Subfig (a) shows the conceptual model of the major permeable fault system in Jentse. By fault dragging, the beds rotated to be parallel to the fault system. The metasandstone within the fault system tend to break into rock fragments. The slates tend to develop fracture planes. Subfig (b) shows the orientation and width of the fault system. The areas between the two blue and red dashed lines are the possible location of the fault system at 1000 and 1500 m below wellpad, respectively (the elevation of the well pad is 550 m above sea level). The fault system shifts to the northwest from shallow to deep. The conceptual locations of blue and red areas in subfig (b) are also showed in subfig (a)
