Deformation bands can compartmentalise reservoirs, causing challenges for hydrocarbon production. Here we look at the New Red Sandstone on Arran which is host to an impressive network of deformation bands.
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.
