Review of Identification, Characterization and Modeling of different types of Fault & Fracture Systems in a Giant Offshore Carbonate Reservoir, UAE

Abstract

Abstract The subject field of this study is a geologically complex Lower Cretaceous carbonate system of stacked reservoirs and dense seals, which have been affected by extreme diagenetic modification, including various types of faults & fractures. The purpose of this paper is to summarize several years of comprehensive study of identification, characterization and modeling of different fault/fracture systems within the reservoir stack, integrating different data types, conceptual models and …
