Unsupervised Electrofacies Clustering Based on Parameterization of Petrophysical Properties: A Dynamic Programming Approach

François Fleuret

Electrofacies using well logs play a vital role in reservoir characterization. Often, they are sorted into clusters according to the self-similarity of input logs and do not capture the known underlying physical process. In this paper, we propose an unsupe ...

Fault's hydraulic diffusivity enhancement during injection induced fault reactivation: application of pore pressure diffusion inversions to laboratory injection experiments

François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

In situ observations of fluid induced fault slip reactivation, as well as the analysis of induced seismicity have demonstrated the complexity of fluid-fault interactions under geological conditions. If fluid flow commonly reactivates faults in the form of ...

Emergence of Cracklike Behavior of Frictional Rupture: The Origin of Stress Drops

Jean-François Molinari, Fabian Barras, Thibault Didier Roch

The process of frictional rupture, i.e., the failure of frictional systems, abounds in the technological and natural world around us, ranging from squealing car brake pads to earthquakes along geological faults. A general framework for understanding and in ...

Dissolution-reprecipitation reaction of dolomite: investigation of self- and tracer-diffusion using SIMS mini-spot and NanoSIMS profiles

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Lukas Baumgartner

Recrystallization of minerals due to fluid infiltration modifies their original chemical and isotopic signature. Such processes are sought after as they give access to timescales of geologic processes, which are commonly quantified using diffusion chronome ...

Supercritical CO2 injection and residence time in fluid-saturated rocks: Evidence for CO2 and mineral dissolution and effects on rock integrity

Lucas Xan Pimienta, Ke Liu

CO2 injection and storage in geological reservoirs is an attractive prospect for mitigating the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases and global warming. The technology could lead to mineral precipitation and therefore stable storage over geological ...

Reconstruction and visualization of large-scale volumetric models of neocortical circuits for physically-plausible in silico optical studies

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Stefan Eilemann, Nicolas Antille

Background: We present a software workflow capable of building large scale, highly detailed and realistic volumetric models of neocortical circuits from the morphological skeletons of their digitally reconstructed neurons. The limitations of the existing a ...

Efficient global optimization of reservoir geomechanical parameters based on synthetic aperture radar-derived ground displacements

Francesco Comola

When large volumes of fluids are removed from or injected into underground formations for, e.g., hydrocarbon and water production, CO_2 storage, gas storage, and geothermal energy exploitation, monitoring of surface deformations coupled to numerical modeli ...

Alternative conceptual models and the robustness of groundwater management scenarios in the multi-aquifer system of the Central Veneto Basin, Italy

Andrea Rinaldo

A three-dimensional (3D) groundwater flow model of the deep multi-aquifer Quaternary deposits of the Po plain sedimentary basin, within a 3,300-km(2) area (Veneto, Italy), is developed, tested and applied to aid sustainable large-scale water-resources mana ...

Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Modelling of Hollow Cylinder Laboratory Experiments on Boom Clay

Vincent Labiouse, Bertrand François

The aim of the TIMODAZ project is to investigate the effect of thermal changes on the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) around nuclear deep disposals in clay-based geological formations. In the framework of WP5.2 of this project, it is intended to develop cons ...

Curvature of micropores in Al-Cu alloys: An X-ray tomography study

Michel Rappaz

Micropores formed in Al-Cu alloys cast under controlled conditions have been analyzed using high-resolution X-ray tomography. The influence of inoculation conditions, copper content, cooling rate and initial hydrogen content on the morphology of pores has ...

Fragility Functions for Seismic Risk in Regions with Moderate Seismicity

Marcelo Rafael Oropeza Ancieta

The seismic assessment of existing buildings has been underestimated in regions with moderate seismic hazard, such as the North-West Europe. Strong earthquakes, such as the 1356 Basel earthquake, already occurred in such regions and caused severe damage. T ...

A combination of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds aimed at modelling electrical conductivity and permittivity of variably saturated porous media

Alessandro Brovelli

In this paper we propose a novel theoretical model for the dielectric response of variably saturated porous media. A model is constructed for fully saturated porous media as a combination of the well established Hashin and Shtrikman [1962] bounds and Archi ...

Cadmium adsorption to mixtures of soil components: Testing the component additivity approach

Daniel Scott Alessi

The ability to predict the distribution of metals in geologic systems requires a modeling approach that can describe the competition among adsorbing surfaces for the metal of interest. In this study, we test if a component additivity (CA) surface complexat ...

Using geotypes for landslide hazard assessment and mapping: a coupled field and GIS-based method

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Switzerland is exceptionally subjected to landslides; indeed, about 10% of its area is considered as unstable. Making this observation, its Department of the Environment (BAFU) introduces in 1997 a method to realize landslide hazard maps. It is routinely u ...

Geological characterization of cataclastic rock samples using medical X-ray computerized tomography : towards a better geotechnical description

Technical difficulties associated with tunnelling operations in tectonized geological settings are frequently encountered. They may include instantaneous and delayed cavity convergence, sudden collapse of walls or roof of a gallery, outpouring of fault-fil ...

Geological heterogeneity in landslides : characterization and flow modelling

Significant progress has been made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological numerical flow modelling for describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of landslides. However, these new sophisticated methods are still very seldom used in the problem ...
