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 …

Induced seismicity associated with fluid injection into underground formations jeopardizes
the sustainable utilization of the subsurface. Understanding the fault behavior is the key to …

We studied the elastic moduli, ductile creep behavior, and brittle strength of shale-gas
reservoir rocks from Barnett, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, and Fort St. John shale in a series of …

Shear deformation and break is a typical failure phenomenon of engineering rock. Building
a constitutive model for rock shearing behaviors is a key issue in stability assessment of …

We performed laboratory friction experiments on shale samples from three hydrocarbon
reservoirs to assess compositional controls on fault slip behavior accompanying hydraulic …

Abstract The San Andreas fault accommodates 28–34 mm yr− 1 of right lateral motion of the
Pacific crustal plate northwestward past the North American plate. In California, the fault is …

The statistics of large earthquakes commonly involve large uncertainties due to the lack of
long‐term, robust earthquake recordings. Small‐scale seismic events are abundant and can …

Understanding the physical mechanisms governing fluid‐induced fault slip is important for
improved mitigation of seismic risks associated with large‐scale fluid injection. We …

The **anshuihe fault is one of the most tectonically active faults in the eastern Tibetan
plateau. Understanding its slip behaviour and frictional properties is essential for …

Geological heterogeneity is abundant in crustal fault zones; however, its role in controlling
the mechanical behaviour of faults is poorly constrained. Here, we present laboratory friction …
