Although the widths of fault damage zones commonly show a positive correlation with
displacements, these relationships also show a somewhat scattered distribution. We believe …

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 …

The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

断裂带具有典型的二元结构, 即断层核和破碎带. 由于断层核, 破碎带与母岩间的物性具有一定
差异, 断裂在低-非孔隙性岩石和高孔隙性岩石中的表现形式明显不同, 使其对储层物性具有相反 …

Improving the prediction of sub-seismic structures and their petrophysical properties is
essential for realistic characterization of deformed sandstone reservoirs. In the present …

Deformation bands are common subseismic structures in porous sandstones that vary with
respect to deformation mechanisms, geometries and distribution. The amount of cataclasis …

Damage zones of different fault types are investigated in siliciclastics (Utah, USA),
carbonates (Majella Mountain, Italy) and metamorphic rocks (western Norway). The study …

A renewed interest in fault damage zones is aimed at better understanding stress
perturbation around faults, earthquake ground motions and fluid flow in the upper crust. In …

Cracking in quasi-brittle geomaterials is a complex mechanical phenomenon, driven by
various dissipation mechanisms across multiple length scales. While some recent promising …

Fault zones commonly have spatially variable fault rocks and brittle structures. Differing fault-
rock attributes may retard or increase cross-and along-fault permeability. Our work analyzed …
