Summary:

Faults commonly trap fluids such as hydrocarbons & water & therefore are of economic significance. During hydrocarbon field development, smaller faults can provide baffles &/or conduits to flow. There are relatively simple, well established workflows to carry out a fault seal analysis for siliciclastic rocks based primarily on clay content. There are, however, outstanding challenges related to other rock types, to calibrating fault seal models (with static & dynamic data) & to handling uncertainty. The variety of studies presented here demonstrate the types of data required & workflows followed in today's environment in order to understand the uncertainties, risks & upsides associated with fault-related fluid flow. These studies span all parts of the hydrocarbon value chain from exploration to production but are also of relevance for other industries such as radioactive waste & CO2 containment.
