Fracture distribution in a folded fluvial succession: The Puig-reig anticline (south-eastern Pyrenees)

Xiaolong Sun et al.

Summary: Sedimentary rocks in foreland fold-and-thrust belts experience intensive fracturing as folds grow, leading to significant variations in fracture networks depending on sedimentary facies distribution and complex structural characteristics. The Puig-reig anticline in the southeastern Pyrenees provides a case study for investigating the controls on fracture networks in folded fluvial deposits, with different fracture characteristics observed in different structural positions and lithofacies. The study reveals that fracture intensity is mainly influenced by structural position, bedding thickness, and lithological associations, while fracture length depends on bedding thickness and lithological associations, and fracture apertures are mainly controlled by lithofacies.
