Possible absence of small faults in the Gullfaks Field, northern North Sea: implications for downscaling of faults in some porous sandstones

Grain size and permeability evolution of soft-sediment extensional sub-seismic and seismic fault zones in high-porosity sediments from the Crotone basin, southern Apennines, Italy

“…Childs et al, 2009). A positive correlation of fault damage zone width and fault throw has been found in sandstone at low burial depth by Fossen and Hesthammer (2000) and in high-porosity sandstones by Shipton and Cowie (2001). Shipton and Cowie (2001) report that damage zone thickness is approximately 2.5 times the total fault displacement and fault zone thickening follows a linear increase.…”

Scaling of fault attributes: A review

“…8; Beach Fossen and Hesthammer, 2000;Shipton and Cowie, 2001;Tveranger et al, 2008;Childs et al, 2009). A detailed study of damage zones in the Navajo Sandstone, Utah, has revealed that the width of the damage zone is approximately 2.5 times the total fault throw ( Fig.…”

Structural heterogeneity and permeability in faulted eolian sandstone: Implications for subsurface modeling of faults

“…The Chimney Rock fault array is, therefore, an excellent analog for similar faults in faulted sandstone reservoirs (i.e., Gibson, 1994;Antonellini et al, 1999;Fossen and Hesthammer, 2000). The Chimney Rock faults intersect to create oil field-scale compartments of relatively undeformed host rock in the Navajo Sandstone (Krantz, 1988).…”
