Dedicated to the memory of my beloved mother Emma Guzman and mysister Aura E. Florez-Guzman. AcknowledgmentsI would like to express my sincere appreciation for my advisor, Professor Mary F. Wheeler. She practically brought me from Venezuela for giving me the opportunity to attend graduate school at US. This ultimately opened new avenues to insert myself successfully in a country with a different language and culture. I will always appreciate this opportunity. She introduced me to topics such as mixed finite elements, discontinuous Galerkin schemes, domain decomposition and mortar methods. I am also thankful for her financial support, enthusiasm, and persistence on pursuing cutting-edge research.

“…Increasing interest in production from fault-compartmentalized reservoirs (e.g., Gibson, 1994;Welbon et al, 1997;Fisher and Knipe, 1998;Hurlow, 1998;Ottesen Ellevset et al, 1998) and in drilling through fault zones (Santarelli et al, 1992) indicates that borehole-scale studies of fault properties and fault structure are necessary to quantify the in-situ permeability structure of faults. Of particular interest are the properties and extent of subseismic faults, typically those faults that have displacements less than 8-10 m that cannot easily be resolved using most seismic reflection techniques.…”

“…In the light of new data, drilling practices which were planned during appraisal drilling phase were continued with necessary modifications. Santarelli et al (1992) presented a case study of drilling in highly fractured volcanic rocks at great depths. Use of OBM did not solve the problem since the instability was not due to clay.…”
