The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

It sounds counter-intuitive to consider contraction features such as stylolites as potential
conduits for flow. However, this idea has grown since 1980, with geoscientists finding many …

Surfactants have been widely used for enhanced oil recovery. However, the wettability
alteration potential of surfactants as a function of carbonate rock mineralogy remains broadly …

Abstract The Oliana anticline (Southern Pyrenees) has been characterized as an outcrop
analogue of a geothermal reservoir using field data (stratigraphy and fracturing) and …

川中地区茅口组白云岩主要位于茅口组二段中, 上部和茅口组三段下部, 根据岩石学特征可分为
含灰质细—中晶白云岩, 细—中晶白云岩, 角砾白云岩, 且以后两者为主. 对比泥晶灰岩与不同 …

Understanding the diagenetic evolution of carbonate cementation in hydrocarbon reservoirs
is critical to better reconstruct the history of fluid flow during petroleum accumulation. The …

Thermal convection arises due to a density gradient between geothermally heated formation
water within the underlying strata and the water in the overlying strata. The thermal …

There is ongoing debate on whether stylolites act as barriers, conduits, or play no role in
fluid transport. This problem can be tackled by examining the spatial and temporal …

This study investigates the Late Aptian–earliest Albian platform carbonates of the
Benicàssim area (Maestrat Basin, Spain) in order to assess the relationship between bed …

Abstract: The vertical distribution of bedding-parallel stylolites in cores from the
approximately 50-m-thick Thamama-B reservoir zone of the Lower Cretaceous Kharaib …
