Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique that is used for extracting petroleum resources from
impermeable host rocks. In this process, fluid injected under high pressure causes fractures …

By utilizing stimulation technologies, the enhanced geothermal system has emerged as a
highly promising technology in harvesting geothermal energy. In this work, we provide a …

Mineral carbon storage in mafic and ultramafic rock masses has the potential to be an
effective and permanent mechanism to reduce anthropogenic CO2. Several successful pilot …

In enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), the natural permeability of deep rocks is normally
not high enough and needs to be increased. Permeability increase can be achieved through …

The history of reservoir stimulation to extract geothermal energy from low permeability rock
(ie so-called petrothermal or engineered geothermal systems, EGS) highlights the difficulty …

Injection-induced shear stimulation (commonly known as 'hydro-shearing') is often
implemented in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) to enhance the reservoir …

To offer key parameters and constitutive laws required for field-scale multiphysics
simulations that can accurately predict created fracture network structures in enhanced …

Stress-dependent fracture permeability could significantly affect oil and gas production,
underground CO 2 storage, and deep waste disposal containment. Yet, measurements to …

Multi-stage hydraulic stimulation experiments were conducted at the Bedretto Geothermal
Testbed (Switzerland) at a depth of over 1 km to study seismo-hydromechanical processes …

The success of geological carbon storage depends on the assurance of a permanent
confinement of the injected CO 2 in the storage formation at depth. One of the critical …
