TLDR
In this paper, the role of structural heterogeneity in hydrocarbon entrapment, migration and flow is discussed and three common structural heterogeneity types are considered: dilatant fractures (joints, veins, and dikes); contraction/compaction structures (solution seams and compaction bands); and shear fractures (faults).About:

Crack Coalescence in Molded Gypsum and Carrara Marble: Part 1. Macroscopic Observations and Interpretation
TL;DR: In this paper, a high speed video system was used, which allowed us to precisely observe the cracking mechanisms and identified nine crack coalescence categories with different crack types and trajectories.

Time-dependent land uplift and subsidence in the Santa Clara valley, California, from a large interferometric synthetic aperture radar data set
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors invert 115 differential interferograms derived from 47 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) scenes for a time-dependent deformation signal in the Santa Clara valley, California.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fault zone hydrogeology
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current multi-disciplinary understanding of fault zone hydrogeology is presented, where surface-and subsurface observations from different types of rock types from unlithified and lithified clastic sediments through to carbonate, crystalline, and volcanic rocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seal bypass systems
TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretational framework for the analysis of a diverse set of geological structures that breach sealing sequences and allow fluids to flow vertically or subvertically across the seal.
Book
Rock Fractures in Geological Processes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine results from fracture mechanics, materials science, rock mechanics, structural geology, hydrogeology, and fluid mechanics to explore and explain fracture processes and fluid transport in the crust.

The Behavior of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
J.E. Warren,P.J. Root +1 more
TL;DR: Enginsera et al. as discussed by the authors proposed an idealized model for the purpose of studying the characteristic behavior of a permeable medium which contains regions which contribute significantly to the pore volume of the system but contribute negligibly to the flow capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fault zone architecture and permeability structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed qualitative and quantitative schemes for evaluating fault-related permeability structures by using results of field investigations, laboratory permeability measurements, and numerical models offlow within and near fault zones.

Mechanics of Hydraulic Fracturing
M. King Hubbert,David G. Willis +1 more
TL;DR: A theoretical examination of the fracturing of rocks by means of pressure applied in boreholes leads to the conclusion that, regardless of whether the fracturing fluid is of the penetrating or non-penetrating type, the fractures produced should be approximately perpendicular to the axis of least stress as mentioned in this paper.
