Abstract

Predicting the sealing capacity of faults and caprocks has been a long-standing uncertainty for those involved in the exploration, appraisal and development of petroleum reservoirs. In more recent years, interest in the topic has increased in a wide range of other applications, particularly those related to the decarbonization of our energy supply such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), radioactive waste disposal, geothermal energy production and underground energy storage (e.g. compressed air, hydrogen). Knowledge of how faults impact fluid flow is also important for management of drinking water supplies. To communicate new advances in research in these areas, the EAGE organized the first international conference on Fault and Top Seals in 2003. These conferences have continued to be held at roughly 4 yearly intervals and have brought together scientists from a wide range of disciplines to discuss new research findings and workflows relevant to predicting fault and top seal behaviour, as well as presenting case studies covering both successful and unsuccessful attempts to predict sealing capacity. Thematic collection: This article is part of the Fault and top seals collection available at: https://www.lyellcollection.org/cc/fault-and-top-seals-2019

断层和顶部印章专题集：透视

预测断层和盖层的封闭能力一直是参与油气藏勘探、评价和开发的人员的不确定性。近年来，人们对该主题的兴趣在广泛的其他应用中增加，特别是与我们的能源供应脱碳有关的应用，如碳捕获和储存（CCS）、放射性废物处理、地热能生产和地下储能（如压缩空气、氢气）。了解断层如何影响流体流动对饮用水供应管理也很重要。为了交流这些领域研究的新进展，EAGE于2003年组织了第一次断层和顶部密封件国际会议。这些会议继续每大约4年举行一次，汇集了来自各个学科的科学家，讨论与预测断层和顶部密封行为相关的新研究发现和工作流程，并介绍了预测密封能力的成功和失败尝试的案例研究。专题收藏：本文是断层和顶部印章收藏的一部分，可在：https://www.lyellcollection.org/cc/fault-and-top-seals-2019

期刊介绍： Petroleum Geoscience is the international journal of geoenergy and applied earth science, and is co-owned by the Geological Society of London and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE). Petroleum Geoscience transcends disciplinary boundaries and publishes a balanced mix of articles covering exploration, exploitation, appraisal, development and enhancement of sub-surface hydrocarbon resources and carbon repositories. The integration of disciplines in an applied context, whether for fluid production, carbon storage or related geoenergy applications, is a particular strength of the journal. Articles on enhancing exploration efficiency, lowering technological and environmental risk, and improving hydrocarbon recovery communicate the latest developments in sub-surface geoscience to a wide readership. Petroleum Geoscience provides a multidisciplinary forum for those engaged in the science and technology of the rock-related sub-surface disciplines. The journal reaches some 8000 individual subscribers, and a further 1100 institutional subscriptions provide global access to readers including geologists, geophysicists, petroleum and reservoir engineers, petrophysicists and geochemists in both academia and industry. The journal aims to share knowledge of reservoir geoscience and to reflect the international nature of its development.
