FSP is a tool developed to screen faults near injection wells and estimate the potential for fault slip induced by fluid injection. It uses probabilistic methods to estimate the cumulative probability of a fault slipping due to increased pore pressure.
- Probabilistic and Deterministic Models: FSP provides both deterministic and Monte Carlo probabilistic approaches for estimating fault slip.
- Input Parameters: Supports input of fault strike, dip, well locations, injection rates, hydrologic parameters, and mechanical stress state parameters.
- Hydrology Model: Includes a simplified radial flow hydrology model, allowing users to relate injection to pore pressure changes.
- Monte Carlo Simulations: Uses Monte Carlo analysis to calculate probabilities of fault slip as a function of pore pressure increase.
- Mohr-Coulomb Slip Criteria: FSP calculates pore pressure to slip on each fault using deterministic geomechanical modeling.
- Monte Carlo Analysis: Probabilistic simulations are run to yield the probability of each fault slipping, considering uncertainties in input parameters.
- Hydrology Model: The hydrology model assesses specific injection scenarios, providing pore pressure changes to be used in the fault slip analysis.
- Results: FSP produces visual outputs including Mohr diagrams, fault maps, and cumulative distribution functions (CDF) of fault slip probability.
FSP 2.0 requires a 64-bit Windows machine and the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) version 8.0. which is included in the download folder.
What's included in this download:
-
This README file
-
FSP_User_Guide.pdf, the code documentation
-
MatlabCompilerRuntime_windows64Bit_installer.exe, the installer for MATLAB compiler runtime: install this on your 64 bit windows machine to be able to run the FSP program.
-
FaultSlipPotential_2.0.exe , The FSP program, double click after MCR is installed.
-
Folder with 3 example data formatted files, for if you want to load your own faults, wells or pressure models into the FSP program, format them like these 3 files.
MCR is can also be downloaded separately from the Mathworks website.
- Install the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR).
- Run the
FaultSlipPotential_2.0.exefile to launch the application.
