Geological carbon storage is one of the technologies required to arrive at the ambitious yet
realistic net-zero emission target and climate change neutrality. Injected CO 2 in geological …

Oscillations in stress, such as those created by earthquakes, can increase permeability and
fluid mobility in geologic media. In natural systems, strain amplitudes as small as 10− 6 can …

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

Fault-zone fluids control effective normal stress and fault strength. While most earthquake
models assume a fixed pore fluid pressure distribution, geologists have documented fault …

There is wide concern that fluid injection in the subsurface, such as for the stimulation of
shale reservoirs or for geological CO2 sequestration (GCS), has the potential to induce …

In a companion paper [Taron J, Elsworth D, Min KB. Numerical simulation of thermal–
hydrologic–mechanical–chemical processes in deformable, fractured porous media. Int J …

This chapter reviews field data on stress‐induced permeability changes in fractured rock;
describes the estimation of fractured rock stress‐permeability relationships through model …

We report flow-through experiments on a natural fracture in novaculite under moderate
effective stresses (∼ 1.4 MPa) and temperatures (20–120° C) to examine the effect on flow …

The hydraulic and heat transfer properties of artificial fracture networks are key to the
efficiency of energy production from geothermal reservoirs. To date, no conclusive view …

In this work, we present the application of a fully coupled hydro‐mechanical method to
investigate the effect of fracture heterogeneity on fluid flow through fractures at the laboratory …
