This study uses a 3D exposure of a fault zone in the Rio do Peixe Basin (NE Brazil) to
investigate the impact of deformation band connection on permeability in porous …

Analyzing the factors that affect the fault damage zone parameters and the impact of
deformation on host rock permeability is fundamental for predicting the fluid flow behavior in …

The width of fault damage zones is usually assessed through scaling relationships using
fault displacements measured from outcrops. However, field data show a large dispersion …

Hydrothermal silicification and deformation bands influence the physical properties of
porous siliciclastic rocks. However, the impacts generated by the coexistence of these two …

Seismic interpretation is crucial for identifying faults, fluid concentrations, and flow migration
pathways in the oil and gas industry. Algorithms have been developed to identify faults using …

Fault zones in porous siliciclastic rocks can be dominated by deformation bands (DBs),
which are small-scale tabular structures that usually occur as cluster features. DBs can …

Spatial organization of strain-hardening zones and the adjacent damage zones associated
with faulting of porous siliciclastic rocks influence the across-strike variation of …

Clusters of deformation bands associated with fault damage zones modify the petrophysical
properties of rocks and influence fluid migration. Many works discuss the influence of …

We construct a new three-scale model for single phase incompressible flow in faulted rocks
containing multiple damage zones. At the finer scale (O (1m)), flow is influenced by the high …

Deformation bands can influence fluid flow within reservoirs, mainly acting as flow barriers.
This study aims to characterize deformation bands and evaluate the influence of these …
