Geostatistical analysis of fractures in shear zones in the Chibougamau area: applications to structural geology

Tectonophysics, 1997
Abstract A geostatistical approach is used to analyze the spatial distribution of fracture density in shear zones. The methodology proposed is illustrated with data obtained from the mapping of drift walls at the Henderson mine in the Chibougamau mining district, Quebec.

Study of Geology-Engineering Integration Fracturing Design Based on Material Point Method

2021
Due to terrestrial deposited, the tight-oil-reservoir in North Songliao Basin has strong heterogeneity. In view of this characteristic, this paper studied on geology-engineering integration based on material point method, and confirmed reasonable parameters and fracturing models, to increase the efficiency of volume fracturing.

The axial cleavage fracture 1 Axial cleavage fracturing, a significant process in mining and geology

Engineering Geology, 1965
Abstract The attention is called to the systematic occurrence of fracturing in brittle rock parallel to the major load axis at triaxial differential compressive loading. The axial fracture plane shows the features of the tensile brittle ( cleavage) fracture; this circumstance has led to the nomenclature “axial cleavage fracture”.

Behaviour of fractures in hard rocks — A study by surface geology and radial VES method

Geoexploration, 1983
Abstract In hard rock terrain the exploration of groundwater is essentially the detection of thick weathered residuum or of zones of intense jointing and fracturing and hence is extremely complex. The present study incorporates the radial vertical electrical sounding (VES) method in understanding the behaviour of rock fracturing at shallow depths in ...

Production Geology as a Tool for Monitoring Water Influx in a Compartmentalized California Monterey Fractured Reservoir

SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2016
Abstract This paper through a case study exemplifies the use of some common sense reservoir engineering methods using performance data in characterizing heterogeneity and compartmentalization in a complex fractured reservoir producing from the Monterey formation. The field is highly faulted and water influx has been a source of energy in

Methods and applications of fracture trace analysis in the quantification of structural geology

Geological Magazine, 1969
SUMMARYNaturally occurring linear features recognisable on aerial photographs may be related to bedrock tectonics. The identification and analysis of such linear elements, “megajoints”, reveals much information about the style and dimensions of subsurface geologic structures.

An Integrated Geology-reservoir Description And Modeling of the Naturally Fractured Spraberry Trend Area Reservoirs

Annual Technical Meeting, 1998
Abstract In order to determine the technical and economic feasibility of carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding the naturally fractured Spraberry Trend Area reservoirs in west Texas, a team with multiple disciplines was formed A thorough geological study has been performed based on analyses of thin sections, core samples ...

Hands-On Exercise in Environmental Structural Geology Using a Fracture Block Model

Journal of Geoscience Education, 2001
A scale analog model of an actual fractured rock reservoir was developed to demonstrate the relative utility of structural methods in predicting groundwater flow directions. Students performed several standard structural analyses directly on the fracture block rather than paper copies of fracture maps as in standard exercises.
