Geothermal reservoirs are highly anisotropic and heterogeneous, and thus require a variety
of structural geology, geomechanical, remote sensing, geophysical and hydraulic …

Using examples of regional opening-mode fractures in sandstones from the Cambrian
Flathead Formation, Wyoming, we show that quartz deposits preferentially fill fractures up to …

Geological carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical technology for mitigating
greenhouse gas emissions, but the risk of leakage remains a significant concern. Fault and …

The presence of rock discontinuities significantly affects the strength, permeability, and
stability of rock masses, so it is crucial to characterize them accurately and efficiently …

Fractures in a network are commonly divided into “sets” to facilitate their description and
analysis. Sets can be based on many different criteria that include the type, geometry, size …

The multiscale analysis of lineament patterns helps define the geometric scaling laws and
the relationships between outcrop-and regional-scale structures in a fracture network. Here …

Multi-scale fracture characterisation in reservoir analogues is crucial for determining
orientation clustering, length scaling laws, abundance, and topology of the fracture network …

The Lilstock outcrop in the southern Bristol Channel provides exceptional exposures of
several limestone beds displaying stratabound fracture networks, providing the opportunity …

Topological analysis of networks of linear features has recently gained popularity in
structural geology, as it provides a robust system of fracture network characterisation with …
