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 …

Symmetric structures in ductile shear zones range widely in shapes and geneses. Matrix
rheology, its flow pattern, its competency contrast with the clast, degree of slip of the clast …

Fault damage zones in porous sandstones commonly exhibit networks of deformation bands
reflecting crushing and reorganization of grains associated with small-scale, localized …

Deformation bands may show permeabilities that are a few orders of magnitude lower than
the surrounding host rocks and therefore have a negative impact on fluid flow in sandstone …

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 …

Deformation bands significantly alter the local petrophysical properties of sandstone
reservoirs, although it is not known how the intrinsically variable characteristics of …

Well-exposed normal fault networks in the Plio-Quaternary sedimentary series of the Zanjan
Depression, Iran, were studied in order to analyse the spatial relationships and evolution of …

Fault-seal analysis in sand-shale multilayers emphasises the role of shale smear without
explicitly accounting for cataclasis. These processes produce low-permeability fault rock and …

Abstract The Otway Basin in the south of Victoria, Australia underwent three phases of
deformation during breakup of the southern Australian margin. We assess the geometry and …

Processes related to silicification, fracturing and steam venting of the major Botucatu
paleoerg are significant for the understanding of geological relationships in the Early …
