Deformation along faults in the shallow crust (< 1 km) introduces permeability heterogeneity
and anisotropy, which has an important impact on processes such as regional groundwater …

Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust. They
control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of …

Deformation bands are the most common strain localization feature found in deformed
porous sandstones and sediments, including Quaternary deposits, soft gravity slides and …

The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

We investigate the development of fracture distributions as a function of displacement to
determine whether damage around small and large faults is governed by the same process …

The present paper reviews our current understanding of fault dimensions and their scaling
laws, with special focus on faults in siliciclastic rocks. The aim is to provide a comprehensive …

Deformation bands represent a common type of strain localization in deformed porous
sandstones and occur as single structures, as clusters, and in fault damage zones. They …

The concept of fault facies is a novel approach to fault description adapted to three-
dimensional reservoir modeling purposes. Faults are considered strained volumes of rock …

Deformation bands form in porous granular rocks by localized inelastic yielding that is well
described by a modified Cam cap model. All five kinematic varieties of bands observed in …

Faults can severely compartmentalize pressures and fluids in producing reservoirs, and it is
therefore important to take these effects into account when modelling field production …
