Many of the earliest laboratory studies of the brittle-ductile transition were on porous rocks,
with a focus on the evolution of failure mode from brittle faulting to cataclastic flow with …

Limestone microporosity is ubiquitous and extensively developed in most Phanerozoic
limestones. From an economic perspective, microporosity is important because it contributes …

Carbonate rocks commonly contain a variety of pore types that can vary in size over several
orders of magnitude. Traditional pore-type classifications describe these pore structures but …

The analysis of compactant failure in carbonate formations hinges upon a fundamental
understanding of the mechanics of inelastic compaction. Microstructural observations …

In order to investigate the effects of fluid and frequency on the elastic properties, we
performed hydrostatic experiments on an Icelandic basalt specimen under both dry and …

Rock-physics templates establish a link between seismic properties (eg, velocity, density,
impedance, and attenuation) and reservoir properties such as porosity, fluid saturation …

The pore system in carbonates is complicated because of the associated biological and
chemical activity. Secondary porosity, on the other hand, is the result of chemical reactions …

We investigated the effect of porosity, pore geometry, and diagenetic history on the elastic
properties of dry, tightly cemented grainstones whose pore space consists dominantly of …

This integrated study provides significant insight into parameters controlling the acoustic and
reservoir properties of microporous limestones, improving the knowledge of the …

Identifying the mechanisms that control the formation of compaction bands is of high interest
in reservoir mechanics since these structures may drastically affect the performance of …
