Abstract:Fracture networks play a critical role in fluid flow within reservoirs, and it is therefore important to understand the interactions and influences of these networks. Our study focuses on the Southern Chotts–Jeffara Basin, which hosts reservoirs within Triassic, Permian and Ordovician units containing significant hydrocarbon accumulations. Recent developments on the structural understanding of the basin have proved that a regional shortening phase occurred between the Permian and Jurassic, forming open folds a… Show more
