- Abstract:
- The proposed project is a multi-disciplinary programme aimed at understanding faulting processes in deep marine environment and evaluating the key relationships between fluid flow and hydrocarbon entrapment. Establishment of calibrated predicitve models for fault flow ds key to future discovery, appraisal and economic exploitation of deep marine hydrocarbon resources on ocean margins. The study will contribute significantly to the prediction of fault seal behaviour for well targets located in a range of common deep marine depostional environments and also for the spectrum of structural and burial evolution pathways encountered at ocean margins. The project will generate new databases and advisory systems for evaluating faults.
