Overview

Graham Yielding is affiliated with Badley Geoscience Ltd in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on various aspects of engineering, earth and planetary sciences, and environmental science, with a significant emphasis on geophysics, mechanics of materials, and mechanical and ocean engineering.

Their work covers a number of specialized topics including:

  • Hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis
  • Hydraulic fracturing and reservoir analysis
  • Seismic imaging and inversion techniques
  • Drilling and well engineering
  • Earthquake and tectonic studies
  • Methane hydrates and related phenomena
  • Atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics

Yielding has published research in several venues, with Petroleum Geoscience being the most frequent publication outlet. Other notable publication venues include the Journal of Structural Geology, AAPG Bulletin, and Ground Water.

Recent papers by Yielding include:

  • "Fault seal modelling - the influence of fluid properties on fault sealing capacity in hydrocarbon and CO 2 systems," 2020, Petroleum Geoscience
  • "Along-strike permeability variation in carbonate-hosted fault zones," 2020, Journal of Structural Geology
  • "Key controls on the hydraulic properties of fault rocks in carbonates," 2020, Petroleum Geoscience
  • "An empirical approach to estimating hydrocarbon column heights for improved predrill volume prediction in hydrocarbon exploration," 2021, AAPG Bulletin
  • "Fault and top seals thematic collection: a perspective," 2021, Petroleum Geoscience

Their frequent co-authors include I. Kaminskaite, Q.J. Fisher, Rūta Karolytė, Gareth Johnson, and Stuart Gilfillan. These collaborations indicate ongoing research activities in fault behavior, hydrocarbon systems, and reservoir properties.
