Traps, Faults and Fracture Geometries in Strike-Slip Tectonics (GEO76)
Description
Detailed kinematic analyses will identify and characterise structural traps, fault networks, and fracture systems formed under combined extensional and compressional strike-slip stress regime. Additionally, the course offers insights into the dynamic behaviour of fracture systems and their impact on reservoir performance throughout the entire reservoir life cycle - from exploration and drilling to production and field development.
Case studies will provide a blend of integrated fundamental structural geology analyses, and practical exercises for effective learning.
Course Level: Advanced
Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Manhal Sirat
