T78. Interplay between deformation, fluid flow and fluid-rock interactions in sedimentary rocks: implications for seismicity, basin analysis and reservoir characterization

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

Sedimentary rocks cover most of the Earth's surface and are deposited in different tectonic-geodynamic settings and depositional environments. The combined study of deformation mechanisms, diagenetic processes, and fluid flow patterns affecting sedimentary rocks has crucial importance for both scientific research and the global economy. Sedimentary rocks represent strategic targets for resource supply (groundwater, geothermal energy, hydrocarbons, ore deposits), underground gas storage (anthropogenic CO2, H2), as well as risk evaluation (groundwater contaminant transport). Moreover, the study of sedimentary rocks is essential in climate change mitigation through greenhouse gas sequestration from the atmosphere to the geosphere.
We encourage contributions to this session by submitting original multidisciplinary research lines dealing with the following topics:
  • Analysis of meso- and micro-scale brittle deformation affecting sedimentary rocks deformed in various tectonic settings, under different kinematics and depths of deformation.
  • Relationships between brittle structures (i.e., faults, deformation bands, joints, veins, and stylolites) and selective diagenetic processes (i.e., cementation, dissolution, and mineral replacement).
  • Fluid-rock interaction processes active at different depths and time from rock deposition to final exposure.
  • Definition and quantification of fluid flow patterns both through numerical modeling as well as direct measurements of petrophysical-hydraulic properties.
