Over the past couple decades, the understanding of petrophysical parameters in bioturbated
hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers has expanded greatly. Specifically, insights into how …

The ichnogenus Balanoglossites Mägdefrau, 1932 is a common constituent of firmground
ichnofabrics in shallow-marine carbonates of the Middle Triassic Germanic Basin, from …

Bioturbation plays an important role in enhancing the reservoir capacity of tight reservoirs.
This study aims to understand the alteration mechanism and effects of bioturbation on oil …

Subsurface reservoirs with Thalassinoides are well known. Using a CT scan of an 18.5 cm-
diameter core (top cross section, 267.21 cm 2; length, 26.5 cm) with Thalassinoides, this …

Bioturbated carbonate rocks can form high-quality aquifers and reservoirs. Although the
controls on the porosity and permeability of these rocks are fairly understood at the well-bore …

Recent evaluations of burrow connectivity have shown that burrow morphology, abundance,
and size impact the sampling scheme required for faithfully representing permeability in the …

The source and pumping mechanism of magnesium play crucial roles in dolomitization. The
preferential dolomitization of burrows has been extensively documented in geological …

The continuous rise in hydrocarbon demand, the production decline in conventional
oilfields, and the remarkable improvement in extraction methods have allowed the …

Previous research has explored the linkage between bioturbation, porosity, and permeability
in carbonate reservoir rocks. The impact of bioturbation on natural fractures in such rocks …

Organisms alter the primary texture of sediments, leading to alteration in petrophysical
properties mediated by a textural and mineralogical contrast between burrow-fill and …
