Patterns and Failure Modes of Fractures Resulting From Forced Folding of Cohesive Caprocks – Comparison of 2D vs. 3D and Single-vs. Multi-Layered Analog Experiments

Abstract: Knowledge of the formation mechanisms and geometries of fracture systems in sedimentary rocks is crucial for understanding local and basin-scale fluid migration. Complex fracture networks can be caused by, for instance, forced folding of a competent sediment layer in response to magmatic sill intrusion, remobilisation of fluidized sand or fluid overpressure in underlying porous reservoir formations. The opening modes and geometries of the fractures mainly determine the bulk permeability and sealing capacity of… Show more

“…n is the number of fracture traces mapped. Exp1B and Exp2B (Warsitzka et al 2022) and SPCTIN06 (Poppe et al 2019), showing its evolution can be described by power-law or exponential relationships. Reductions in connectivity may be attributed to resurfacing of the forced fold by erupted products (see Fig.…”

“…However, there are some uncertainties in the measurement of forced fold length and amplitude: (1) we can rarely establish the original surface topography prior to emplacement and folding, so often cannot accurately constrain true amplitudes; (2) syn-or post-emplacement deposition of sediments or resurfacing by lavas may alter apparent forced fold heights or regional base levels (e.g. Dobb et al 2022;Warsitzka et al 2022) ; (3) fold crests may have been eroded (e.g. Hansen and Cartwright 2006); and/or (4) measurements from 2D seismic reflection data, which are rarely depth-converted and decompacted (Magee et al 2019), or physical model crosssections may not intersect forced fold maximum amplitude or length (e.g.…”

“…Wellbore instability failure is usually divided into two categories, one is a shear failure, and the other is a tension failure. The current research focuses on shear failure (Zhao et al, 2021;Hou et al, 2022b;Hou et al, 2022c;Warsitzka et al, 2022), while the strength of extension is frequently used in analyzing tensile failure for wellbore instability during testing and production (Tan et al, 2021;Hou et al, 2022d;Sun et al, 2022;Hou et al, 2022e;Huang et al, 2023).…”
