Orogenic forelands host interactions between deformation and static or migrating fluids.
Given their accessibility and dimensions, these areas are not only historic landmarks for …

Many carbonate reservoirs containing significant hydrocarbon resources are characterized
by complex pore structures and, as a result, heterogeneous distributions of fluids in their …

An improved grain-based numerical manifold method (NMM) is developed to investigate
deformation and damage of intact rocks at the meso‑scale. The grain boundaries are …

In geothermal reservoir systems, changes in pore pressure due to production (depletion),
injection or temperature changes result in a displacement of the effective stresses acting on …

Saltwater intrusion is often occurring in coastal regions, and can substantially alter the
chemical properties of groundwater. Thus, the micro-processes of mineral precipitation and …

An understanding of how CO2 foam flows through a reservoir rock is useful for many
subsurface applications, including enhanced oil recovery and CO2 storage. There are …

The complex structure of carbonate reservoirs significantly impacts the development of oil
reservoirs. Most published studies focus on void systems in sandstones and shales, while …

The elastic properties of rocks depend on the mineral constituents, pore structure, saturating
fluids, and stress (loading) conditions. To study these properties, we measured ultrasonic P …

Detection of pore types and diagenetic features from seismic data is a major challenge for
the evaluation of carbonate reservoirs in the subsurface. Based on a detailed petrographical …

Granular materials are made up of particles with complex non-convex shapes that in many
cases become connected by cementation, sintering or other adhesive processes. This paper …
