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 …

The past two decades of research on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) seem to have
finally become fruitful as global leaders and energy-intensive industries are cooperating to …

At the 1996 NPF Conference on Hydrocarbon Seals we gave the first presentation of results
of a fault-seal study using the Shale Gouge Ratio algorithm, describing a project undertaken …

Clay smear is a collection of fault processes and resulting fault structures that form when
normal faults deform layered sedimentary sections. These elusive structures have attracted …

Faults in clastic sequences are often significant barriers to single-phase fluid flow and can
act as absolute barriers to the flow of non-wetting phases over geological time. Knowledge …

Faults and associated fracture networks can significantly influence regional flow of
groundwater, hydrocarbons and other fluids. The distribution of CO2 springs and seeps …

Subsurface, intra-reservoir faults have subseismic portions (the fault tail) and process zones
that must be considered for a complete evaluation of their role in a reservoir setting. In this …

Data from faults with core recovery offshore Norway and from outcrops in study areas
onshore demonstrate the development and continuity of smear along large (seismic-scale) …

High-resolution water sorption isotherms were measured on 13 representative mudrock
samples in order to assess the mechanisms of water vapour sorption and their relationship …

Abstract The Calabacillas fault, New Mexico, is an exhumed growth fault that provides
insights on the processes of clay smear formation and the effectiveness of fault seal …
