Fault Reactivation Risk

This is a new two-day hands-on training course that teaches users how to apply the advanced functionality in TrapTester for evaluating fault reactivation risk. It covers concepts such as geomechanics and will use the StressTester module.

The techniques and methods described in this course are also important for faulted reservoirs which are under investigation for possible carbon storage. A quantitative assessment of the likely mechanical behaviour of the faults within a CO2 storage reservoir is of paramount importance as faults which are prone to reactivate may act as potential escape routes for the CO2.

Course Overview:

	Fault Framework	Techniques and methods are illustrated to enable you construct a geologically-robust faulted framework model. Data import and interpretation are described, along with the main data editing tools and modelling parameters.
	Controls on fault reactivation	Factors influencing fault reactivation, such as in-situ stress orientations and magnitudes, are discussed, leading to a geologically-driven route to the calculation of fault reactivation risk.
	Case studies	Case Studies are presented to show the value of implementing these new methods.

Who should attend?:
		The course is especially designed for Geoscientists & Explorationists who require additional quantitative information regarding the mechanical integrity of faults, leading to a more complete fault-seal risk assessment. Some experience of TrapTester is preferred but is not essential.

When, Where and How Much?:
	When and Where?	The course can be in your offices or ours, for groups or individuals. The charges for the course will depend on the location, duration and number of people involved.
