Basement highs: definitions, characterisation and origins
Peacock, David; Banks, Graham (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A glossary of commonly used terms related to the geometric forms and geological settings of basement highs is presented to assist cross-disciplinary understanding, qualifying prefixes for the term basement are discussed ... -
Causes of bias and uncertainty in fracture network analysis
Peacock, David; Sanderson, David J.; Bastesen, Eivind; Rotevatn, Atle; Storstein, Tor H (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-24)Fault and fracture networks are analysed to determine the deformation history and to help with such applications as engineering geology and fluidflow modelling. These analyses rely on quantifying such factors as length, ... -
Liverpool Land Basement High, Greenland: Visualising inputs for fractured crystalline basement reservoir models
Banks, Graham; Bernstein, Stefan; Salehi, Sara; Guarnieri, Pierpaolo; Bird, Dennis; Hamblett, Catherine; Peacock, David; Foster, Jonathan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-22)Basement highs are large structural features, commonly buried in sedimentary basins (Busby & Azor 2012). They are of interest for natural resources exploration and research because of their ability to influence migration ... -
Quantifying structural controls on fluid flow: Insights from carbonate-hosted fault damage zones on the Maltese Islands
Dimmen, Vilde; Rotevatn, Atle; Peacock, David; Nixon, Casey William; Nærland, Kari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08)Structural complexity along faults (e.g., relay zones, fault intersections and jogs) exert strong controls on fluid flow, yet few attempts have been made to quantify and visualise such relationships. This paper does that ... -
Structure and flow properties of syn-rift border faults: The interplaybetween fault damage and fault-related chemical alteration (Dombjerg Fault, Wollaston Forland, NE Greenland)
Kristensen, Thomas Berg; Rotevatn, Atle; Henstra, Gijs Allard; Peacock, David; Midtkandal, Ivar; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-11)Structurally controlled, syn-rift, clastic depocentres are of economic interest as hydrocarbon reservoirs; understanding the structure of their bounding faults is of great relevance, e.g. in the assessment of fault-controlled ...
