Geological history and fracture network characterization in unconventional reservoirs of the McArthur Basin (NT Australia)

The geological history of the McArthur Basin (NT Australia) is poorly understood. It consists of five onshore Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic packages with mainly siliciclastic and carbonate rocks, with cumulative thicknesses up to 15km. The basin contains the world’s oldest hydrocarbons, principally hosted in unconventional...

Semi-automatic fold detection in geological outcrops using Laser Scanning data: Applied to a limestone-marl sequences in the Vocontian Basin, France

Geological surveying is a common practice performed by geologists nowadays. Determining layer orientation parameters and identifying folds are examples of features needed in order to create a geological map or model of the (sub) surface. Surveying is expensive and time consuming, therefore such survey is recently being investigated and...
