• Fossil overpressures compartments? A case study from the Eifel area and some general aspects 

      Hilgers, ChristophORCIDiD; Bücker, Carsten; Urai, Janos L.ORCIDiD (11. Symposium "Tektonik, Struktur- und Kristallingeologie", 2006-03)
      Fluid overpressures are well known from hydrocarbon exploration in many sedimentary basins. They can reach almost lithostatic values, and may cause the fracturing of rock. Fracturing allows the discharge of fluid overpressure, ...
    • Fracture sealing in limestones, a microstructural and mineralogical study 

      Chatziliadou, Maria; Hilgers, ChristophORCIDiD; Sindern, Sven (11. Symposium "Tektonik, Struktur- und Kristallingeologie", 2006-03)
      Fractures significantly enhance the flow rate in rocks, if fracture density is high (Taylor 1999, Cox et al. 2001). This leads to rapid flux along a hydraulic gradient from high to low pressure reservoirs, and is represented ...
    • Microstructures of fibrous halite veins 

      Hilgers, ChristophORCIDiD; Pennock, Gill; Schléder, Zsolt; Burliga, Stansilaw; Urai, Janos L.ORCIDiD (11. Symposium "Tektonik, Struktur- und Kristallingeologie", 2006-03)
      Halite veins hosted in clastic sedimentary rocks are frequently observed next to evaporite layers. Their microstructure can be enhanced by gamma irradiation and etching, which can be used to infer the deformation mechanism of ...
