Supercritical‐flow structures in a Cretaceous submarine channel–lobe transition zone, Point Loma Formation, California

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2026.
We document meter‐scale antidune and cyclic‐step deposits in channel–lobe transition zone (CLTZ) deposits of the Upper Cretaceous Point Loma Formation in San Diego, California. These results provide new insights into sediment transport dynamics in CLTZ environments, which are critical for understanding reservoir connectivity and heterogeneity in ...

Geology of the Transverse Range Province, Southern California [PDF]

, 1954
The Transverse Range province of southern California is an elongate geomorphic and structural unit that trends essentially east-west across parts of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties (pl. 4).

Anisotropy in Fracking: A Percolation Model for Observed Microseismicity

, 2014
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) using high pressures and a low viscosity fluid allow the extraction of large quantiles of oil and gas from very low permeability shale formations.

Efficient Numerical Framework for Geothermal Energy Production Optimization in Fracture‐Controlled Reservoirs

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 709-730, June 2026.
We introduce an efficient open‐source numerical framework for the automated search for the placements of injection and production wells in hot fracture‐controlled reservoirs that sustainably optimize geothermal energy production. We model the reservoirs as discrete fracture networks in 3D. The fluid flow and heat transport in the reservoirs are modeled

Effective Evaluation Methods for Fractured Tight Sandstone Reservoirs in Kuqa Depression

Cejing jishu
The multi-genetic fracture in Kuqa depression of Tarim basin provide effective reservoir space and permeability pathways for the reservoir, and the matrix rock blocks have small porosity, making it a typical fractured tight sandstone reservoir.

Radiolysis and Fe‐Biotite Alteration: Questioning the Origin of H2‐Bearing Fluid Inclusions in the Yorke Peninsula Granites, South Australia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Multiple drillings in the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, recently confirmed the presence of natural hydrogen (H2) in shallow sedimentary units. While radiolysis and Fe‐oxidation in the basement are potential generation mechanisms, their respective contributions remain unconstrained.

Tight sandstone reservoirs in lacustrine environments: review and perspectives

International Geology Review
This study systematically investigated the characteristics, formation mechanisms, and development potential of global lacustrine tight sandstone reservoirs to address the urgent demand for unconventional hydrocarbon exploration. A combination of literature review and case studies from representative basins, including the Uinta Basin (U.S.A.), San Jorge

How Does Heterogeneity Control Strain Localization Patterns in High‐Porosity Rocks?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We aim to explore how heterogeneous porosity and grain size contribute to strain localization patterns in highly porous rocks based on phase‐field simulations. The strain localization patterns, including shear bands, dilatation bands, and compaction bands, are commonly observed in geological field studies and laboratory experiments.

Constraining the Hydration of Clay Minerals and Abundances of Amorphous Phases in Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Both water and organic matter are required for the development and persistence of life. Phyllosilicates (clay minerals) have high surface areas that easily sorb water and organic matter. The Curiosity rover has investigated several hundred meters of stratigraphy in Gale crater, including where clays were detected from orbit.
