Sandstone intrusions along different types of faults and their effect on fluid flow in siliciclastic reservoirs

The principle aim of this paper is to document well-preserved field examples of sandstone-filled faults in order to raise awareness of these poorly understood structures, and discuss their potential as fault seals within injection-prone, multilayered siliciclastic reservoirs. To achieve this goal, we have undertaken a detailed field survey in the Panoche and Tumey hills in Central California, which allowed us to recognize numerous faults filled...
