- •
Examined the fault damage zones of two differently oriented contemporaneous fault populations.
- •
The dominant fracture set strikes parallel or sub parallel to the fault.
- •
The fractures in the damage zones are formed by local stress.
- •
Architecture including the widths of the fault damage zones has been established on the basis of fracture density, orientation and spacing collected along the scanlines across the normal faults.
- •
Width of damage zone is larger at the middle of the fault than at the fault ends.
