Abstract: Abstract Sandstone intrusions form large bedding-discordant sandstones that intruded into finer grained, less permeable host strata. They form naturally sand-propped hydraulic fractures that constitute a connected network of permeable conduits through which fluids escape to… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Conical sandstone intrusions, as a distinct type of hydrocarbon reservoir, remain poorly understood regarding their emplacement mechanics. Here, we report a numerical modelling study of conical sandstone intrusions using the two-dimensional discrete element method.… read more here.

Abstract: Giant sand injection complexes (GSIs) are regionally developed in many petroleum systems and have become well known in deep-water clastic settings in the North Sea, California, offshore Angola, and elsewhere (Hurst and Cartwright, 2007; Huuse… read more here.
