Orogenic forelands host interactions between deformation and static or migrating fluids. Given their accessibility and dimensions, these areas are not only historic landmarks for …
Abstract More than 2× 10 4 m 3 of water containing additives is commonly injected into a typical horizontal well in gas shale to open fractures and allow gas recovery. Less than half …
Outcrops of the middle Eagle Ford Formation in south-central Texas reveal well-developed joint networks in subhorizontal competent carbonate (chalk) beds and less well developed …
Natural fractures form preferred pathways for basinal fluid flow and associated heat and mass transport. In gas sandstone reservoirs with low matrix permeability, fractures provide …
This study integrates field structural data, petrographic and geochemical (δ 18 O, δ 13 C, Δ 47, 87 Sr/86 Sr, and elemental composition) analyses and U–Pb dating of calcite veins …
In this study, water and whole rock samples from hydraulically fractured wells in the Marcellus Shale (Middle Devonian), and water from conventional wells producing from …
Effective storage and containment of injected fluids, over a range of spatial and temporal scales, is reliant upon the sealing capacity of the lithologies overlying geological stores. Low …
Growing macroscale fold structures are one of the most dynamic and complex systems in geology, where during fold growth pore fluid pressure, fluid temperature, and fluid …
Fracture-hosted porosity and quartz distribution along with crack-seal texture and fluid inclusion assemblage sequences in isolated, bridging quartz deposits show that open …
