Injection-induced seismicity has become a major barrier to the development of geothermal
energy, because the complexity of fault behaviors and the lack of physical fundamentals …

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 …

Earthquake swarms attributed to subsurface fluid injection are usually assumed to occur on
faults destabilized by increased pore-fluid pressures. However, fluid injection could also …

Shear stimulation, so‐called hydroshearing, is believed to reactivate critical or near‐critical
preexisting fractures by pressurized fluid injection, causing them to slip and dilate for …

Understanding the response of faults to the injection of high-pressure fluids is important for
several subsurface applications, for example, geologic carbon sequestration or energy …

To clarify the shear-slip process and characteristics of fault, we conducted triaxial shear tests
driven by displacement on shale samples with prefabricated sawcut and natural fractures …

We explore the impacts of stress-and fluid-pressure-driven frictional slip on variably
roughened faults in Gonghe granite (Qinghai Province, China). Slip is on an inclined fault …

Understanding the shear-induced evolution of aperture size is critical for controlling fracture
permeability in rock engineering projects. This study reports a robust procedure to evaluate …

The permeability of shale in unconventional subsurface reservoirs under high-temperature
and high effective stress conditions is of great significance for evaluating the extraction …

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