Petrophysical Properties and Microstructural Analysis of Faulted Heterolithic Packages: A Case Study from Miocene Turbidite Successions, Italy

Figure 6

Permeability across complex faults in different styles of multilayer package. Fault orientation is denoted in right hand rule with red text, whereas bed orientation is in black text: line drawings of (a) the FCE faults, which cut through packages of evenly distributed clay layers, and (b) the FCU faults, which cut through packages with unevenly distributed clay layers; permeability normalized for bed thickness for (c) the FCE fault and (d) the FCU fault; variation of permeability measurements shown in a box and whisker plot, in order to show the high variability across the damage zone in the hanging wall (HW DZ), the fault core between the faults (BTN), and the damage zone of the footwall (FW DZ) in (e) the FCE fault and (f) the FCU fault. Color meaning is denoted in the legend below.
