oa North Oman Fault Geometries in Outcrops, Analogues and Sub-Surface

North Oman offers a rare opportunity for making outcrop observations of faults developed in<br>formations that are also the producing reservoirs in the sub-surface. It is possible to look in great<br>detail at fault geometries and associated fault damage zones, both in map view and cross sections.<br>From these observations it is possible to establish the geometrical rules that will help to build static<br>models and interpret faults on seismic. It is also possible to illustrate the impact of the simplifications<br>which are inherent to the static modelling process and assess whether they are acceptable or not to<br>define the most suitable modelling strategy.
