3D Upscaling of Fault Damage Zones for Reservoir Modelling

A016 3D UPSCALING OF FAULT DAMAGE ZONES FOR RESERVOIR MODELLING 1 ATTILA Z. VASZI SIMON D. HARRIS AND ROB J. KNIPE Rock Deformation Research School of Earth Sciences University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT UK Abstract The characterisation of the architecture of fault zones where a damage zone around the major slip surface is composed of a complex array of minor faults is only usually achievable via 2D maps or 1D line samples or well logs. In this paper we address issues related to generating a 3D stochastic fault damage zone (FDZ) model that creates realistic fault systems resembling those
