An integrated analysis of facies control on deformation bands in mixed aeolian-fluvial sandstone reservoirs (2021)
Thesis
Clark, K. (2021). An integrated analysis of facies control on deformation bands in mixed aeolian-fluvial sandstone reservoirs. (Thesis). Keele University

Deformation bands are the primary structural element of fault damage zones within porous granular rocks. They are sub-seismic structures that act to modify the petrophysical properties of the host lithology, and as such are an area of focused researc...
