The Study of the Thrust Fault

Abstract:

The thrust fault plays an important role in the migration of oil and gas, etc. It can either block the oil and gas lateral migration, or become a good migration pathway. In order to have a more intuitive observation on forming process and study on the vital influential factors of it, the thick and extrusion stress of layers, such as laboratory with special designed experiment deviced by changing the above factors in the thrust fault structure formed by physical simulation experiments. The results show that the thrust fault formed in the basement, near the surrounding fold and associated fractures are associated with development, to a large extent influence the oil and gas migrate and storage. In this experiment, we simulated the process of thrust faults formed visually, providing a basis for predicting the observation analysis and associated folds and associated fracture development and distribution.
