Fractured reservoirs are complex and multi‐scale systems composed of matrix and fractures.
Accordingly, modeling flow in such geological media has been a great challenge. In this …

Longwall coal mining is an economical method for coal extraction that allows most of the
coal to be extracted from a wide rectangular panel. The roof of the working face area is …

A football stadium with a capacity of a hundred thousand spectators is under construction
over a karst terrain, 10 km west of the old town of Istanbul, Turkey. A large cavity of …

A coal mine panel claimed to infringe on a permit boundary, or to create an hazard after
subsidence has been the subject of lawsuits. We study at the Soma–Darkale coalfield …

URTeC 1619745 Fracture density is similar to brittleness and is an important variable for
efficient gas and oil production, particularly from tight reservoirs. GC Sih has pointed out that …

The Anzer glacial valley, at an elevation of over 2300 m in the Eastern Black Sea region of
Turkey, exhibits evidence for a low-temperature hydrothermal system (40-100 C). Low …

Fractures caused by ground subsidence disrupt surface structures, alter hydraulic properties
of rock or soil and may expose shallow aquifers to contamination from the surface …

ABSTRACT A microgravity data set presented in a previous study exhibits distinct short-
wavelength anomalies over a longwall coal mine panel at Soma-Darkale Coalfield …

As production of hydrocarbons from tight reservoirs becomes more prevalent, the need to
understand fracture density and what can affect fracture density has become the goal of new …
