High Resolution Faults

MPath supports fault properties derived from Badleys TrapTester and triangulated surfaces modeled in other packages, such as Gocad, by mapping fault attributes (e.g., shale gouge ratio) to petrophysical parameters (e.g., capillary threshold pressures), without any loss of resolution or detail to the source faults. Using MPath's risking tools, the influence of fault properties on hydrocarbon migration and accumulation can then be easily assessed.

Several TrapTester faults inside an MPath model. Fault geometries and properties are modeled at their full input resolution.
