A prototype geological model for outcrop multi-stage fracture-karst evolution: Implications for fluid flow heterogeneity in Ordovician carbonates, NW Tarim Basin
Key Points
Fluid flow heterogeneity is identified within the proposed geological model.
The model demonstrates multi-stage fracture-karst evolution in Ordovician carbonates.
Analysis suggests complex interactions affecting fluid pathways in the rock formation.
Implications highlight potential challenges in resource extraction due to fluid flow variability.
