Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects require an accurate evaluation of the sealing
potential of faults and highly fractured zones to minimize the potential for CO 2 leakage. A …

The interconnectedness of a subsurface fracture system depends on five fracture and
fracture set geometry characteristics: density, orientation, dimensions (height and length) …

The Monte Alpi (southern Italy) is well known as an outcropping analogue of the Val d'Agri
subsurface units which host a number of oil fields of economic importance. This paper …

Fine-scale discrete fracture simulations provide a natural means to quantify the matrix-
fracture fluxes and to specify reference solutions for upscaling approaches such as dual …

We report the results of a systematic study carried out on the fracture systems exposed in the
Sierra de La Candelaria anticline, in the central Andean retrowedge of northwestern …

Mechanical and chemical processes experienced by carbonate rocks result in a complex
network of natural fractures and dissolution features that have direct implications on porosity …

In cratonic interiors, long-lived brittle shear zones host records of polyphase deformation,
representing inherited structures that can host damaging earthquakes. Here, we explore the …

The Latemar massif represents a good analogue of a carbonate fractured reservoir.
Fractures are widely exposed all over the mountain and the stratigraphic relationships …

Abstract The Greater Cheleken Area (GCA) reservoirs, offshore developed by Dragon Oil,
are situated on a complex NW-SE dextral transcurrent zone which separates the Northern …

Modeling complex transport processes in naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) using
classical continuum models may not be practically possible because the algorithms used in …
