Deformation along faults in the shallow crust (< 1 km) introduces permeability heterogeneity
and anisotropy, which has an important impact on processes such as regional groundwater …

This paper presents an overview of the role of structural heterogeneities in hydrocarbon
entrapment, migration and flow. Three common structural heterogeneity types are …

We argue that the observed conduit‐barrier behavior of fault zones in siliciclastic
sedimentary aquifer systems can be understood by considering a strongly anisotropic …

The permeability of the Earth's crust commonly varies over many orders of magnitude. Flow
velocity can range over several orders of magnitude in structures of interest that vary in scale …

Abstract The≈ 40 000 km2 Hungarian Great Plain portion of the Pannonian Basin consists
of a basin fill of 100 m to more than 7000 m thick semi‐to unconsolidated marine, deltaic …

Realistic simulation of structurally complex reservoirs (SCR) is challenging in at least three
ways:(1) geological structures must be represented and discretized accurately on vastly …

The distribution of flow within conductive joint sets is influenced by the geometric
arrangement of joints and the hydraulic properties of both joints and matrix. We use finite …

Water flooding of fractured reservoirs is risky because water breakthrough can occur early,
leading to a prohibitively high water cut. In mixed or oil-wet carbonates, capillary drive is …

Biogenic or microbial methane has an increasing share in the global gas resource base,
though its exploration still faces challenges and welcomes innovations. Critical elements of …

The microscale mechanisms of hydrocarbons movement along faults and fault zones, the
potential carriers of hydrocarbons toward the productive geological traps, remain largely …
