Fault System Analysis Using a New Interpretation Paradigm

Abstract

B-31 FAULT SYSTEM ANALYSIS USING A NEW INTERPRETATION PARADIGM Abstract 1 Based on two field examples from offshore Mid Norway a new fault interpretation paradigm is presented. The paradigm allows the user to apply principles from structural geology to analyze fault systems and it reduces significantly the subjectivity inherent in manual interpretation. This is especially valuable for the main data example presented which is structurally complex area with a dense network of faults. The final analyzed result from this data set is considered as a detailed and a reasonable objective 3D fault interpretation. Introduction T. SKOV 1 S. I. PEDERSEN
