Normal faults:If one block moves down ward relative
to the other block is called normal fault. This
formation is caused by the extensional stress. If H.Cs
are migrate in the reservoir rock due to the
extensional stress fault is create. Due to this reservoir
rock may be blocked by an impermeable material.
H.Cs migrating through the reservoir rock is trapped
at the place of confrontation.
Reverses faults:If one block of rock is move upward
relative to the other block is called reverse fault.
This formation is caused by the extensional stress. If
H.Cs are migrate in the reservoir rock due to the
extensional stress fault is create. Due to this reservoir
rock may be blocked by an impermeable material.
H.Cs migrating through the reservoir rock is trapped
at the place of confrontation. In this type of faults the
angle is <45 degree.
02) Strike slip fault:In this type of fault the movement of
block is horizontal.
03) Oblique faults:It is the combination of strike slip
fault and dip slip faults.
FOLD TRAPS:
A fold can be defined as a
bout in a rock that is the response to
compressional forces. Fold are most visible
in the rock that contain layering is called
