This blog addresses why wettability is important in the recovery of oil from fractured chalks.
Faults, slickenlines
This blog shows that slickenlines are scratches on the surfaces of shear fractures. The state of stress on a shear fracture can be predicted by Mohr circles.

This blog addresses why wettability is important in the recovery of oil from fractured chalks.
There are 2 basic types of natural fractures that need to be studied when characterising naturally fractured reservoirs - whether it be a geothermal or hydrocarbon reservoir. These are extension and shear fractures.
Faults, Folds
This blog examines some key features of thrust systems with an example from seismic data offshore Namibia and from a hand specimen onshore UK.
