The injection and withdrawal wells of underground gas storage (UGS) are prone to
weakening the sealing performance of faults and cementation planes, under multiple rounds …

Abstract The Lower Rhine Graben (LRG) straddling the border zone of Belgium, the
Netherlands, and Germany, is an active tectonic structure in continental northwest Europe. It …

The development of structurally controlled basins is frequently dominated by inherited
geological and tectonic structures, especially when the affected region has undergone …

A widely accepted best-fit stress inversion method is applied on synthetic extensional
heterogeneous fault-slip data generated by two driving Andersonian stress tensors having …

Abstract The Calabrian Arc subduction-rollback system hosts seismogenic faults capable of
generating earthquakes exceeding magnitude 7. Since earthquakes are the result of long …

The injection of water (or CO 2) at high pressure is a common practice to enhance oil
production. A crucial component of this activity is the estimation of the maximum pressure at …

A 3-D method to evaluate the reactivation potential of fault planes is proposed. The method
can be applied to cohesive or noncohesive faults whatever their orientation and without any …

The onshore exposures adjacent to modern, offshore passive continental margins may
preserve evidence of deformation from the pre-, syn-, and post-rift phases of continental …

Abstract An Mw 6.1, devastating earthquake, on April 6, 2009, struck the Middle Aterno
Valley (Abruzzi Apennines, Italy) due to the activation of a poorly known normal fault system …

Fracture (fault) reactivation can lead to dynamic geological hazards including earthquakes,
rock collapses, landslides, and rock bursts. True triaxial compression tests were conducted …
