Although the widths of fault damage zones commonly show a positive correlation with
displacements, these relationships also show a somewhat scattered distribution. We believe …

Structurally controlled hydrothermal dolomite (HTD) reservoir facies and associated
productive leached limestones are major hydrocarbon producers in North America and are …

The thicknesses of fault rock and fault zones and the fault normal separations for breached
and intact relay zones each show a positive correlation with fault displacement. The …

Uncertainty in the interpretation of geological data is an inherent element of geology.
Datasets from different sources: remotely sensed seismic imagery, field data and borehole …

Carbonate oil reservoirs are sometimes regarded with apprehension in the petroleum
industry since it can be difficult to predict the quality of, and ensure high recovery factors …

Faults can be either conduits or retarders for fluid flow. As the presence of faults increases
the risks for hydrocarbon exploration, the sealing behaviour of a fault zone has been a focus …

Damage zones have previously been classified in terms of their positions at fault tips, walls
or areas of linkage, with the latter being described in terms of sub-parallel and …

Damage zones of different fault types are investigated in siliciclastics (Utah, USA),
carbonates (Majella Mountain, Italy) and metamorphic rocks (western Norway). The study …

The structural evolution of cataclastic fault cores from nucleation to growth was studied for
the case of normal fault zones affecting high-porosity carbonates in the Hyblean Plateau …

Deep fluids play active roles during the preparatory phases of large earthquakes and,
through their chemical signature, carry information about deep processes within the …
