Architectural characteristics and petrophysical properties evolution of a strike-slip fault zone in a fractured porous carbonate reservoir

► Strong coupling between diagenetic history, host rock properties and the current fault zone properties. ► Variations of the rock strength induce various strain accommodation mechanisms. ► Fault architecture displays large thickness variations. ► Damage zone composed by an alternation of permeable-low-stiff and low-permeable-high-stiff layers.
