Deformation bands are fault-like structures that reduce the reservoir quality of otherwise good quality sandstones. Here we look at their impact upon effective permeability, which has implications during reservoir development.
This blog examines some key features of thrust systems with an example from seismic data offshore Namibia and from a hand specimen onshore UK.
This blog looks at joints contained within zones of deformation bands - how they form and if they are important or not.
This blog describes the value of a geomechanical approach to fracture prediction; for example thin beds often have more fractures than thick beds.
This blog looks at some key features of zones of deformation bands. Featured are 2 outcrops of Permian age sandstone from Scotland, UK.
