Abstract

Summary

First results highlight the presence of three natural fracture sets trending WNW, NNW and ENE ( Fig. 2 ). These observed sets seem to be associated with Alpine I (set 1 and 2) and Alpine II (set 3). We presume that the underlying salt diapirism reactivates and reworks the pre-existing natural fracture sets. Natural fracture Considering the complex tectonic history in the area and that fracture formation can be influenced and overprinted by different controls (e.g. burial), an analysis of topological relations in Jebel Madar will be beneficial to resolve the interaction between different deformation phases across the different Cretaceous formations. Preliminary results from DOMs analyses allow us to quantify distinct fracture properties (i.e., P21), we want to expand this analysis and compute fracture intensities, topological relationships, and fracture sets along the entire study area. Moreover, we will analyse the variability of fracture network respect to fault location ( ). This dataset will allow the implementation of DFN models that preserve the jebel’s true structural geology and complexity.
