Orogenic forelands host interactions between deformation and static or migrating fluids.
Given their accessibility and dimensions, these areas are not only historic landmarks for …

Ascending hydrothermal fluid flow and subsequent hypogene karstification can control the
formation of high-permeability zones in folded or faulted carbonate rocks. This study …

Caves developed in carbonate units have a significant role in fluid flow, but most of these
subsurface voids are below seismic resolution. We concentrated our study on four caves to …

Fault zones can often display a complex internal structure associated with antithetic faults,
branch and tip points, bed rotations, bed-parallel slip surfaces, and subordinate synthetic …

Depositional and diagenetic processes profoundly control the structural evolution of shallow-
water carbonates through time. We focus on the Lower Jurassic platform carbonates …

The control of normal fault growth by preexisting basement structures is still a worldwide
matter of debate. The objectives of the present study are (i) to investigate where rift faults …

Fracture stratigraphy study for a subsurface sedimentary rock sequence can be a
challenging and demanding task. Typically, the data obtained from seismic and well-logs …

Identifying geothermal reservoir rock types is fundamental in geothermal exploration, but the
absence of active surface geothermal manifestations (especially hot springs) in blind …

Hydrothermal silicification and deformation bands influence the physical properties of
porous siliciclastic rocks. However, the impacts generated by the coexistence of these two …

Fractured and karstified carbonate units are key exploration targets for the hydrocarbon
industry as they represent important reservoirs. Furthermore, large water reserves and …
