  • Faults and Joints
    133 JOINTS Joints (also termed extensional fractures) are planes of separation on which no or undetectable shear displacement has taken place. The two walls of the resulting tiny opening typically remain in tight (matching) contact. Joints may result from regional tectonics (i.e. the compressive stresses in front of a mountain belt), folding (due to curvature of bedding), faulting, or internal stress release during uplift or cooling. They often form under high fluid pressure (i.e. low effective stress), perpendicular to the smallest principal stress. The aperture of a joint is the space between its two walls measured perpendicularly to the mean plane. Apertures can be open (resulting in permeability enhancement) or occluded by mineral cement (resulting in permeability reduction). A joint with a large aperture (> few mm) is a fissure. The mechanical layer thickness of the deforming rock controls joint growth. If present in sufficient number, open joints may provide adequate porosity and permeability such that an otherwise impermeable rock may become a productive fractured reservoir. In quarrying, the largest block size depends on joint frequency; abundant fractures are desirable for quarrying crushed rock and gravel. Joint sets and systems Joints are ubiquitous features of rock exposures and often form families of straight to curviplanar fractures typically perpendicular to the layer boundaries in sedimentary rocks. A set is a group of joints with similar orientation and morphology. Several sets usually occur at the same place with no apparent interaction, giving exposures a blocky or fragmented appearance. Two or more sets of joints present together in an exposure compose a joint system.

Paulding, Jr. Submitted to the Department of Geology and Geophysics February 9, 1965 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Photoelastic analysis of several two-crack arrays pre- dicts that compressive fracture is initiated at cracks oriented in a particular en schelon manner. Observation of partially-fractured samples of Westerly granite, obtained during uniaxial and confined compression tests by stopping the fracture process, indicate that fracture is initiated by en echelon arrays of biotite grains and pre-existing, trans-granular, cracks.

  • Amplitude Inversion of Fast and Slow Converted Waves for Fracture Characterization of the Montney Formation in Pouce Coupe Field, Alberta, Canada
    AMPLITUDE INVERSION OF FAST AND SLOW CONVERTED WAVES FOR FRACTURE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MONTNEY FORMATION IN POUCE COUPE FIELD, ALBERTA, CANADA by Tyler L. MacFarlane c Copyright by Tyler L. MacFarlane, 2014 All Rights Reserved A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geo- physics). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Tyler L. MacFarlane Signed: Dr. Thomas L. Davis Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. Terence K. Young Professor and Head Department of Geophysics ii ABSTRACT The Montney Formation of western Canada is one of the largest economically viable gas resource plays in North America with reserves of 449TCF. As an unconventional tight gas play, the well development costs are high due to the hydraulic stimulations necessary for economic success. The Pouce Coupe research project is a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) and Talisman Energy Inc. with the objective of understanding the reservoir to enable the optimization of well placement and completion design. The work in this thesis focuses on identifying the natural fractures in the reservoir that act as the delivery systems for hydrocarbon flow to the wellbore. Characterization of the Montney Formation at Pouce Coupe is based on time-lapse mul- ticomponent seismic surveys that were acquired before and after the hydraulic stimulation of two horizontal wells. Since shear-wave velocities and amplitudes of the PS-waves are known to be sensitive to near-vertical fractures, I utilize isotropic simultaneous seismic in- versions on azimuthally-sectored PS1 and PS2 data sets to obtain measurements of the fast and slow shear-velocities.

Equant Spar, Example #1 Pennsylvania, Mercer County, McKnight Well The cement crystals filling the pore space of this skeletal grainstone are very “clean” and equal in size. Equant Cement, Example #2 West Virginia, Wood County, Black River Formation, 9951 ft In this intraclastic grainstone from the Black River Formation in West Virginia the primary pore-filling cement is equant spar. Close observation of this thin section reveals two generations of cement an early prismatic fringe around the intraclasts and the later equant spar cement. PeloidalU Cement Peloidal Cement, Example #1 West Virginia, Wood County, Black River Formation, 10018 ft This is a typical example of a peloidal cement in the Black River Formation in West Virginia. Notice that the neospar is not evenly distributed throughout the section, but the peloidal or clotted texture is evident throughout. Peloidal Cement, Example #2 West Virginia, Wood County, Black River Formation, 10034 ft In this section the most distinct peloidal texture is evident in the lower left corner of the slide. In addition to the peloidal cement there are also wavy argillaceous laminations with associated dolomite crystals. Peloidal Cement, Example #3 Pennsylvania, Union Furnace outcrop The clotted texture of this mudstone shows the partial development of peloidal cement. Notice the somewhat rounded grains with sparry material in between. Further neomorphism will result in textures similar to those observed in the other peloidal cement slides. Peloidal Cement, Example #4 West Virginia, Wood County, Black River Formation, 10054 ft This peloidal cement was photographed under crossed polars.

  • Fracture-Related Fluid Flow in Sandstone Reservoirs: Insights from Outcrop Analogues of South-Eastern Utah
    Fracture-related fluid flow in sandstone reservoirs: insights from outcrop analogues of south-eastern Utah Kei Ogata, Kim Senger, Alvar Braathen, Jan Tveranger, Elizabeth Petrie, James Evans Fault- and fold-related fracturing strongly influences the fluid circulation in the subsurface, thus being extremely important for CO2 storage exploration, especially in terms of reservoir connectivity and leakage. In this context, discrete regions of concentrated sub-parallel fracturing known as fracture corridors or swarms, are inferred to be preferential conduits for fluid migration. We investigate fracture corridors of the middle-late Jurassic Entrada and Curtis Formations of the northern Paradox Basin (Utah), which are characterized by discoloration (bleaching) due to oxide removal by circulating CO2- and/or hydrocarbon-charged fluids. The analyzed fracture corridors are located in the footwall of a km-scale, steep normal fault with displacement values on the order of hundreds of meters. These structures trend roughly perpendicular and subordinately parallel to the direction of the main fault, defining a systematic network on the hundreds of meters scale. The fracture corridors pinch- and fringe- out laterally and vertically in single, continuous fractures, following the axial zones of open fold systems related to the evolution of the main fault. On the basis of the presented data we hypothesize that fracture corridors developed along the hinge of anticlinal/synclinal folds represent preferred pathways for fluid migration rather than the main faults, connecting localized reservoirs at different structural levels up to the surface. Introduction Fracture corridors are narrow and laterally extensive zones of concentrated fracturing defined by sub- parallel trending fractures (Ozkaya et al., 2007).

  • Experimental Investigation of Quasistatic and Dynamic Fracture
    Experimental Investigation of Quasistatic and Dynamic Fracture Properties of Titanium Alloys Thesis by David Deloyd Anderson In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 2002 (Submitted January 11, 2002) ii c 2002 David Deloyd Anderson All Rights Reserved iii Acknowledgments: I would like to thank my advisors, Dr. Rosakis and Dr. Ravichandran, for their help, support, ideas, and patience with my research and with my doings in general. Life is too complicated to allow exclusive focus on any one thing, even research, and they helped me in managing all. In addition to Drs. Rosakis and Ravichandran, I would first like to thank those on my thesis committee: Dr. Bhattacharya, Dr. Ust¨¨ undag, and Dr. Meyers (U.C.S.D.) for their time, comments, and suggestion. These are the people who reviewed my research, listened to my presentation, verbally poked and prodded me, and then with their handshakes and signatures made me a doctor. My research was funded by the Office of Naval Research by Dr. G. Yoder, Scientific Officer. Little research and training occurs without funding, so for their support I am grateful. I was also assisted by the Charles Lee Powell Foundation and the ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists— www.arcsfoundation.org) foundation. The latter group not only made it financially palatable to forsake the workforce for a higher education (while “supporting” a family), but they provided many opportunities for me to interact with their members and donors. This provided me with endless motivation to make good on their show of faith in me.
