Over the past couple decades, the understanding of petrophysical parameters in bioturbated
hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers has expanded greatly. Specifically, insights into how …

Exhumed early rift alluvial fan and braided fluvial fan systems are rare and consequently
understanding facies distribution, stratal architecture, reservoir connectivity, and controls on …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry and high-pressure mercury intrusion
(HPMI) are substantially utilized techniques to characterize the inherent heterogeneity of …

Bioturbation plays an important role in enhancing the reservoir capacity of tight reservoirs.
This study aims to understand the alteration mechanism and effects of bioturbation on oil …

The issue of hydraulic fracturing in the onshore Karoo Basin has triggered an intense
political, social and environmental debate in South Africa. This research paper proposes the …

High-permeability zones (HPZ) are common occurrences in carbonate reservoirs of the
Middle East and act to improve productivity in primary depletion but lead to water …

Heterolithic thin beds reservoirs contain significant amounts of hydrocarbons. We
characterized the reservoir properties (sandstone connectivity, continuity and permeability) …

The bioturbated horizons identified from Member Two of the Paleocene Funing Formation (E
1 f 2) in the **hu sag, have not been previously assessed to ascertain their influence on …

The continuous rise in hydrocarbon demand, the production decline in conventional
oilfields, and the remarkable improvement in extraction methods have allowed the …

Many of the world's productive Jurassic reservoirs are intensively bioturbated, including the
sediments of the Upper Jurassic Hanifa Formation. Hydrocarbon exploration and production …
