Fault Seal Triangle for Petrel®

Fault Seal Triangle allows you to conduct simple, fast and efficient fault seal analysis using any well within your Petrel® project.

Test the seal capacity of a bounding fault within a given throw range by assessing if:
a) there are effective juxtaposition seals present and
b) whether viable hydrocarbon columns can be supported where the reservoir is not juxtaposed against an impermeable layer.

Key Features:

Integrated within Petrel®
Fault Seal Triangle is fully integrated into the Petrel® system allowing it to have full access to all well data held within you project. This means that the full power of T7's Triangle analysis is available within a few clicks, without the need to transfer data between different software packages.

Fast & Efficient
An intuitive design coupled with an optimised calculation engine means models can be set-up and run quickly.

Easy To Use
Designed for all geoscientists who require a fast assessment of the sealing capacity of a fault without the requirement for building a 3D model.

Fault Seal Analysis
Use well curve data (e.g. Vshale) to calculate the sealing capacity of a fault as a function of throw by calculating Shale Gouge Ratio (the industry standard algorithm, originated by Badleys) and converting to maximum trappable hydrocarbon column heights.

Corrections for Fluid Densities and Burial History
Correct trappable column heights for variations in expected hydrocarbon densities and geohistory (e.g. post-faulting uplift or burial).

Unique Functionality
Fault Seal Triangle introduces for the first time a geometrically-correct assessment of fault seal in growth sequences.

Fault Seal Triangle calculates many of the same fault seal attributes as T7, including:

  • Shale-Gouge Ratio (Discrete / Continuous Modes)
  • Clay Smear Potential (Shell / Yielding Methods)
  • Shale Smear Factor
  • Threshold Capillary Pressure (Bretan, Sperrevik / Yielding)
  • Maximum Supportable Hydrocarbon Column Heights (Bretan, Sperrevik / Yielding)
  • Fault Zone Permeability (Manzocchi / Sperrevik)
  • Transmissibility Multipliers (Manzocchi / Sperrevik)
  • CO2 Related Parameters
