B10 The Impact of Fault Rocks on Improved Oil Recovery S.M.S. Al-Hinai* (University of Leeds) Q.J. Fisher (University of Leeds) & C. A. Grattoni (University of Leeds) SUMMARY Faults can severely compartmentalize reservoirs which have a significant influence in the profitability as more wells needs to be drilled. Therefore it is important to account for their effects in production simulation models. The advances in fault seal analysis have recently led to dramatic reductions in the time required to achieve a history match of production data. In addition as the history matches are more geologically-reasonable they may prove better for predicting
