Permeability imposed in the numerical models of the parametric study. The alpha angle corresponds to the dip of the fault zone (here α = 90°). The permeability of the basement and fault will decrease with depth according to Eq. 6 (Garibaldi et al. 2010). Within the fault zone, permeability will also vary laterally (Eq. 7) to match field observations
