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 …

Deformation bands are the most common strain localization feature found in deformed
porous sandstones and sediments, including Quaternary deposits, soft gravity slides and …

Mechanical stratigraphy encompasses the mechanical properties, thicknesses, and interface
properties of rock units. Although mechanical stratigraphy often relates directly to …

Faults can be either conduits or retarders for fluid flow. As the presence of faults increases
the risks for hydrocarbon exploration, the sealing behaviour of a fault zone has been a focus …

We present a conceptual model to explain the development of damage zones around faults
in high-porosity sandstones. Damage zone deformation has been particularly well …

We argue that the observed conduit‐barrier behavior of fault zones in siliciclastic
sedimentary aquifer systems can be understood by considering a strongly anisotropic …

Outcrop data has been used to examine the spatial arrangement of fractures in the damage
zones of a segment of the large-scale Moab Fault (45km in length), SE Utah. The …

Abstract The Sand Hill fault is a steeply dipping, large-displacement normal fault that cuts
poorly lithified Tertiary sediments of the Albuquerque basin, New Mexico, United States. The …

At the 1996 NPF Conference on Hydrocarbon Seals we gave the first presentation of results
of a fault-seal study using the Shale Gouge Ratio algorithm, describing a project undertaken …
