Overview of Challenge

...

5

...

What is the nature of the challenge? (What is not adequately addressed at present?)

...

Natural fault lines - Fault line reactivation can alter the draw down efficiency of reservoirs. This reactivation could be a help, or a hindrance. As a hindrance, for example, the hydrocarbons can escape along a newly exposed fault plane, the fault plane can result in the reservoir losing pressure or communication can be lost between reservoir compartments. Geologists need data to assess the extent of fault reactivation to better manage reservoirs, in hand with other data (such as seismic maps)

...

Nature of the challenge - What effect does this challenge have on operations?

...

Reservoir management needs to be tailored to account for fault re-activation. Effects can be losses in production and wasted costs on pressure maintenance from injection wells.

...

...

What do you currently do to address this challenge?/ How is this challenge conventionally addressed?

...

Micro-seismics can indicate where fault lines lie, but do not give detailed information on fault movement

...

 

...

 

...

 

...

 

...

9

...

What kind of solution do you envisage could address this challenge?

...

Ground movement satellite imagery could indicate fault reactivation over known and unknown fault-lines.

...

 

...

...

What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? – are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not?

...

EO could be a useful complimentary technology
