The Petrel Structural and Fault Analysis module allows you to perform fault seal analysis faster, more simply, and with greater accuracy and repeatability. This toolset was developed in collaboration with Rock Deformation Research, in Leeds, UK. The module also provides front-line fault juxtaposition and property mapping tools for exploration and production environments.

The Structural and Fault Analysis tools enable

  • identification and mapping of critical high-flow zones or seal continuity areas
  • rapid understanding of the influence of faults and stratigraphic models
  • real-time creation and interaction with faults in the common seismic-to-simulation environment
  • dynamic fault property updating for faster and more accurate history-matching
  • integration of core data to allow calibration and reduce uncertainty
  • uncertainty analysis of fault sealing properties.
