Fluid Flow and Transport in Rocks: An Overview

  • Chapter
Fluid Flow and Transport in Rocks

Abstract

The geological sciences have become increasingly process-orientated. Our understanding of physical and chemical processes within more or less inaccessible parts of the earth has evolved from guesswork to the development of concepts and models that in some cases deserve the term scientific. It has become increasingly clear that the evolution of the earth’s crust is strongly affected by the actions of fluids, including liquids, gases and supercritical fluids, and there have been a number of recent books dealing with aspects of fluids in the crust, following the pioneering synthesis of Fyfe, Price and Thompson (1978); for example Walther and Wood (1986), Helgeson (1987), Bredehoeft and Norton (1990), Tarney et al. (1991), Phillips (1991), Parnell (1994), Shmulovich, Yardley and Gonchar (1995), in addition to the more specialist literature of the geothermal and hydrocarbon energy industries.
