Geologists studying ancient desert rocks have stumbled on a microscopic tunnel system that looks uncannily deliberate, a ...

New research published in the journal Geoscience Frontiers highlights the cyclic patterns of geologic activity on Earth. Scientists from New York University report findings from an analysis of major ...

This course covers geologic and engineering concepts, methodology, and technology used to characterize, evaluate and manage naturally-fractured reservoirs. Applications and limitations of geologic and ...

Boulder, Colo., USA – How long does it take for natural Earth processes to form hydraulic fractures? Is the formation driven by sediment compaction, oil and gas generation, or something else? What ...

Due to the discontinuity and multi-scale of fracture porous media (FPM), fluid transport in the naturally fractured reservoir (NFR) is more complex than in the conventional reservoirs. Based on the ...

Whether they're cracking open rocks or scanning tiny changes in topography, geologists already work in three dimensions. But one of the most popular attractions at the Geological Society of America's ...
