Summary:

As hydrocarbon reserves have become depleted and the oil industry has become more competitive, the need to cut costs by optimizing production and predicting the occurrence of subtle traps has highlighted the importance of information on the way in which faults and fractures affect fluid flow. This volume aims to answer such questions as: are hydrocarbons likely to have migrated into (or out of) the trap?; what is the likely height of hydrocarbons that a fault can support?; is it likely that compartments which have not been produced exist within a field and will therefore require further drilling?
