Quartz is considered one of the less soluble minerals of the Earth's crust, and thus hardly
affected by chemical weathering. Despite this, for more than forty years, it is clear that the …

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 …

Using examples from core studies, this article shows that separate identification of
mechanical stratigraphy and fracture stratigraphy leads to a clearer understanding of …

Structural diagenesis is the study of the relationships between deformation or deformational
structures and chemical changes to sediments. The alliance of structural geology and …

A multidisciplinary approach has been applied to characterize the Madison Formation in the
Sheep Mountain anticline at different scales, in order to illustrate the relationship between …

Through-going joints cutting across beds are often invoked to match large-scale
permeability patterns in tight carbonate reservoirs. However, despite the importance of these …

The development of innovative techniques and concepts, and the emergence of new plays
in carbonate rocks are creating a resurgence of oil and gas discoveries worldwide. The …

Outcrop studies reveal a common occurrence of tabular zones of significantly‐increased
fracture intensity affecting otherwise well‐lithified rocks. These zones, called fracture …

Outcrop studies are essential for understanding subsurface fractures, because some key
attributes such as length and height distribution cannot be measured using wellbores …

Fracture surveys were conducted across a broad anticline in southern Israel in order to
investigate the development and geometries of throughgoing fractures in layered carbonate …
