Abstract:
Fractured rocks can exhibit good reservoir properties and provide high-permeability passages for hydrocarbons. Understanding fracture and stress systems is a key element in successful horizontal drilling and fracking for unconventional reservoir exploration. As a result, there is growing interest in methods that can estimate fracture orientation, density, and style. However, fracture detection using surface seismic data is challenging, and the results are usually ambiguous. Each method has its own strengths and weaknesses and responds to fractures and compressional stress in different ways. A

Abstract:
Summary Uncertainty in geometrical properties of fractures, when they are considered as the conductive paths for flow movement, affects all aspects of flow in fractured reservoirs. The connectivity of fractures, embedded in low-permeability zones, can control fluid movement and influence field performance. This can be analyzed using percolation theory. This approach uses the hypothesis that the permeability map can be split into either permeable (i.e., fracture) or impermeable (i.e., matrix) portions and assumes that the connectivity of fractures controls the flow.

The “seismic resolution gap” has been an area of ambiguity ever since the results of 3D seismic interpretation have been used as inputs for modeling purposes because many important structural events such as fractures are at or below seismic resolution, which can impinge reservoir properties such as porosity and permeability. Having the means to accurately map these events with confidence has always been a challenge.

Abstract:
The unifying theme for granite landscapes of the world is the granite itself, hence it is logical to start with a brief account of granite geology. For obvious reasons of space and relevance, this chapter cannot provide a comprehensive and extensive treatment of granite as a rock. Rather, its aim is to provide background information on those aspects of granite geology which are relevant to geomorphology and may help to explain the variety of landforms and landscapes supported by granite. The survey of literature about the geomorphology of granite areas reveals that in too many studies the lithology of granite and the structure of their intrusive bodies have not received adequate attention, especially if a ruling paradigm was one of climatic, or climato-genetic geomorphology. Granites were usually described in terms of their average grain size, but much less often of their geochemistry, fabric, or physical properties. Even the usage of the very term ‘granite’ may have lacked accuracy, and many landforms described as supported by granite may in fact have developed in granodiorite. On the other hand, it is true that granite may give way to granodiorites without an accompanying change in scenery. In the Yosemite National Park, Sierra Nevada, California, these two variants occur side by side and both support deeply incised valleys, precipitous slopes and the famous Sierran domes. Likewise, wider structural relationships within plutons and batholiths, and with respect to the country rock, have been considered in detail rather seldom. In analyses of discontinuities, long demonstrated to be highly significant for geomorphology, terms such as ‘joints’, ‘faults’, and ‘fractures’ have not been used with sufficient rigour. But it has to be noted in defence of many such geologically poorly based studies that adequate geological data were either hardly available or restricted to a few specific localities within extensive areas, therefore of limited use for any spatial analysis of granite landforms. Notwithstanding the above, there exist a number of studies in which landforms have been carefully analysed in their relationships to various aspects of the lithology, structure, and tectonics of granite intrusions.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT We report on the Cleanskin structure (18°10′00″S, 137°56′30″E), situated at the border between the Northern Territory and Queensland, Australia, and present results of preliminary geological fieldwork, microscopic analyses, and remote sensing. The Cleanskin structure is an eroded complex impact structure of ~15 km apparent diameter with a polygonal outline caused by two preexisting regional fault sets. The structure has a central uplift of ~6 km diameter surrounded by a rather shallow ring syncline. Based on stratigraphy, the uplift in the center may not exceed ~1000 m. The documentation of planar deformation features (PDFs), planar fractures (PFs), and feather features (FFs) in quartz grains from sandstone members of the Mesoproterozoic Constance Sandstone confirms the impact origin of the Cleanskin structure, as proposed earlier. The crater was most likely eroded before the Cambrian and later became buried beneath Cretaceous strata. We infer a late Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic age of the impact event. In this chapter, the Cleanskin structure is compared with other midsized crater structures on Earth. Those with sandstone-dominated targets show structural similarities to the Cleanskin structure.

Abstract:
Characteristic analysis is well known in mineral resources appraisal and has proved useful for petroleum exploration. It also can be used to integrate geological data in sedimentary basin analysis and hydrocarbon assessment, considering geological relationships and uncertainties that result from lack of basic geological knowledge, A generalization of characteristic analysis, using fuzzy-set theory and fuzzy logic, may prove better for quantification of geologic analogues and also for description of reservoir and sedimentary facies. Characteristic analysis is a discrete multivariate procedure for combining and interpreting data; Botbol (1971) originally proposed its application to geology, geochemistry, and geophysics. It has been applied mainly in the search for poorly exposed or concealed mineral deposits by exploring joint occurrences or absences of mineralogical, lithological, and structural attributes (McCammon et al., 1981). It forms part of a systematic approach to resource appraisal and integration of generalized and specific geological knowledge (Chaves, 1988, 1989; Chaves and Lewis, 1989). The technique usually requires some form of discrete sampling to be applicable—generally a spatial discretization of maps into cells or regular grids (Melo, 1988). Characteristic analysis attempts to determine the joint occurrences of various attributes that are favorable for, related to, or indicative of the occurrence of the desired phenomenon or target. In geological applications, the target usually is an economic accumulation of energy or mineral resources. Applying characteristic analysis requires the following steps: 1) the studied area is sampled using a regular square or rectangular grid of cells; 2) in each cell the favorabilities of the variables are expressed in binary or ternary form; 3) a model is chosen that indicates the cells that include the target (Sinding-Larsen et al, 1979); and 4) a combined favorability map of the area is produced that points out possible new targets. The favorability of individual variables is expressed either in binary form— assigning a value of +1 to favorable and a value of 0 to unfavorable or unevaluated variables—or in ternary form if the two states represented by 0 are distinguishable—the value +1 again means favorable, the value —1 means unfavorable, and the value 0 means unevaluated.

Abstract:
This chapter is only a brief introduction to lithic archaeological materials. Archaeologists with but little knowledge of rocks and rock-forming minerals are urged to learn about them in greater detail than that presented here. Lithic resources are abundant in almost every archaeological site, and lithic artifacts are invariably the best preserved of any remains. Early societies learned how to exploit these resources, and the use and production of lithics go back to the earliest known sites, at least 1.5 million years. In fact, the earliest cultures are distinguished on the basis of their lithic industries and lithic artifacts. Horror stories in misidentification of lithics abound. Not only have misidentified artifacts proven embarrassing to the archaeologist, but also they have made it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of different societies using published descriptions. In addition, conservation strategies for historical monuments cannot be developed without an understanding of the nature of the material used in their construction. Some egregious examples of ignorance of the rocks and minerals from our personal experience include the following: 1. An archaeologist asked if a quartzite scraper was either flint or chert. When told that it was neither, he asked, "Well then, which is it more like?" (answer, still neither). 2. Egyptian basalt statues have been called limestone in publications (and several other rock types). 3. Sources for alabaster were searched to explain a trading link between a site and elsewhere when the geological map showed the site was adjacent to a mountain of gypsum, the mineral component of alabaster (the gypsum may have merely rolled down the hillside to the workshops, where it became the more salable alabaster). 4. Conservators searched for methods to preserve an allegedly granitic historic monument, or so it had been identified. Chemical analysis revealed only abundant Ca, Mg, and carbonate. Fossils were also abundant in the "granite," which dissolved easily in hydrochloric acid (the "granite" was clearly limestone). Petrology is the branch of geology that deals with the occurrence, origin, and history of rocks. Petrography is concerned with descriptions of rocks, their mineralogy, structures, and textures.

Abstract:
Among the various natural disasters, landslides are considered to be one of the serious geological hazards that are triggered due to intensive rainfall, earthquakes, deforestation, mining, floods, etc. Landslides result in devastating impacts causes thousands of deaths and injuries, damage to properties. The changing pattern of landslide hazard zones every year forces the need to safeguard people and properties in the respective areas. Weighted linear combination (WLC) is used to prepare the landslide hazard zonation map in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India. Nine layers, namely slope, aspect, lineament density, rainfall, distance of roads, elevation, distance from rivers, landuse/landcover, geology, are used in overlay analysis. Supply chain facilities are widely used in the field of transportation of goods to the consumers with the reduction of transportation costs. The implementation of supply chain mechanism along with GIS in disaster management could help to save numerous lives during disaster events.

Abstract:
Landslide is one of the costliest and fatal geological hazards, threatening and influencing the socioeconomic conditions in many countries globally. Remote sensing approaches are widely used in landslide studies. Landslide threats can also be investigated through slope stability model, susceptibility mapping, hazard assessment, risk analysis, and other methods. Although it is possible to conduct landslide studies using in-situ observation, it is time-consuming, expensive, and sometimes challenging to collect data at inaccessible terrains. Remote sensing data can be used in landslide monitoring, mapping, hazard prediction and assessment, and other investigations. The primary goal of this chapter is to review the existing remote sensing approaches and techniques used to study landslides and explore the possibilities of potential remote sensing tools that can effectively be used in landslide studies in the future. This chapter also provides critical and comprehensive reviews of landslide studies focus¬ing on the role played by remote sensing data and approaches in landslide hazard assessment. Further, the reviews discuss the application of remotely sensed products for landslide detection, mapping, prediction, and evaluation around the world. This systematic review may contribute to better understanding the extensive use of remotely sensed data and spatial analysis techniques to conduct landslide studies at a range of scales.

Abstract:
In order to characterize the landslide susceptibility in the central zone of Guerrero State in Mexico, a spatial model has been designed and implemented, which automatically generates cartography. Conditioning factors as geomorphological, geological, and anthropic variables were considered, and as a detonating factor, the effect of the accumulated rain. The use of an inventory map of landslides that occurred in the past (IL) was also necessary, which was produced by an unsupervised detection method. Before the design of the model, an analysis of the contribution of each factor, related to the landslide inventory map, was performed by the Jackknife test. The designed model consists of a susceptibility index (SI) calculated pixel by pixel by the accumulation of the individual contribution of each factor, and the final index allows the susceptibility cartography to slide in the study area. The evaluation of the obtained map was performed by applying an analysis of the frequency ratio (FR) graphic, and an analysis of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was developed. Studies like this can help different safeguarding institutions, locating the areas where there is a greater vulnerability according to the considered factors, and integrating disaster attention management or prevention plans.

Full text
Abstract:
The Parisian basin is a geographical entity whose limits are easily defined by the Armorican massif, the Massif Central, the Vosges, the Ardennes, and the English Channel. Both Burgundy and Poitou are transitional areas. The Paris basin, a more restrictive term, corresponds according to some geologists (Cavelier and Lorenz 1987) essentially to the Tertiary ‘part’ of the basin: the Île de France and surroundings. The relief of the Parisian basin results from two sets of factors: tectonic and climatic. These have operated from Triassic times until the Pleistocene and have led to the development of a geographically simple whole in its gross structure and form. However, within this framework individual natural regions (or geotypes) may be recognized. The Parisian basin is frequently considered as a model for sedimentary basins, displaying as it does, a classic framework of sedimentary formations (Pomerol 1978; Cavelier and Pomerol 1979; Cavelier et al. 1979; Pomerol and Feugueur 1986; Debrand-Passard 1995). This is evident from the geological map of France, and on the related cross-section. Indeed, the section shows the superposition of strata in a subsiding area, with a maximal thickness (3,200 m) in the Brie country. This arrangement illustrates the geometric definition of the Parisian basin, an intracratonic basin, 600 km in diameter, limited towards the west by the Armorican massif, the south by the Massif Central, the east by the Vosges, and the north-east by the Ardenno-Rhenan massif. The following geological overview is based upon the previously mentioned studies and the geological time scale. However, the analysis of the evolution of these sedimentary areas from Triassic to Neogene shows that the area named as the ‘Parisian basin’ was included in successive palaeogeographies (which were strongly influenced by adjacent seas) and overflowed across the basement regions that now act as the limits of the basin. The chronological order of the geological formations involved in the evolution of the Parisian basin according to Robin et al. (2000) is used in the following text. During the Triassic, the future Parisian basin was a gulf of the German Sea. This sea transgressed westwards and reached the meridian of Paris during the Keuper.

Abstract:
Abstract Hydrocarbon exploration continues to venture into new avenues. This paper elaborates the 3D geomechanical study carried out to identify sweet spots in Deccan Trap Basalts in depth ranging from 500m-1100m in Cambay basin field of India. The main challenge is wide variation in the rock mechanical properties and stress profiles along various azimuths resulting from different tectonic incidents over the geological ages. Several drilling complications and held ups during electro logging in highly deviated wells are also reported. The normal fault tectonic framework has the imprint of two s

Abstract:
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation technique in which the formation is fractured using high pressure exerted by a fluid. The induced fracture increases the permeability of the formation by providing conductive channels to the formation which results in improved fluids productivity. Hydraulic fracturing is a common practice in oil and gas, particularly in the development of unconventional low porosity and low permeability reservoirs. However, as the hydraulic fracturing technique is costly, considerable preparations efforts must be made before executing the fracturing operation incl

Abstract:
The creation of large complex fracture networks by hydraulic fracturing is imperative for enhanced oil recovery from tight sand or shale reservoirs, tight gas extraction, and Hot-Dry-Rock (HDR) geothermal systems to improve the contact area to the rock matrix. Although conventional fracturing treatments may result in bi-wing fractures, there is evidence by microseismic mapping that fracture networks can develop in many unconventional reservoirs, especially when natural fracture systems are present and the differences between the principle stresses are low. However, not much insight is gained a

Abstract:
The biggest challenge for producing a tight (<0.1 mD) gas-condensate reservoir is its low deliverability. Therefore, it is important to consider well stimulation in the field development program. There are several types of stimulation, and one of the types which has the most impact is acid fracturing. However, thorough study needs to be carried out to ensure its compatibility with the specific reservoir condition. This paper will describe in detail how the geology, geophysics and reservoir (GGR) analysis and the stimulation study play its role to create a successful acid fracturing job in I

Abstract:
Abstract The Three Forks Formation in the Williston Basin has started to see a large increase in activity in the past six years. This is largely due to the shallower Bakken Formation transitioning into an infill development mode and operators looking at finding incremental reserves from the Three Forks Formation below. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the geological and completion variables of Three Forks horizontal wells in the North Dakota portion of the Williston Basin, and show which factors impact production performance using multivariate statistics.

Abstract:
Generally, most waterpower plants have to function under energy system peak load operation. Thus, there is a relatively quick water level variation observed in water-storage reservoirs, which contributes to the problems, especially in case of high-pressure waterworks facilities. Swift reservoir draw-down enhances seepage volumetric forces acting from the rock mass, which may lead to rock mass cracking and eventually to the development of landslide processes. A rapid impoundment of the water-storage reservoir is no less damaging. In this case, seepage in the rock mass is progressing in non-stea

Abstract:
Heavy minerals (HMs) are minerals with a specific gravity greater than 2.9 g/cm3. They are commonly highly resistant to physical and chemical weathering, and therefore persist in sediments as lasting indicators of the (former) presence of the rocks they formed in. The presence/absence of certain HMs, their associations with other HMs, their concentration levels, and the geochemical patterns they form in maps or 3D models can be indicative of geological processes that contributed to their formation. Furthermore trace element and isotopic analyses of HMs have been used to vector to mineralisatio
