Evaluation of Present Tectonic Stress Field and Permeability of Coalbed Methane Reservoirs by Inversion of Logging Data From Longtan Formation, Dahebian Block

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The permeability of coal reservoirs is predominantly controlled by the present tectonic stress field. This study systematically integrates macro‐ and micro‐scale analytical methods to investigate the controlling mechanisms of tectonic stress on pore‐fracture characteristics and permeability in the Longtan Formation coal reservoirs.

Permian Aquatic Reptiles

open access: yes, 2019
Eight amniote genera (representing four clades) became aquatic during the Permian. The four clades were mesosaurids, tangasaurids, the neodiapsid Claudiosaurus, and the procolophonid Barasaurus. Two of eight genera survived the end-Permian mass extinction, but did not last long into the Mesozoic.

The Permian Bacterium that Isn't

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2001
There is growing evidence for the presence of viable microorganisms in geological salt formations that are millions of years old. It is still not known, however, whether these bacteria are dormant organisms that are themselves millions of years old or whether the salt crystals merely provide a habitat in which contemporary microorganisms can grow ...

Carbon Storage in Fold‐and‐Thrust Belts: An Overlooked Gigatonne Storage Opportunity

open access: yesGreenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents numerical investigations of the trapping characteristics of fold‐and‐thrust belt structures, defining three carbon capture and storage (CCS) play types that could be used to store commercial volumes (millions of tonnes) of CO2.

Detrital zircon SHRIMP U-Pb age study of the Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex of Tierra del Fuego : sedimentary sources and implications for the evolution of the Pacific margin of Gondwana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex in the southernmost Andes includes a basement of probable Palaeozoic age, a mid-Jurassic and younger volcano-sedimentary cover, and a suite of Jurassic granites, all of which were jointly metamorphosed during the
