Structural diagenesis of deep carbonate rocks controlled by intra‐cratonic strike‐slip faulting: An example in the Shunbei area of the Tarim Basin, NW China

Abstract

Faulting can produce spatial contrasts in porosity and permeability that affect fluid flow. Understanding the origins and characteristics of these heterogeneities facilitates hydrocarbon exploration and development, geothermal energy, and subsurface carbon dioxide storage (Caine
