DOI: 10.1016/j.jsg.2017.09.006
Abstract: Abstract In fractured reservoirs in the basement of extensional basins, fault and fracture parameters like density, spacing and length distribution are key properties for modelling and prediction of reservoir properties and fluids flow. As only… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/adgeo-49-197-2019
Abstract: Abstract. In this study we make use of 3-D hydraulic simulations to investigate the regional groundwater flow in the Upper Rhine Graben. The modeling is based on an existing detailed 3-D structural model covering the… read more here.
