Mineral composition and content analysis of selected trace elements (Ag, As, Ba, Be, Br, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Ga, I, La, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, Ti, Tl, U, V, and Zn; 308 rock samples) were studied in the Upper Permian (Zechstein)...
The 1 km thick evaporitic Permian Zechstein group in the Netherlands is subdivided into 5 halite rich evaporitic sequences including K–Mg salts (polyhalite, kieserite, sylvite, carnallite and bischofite) for which the position in the Zechstein strati...
This paper presents laboratory studies based on which a stimulation technology for an oil field located in the Zechstein Main Dolomite was investigated. A large number of oil wells in the Main Dolomite produce significant amounts of reservoir water....
This article presents a novel methodology for data integration including laboratory data, the results of standard well logging measurements and interpretation and the interpretation of XRMI imager data for determination of the porosity and permeabili...
Exploration for hydrocarbon reservoirs is currently focused on increasingly difficult targets and geological structures, thus stimulating a growing requirement for new measurement methods and techniques that can provide more detailed information abou...
Permeability characterizes the ability of rocks to store and transport natural gas, crude oil and reservoir fluids. Permeability heterogeneity of reservoir rocks, including dolomites, results from overlapping geological and physicochemical processes....
This paper presents a new instrument in geological exploration, which uses historical geophysical data for the indication of potential zones of the occurrence of Cu-Ag ore, based on the example of the newly discovered Nowa Sól deposit in south...
Lithium occurrences were detected in Upper Permian (Zechstein) salt rocks and saline solutions of the Gorleben and Morsleben salt structures, northern Germany. The brine occurrences were mainly connected to anhydrite rock-bearing formations and to li...
In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of walkaway vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data, which can be used to obtain Thomsen parameters using P-wave-only inversion. Data acquisition took place in difficult field conditions, which influenced t...
In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the possibility of using unsupervised machine learning techniques for reservoir interpretation based on the parameters obtained from geophysical measurements that are related to the elastic properties...
The mineralization of groundwater within the Żary pericline exhibits a broad range, from 0.2 to 0.3 g/L up to 401 g/L, with the majority classified as brines. These waters are predominantly chloride-rich, characterized by variable concentrations...
Polish sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits associated with Zechstein sediments are one of the country’s most valuable natural resources and the basis for its copper industry. The paper presents the history of their research and current e...
Reserves totaling ~142 BCM (5 TCF) of natural gas trapped in 306 fields and ~22 MTOE (~157 MMBOE) of crude oil in 87 fields have been discovered. The prospection, exploration, and production of hydrocarbons are licensed: an entity interested in these...
The authors discuss a case that is full of examples of the problems faced by civil engineers whose task is to develop areas in the face of natural, technological, or post-mining hazards. The study area is in the central part of Inowrocław, a tow...
Together with renewable energy sources, nuclear power represents an important contribution to a sustainable energy mix in many countries and has an important impact on sustainable development. Nuclear energy production is also a source of high-level...
The Permian Kupferschiefer shale, a key stratigraphic unit within the Zechstein sequence of the Fore-Sudetic Monocline, represents both a metal-rich lithofacies and a potential source rock for hydrocarbon generation. This study presents a comprehensi...
We applied geochemical (ICP-MS, WD-XRF, GFAAS, and AMA 254) and mineralogical (EPMA) studies of 137 samples to ore mineralization from Middle-Triassic sediment-hosted Zn-Pb (Mississippi Valley-type MVT) and Lower Zechstein sediment-hosted stratiform...
