Quantification of the systemic permeability of geothermal reservoirs is essential to the
assessment of their economic feasibility. Here we investigate experimentally the role of …

With the increasing requirement of maintaining world energy security and strategic reserves,
oil storage and transportation facilities are being built at a large scale. Taking the safe and …

Damage zones exist around crustal faults, where micro-and macrocracks coexist and form a
complex conduit network for fluid flow. The permeability of these zones can change rapidly …

Natural fractures in rock masses commonly feature filling properties, which greatly impact
the process of fluid flow and mass transport in the geological disposal of high-level …

With the increasing requirement of international energy security, oil storage projects have
been constructed in large numbers, but leaking petroleum-based contaminants are …

The disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) is one of the most challenging issues
globally, and granite is considered an ideal host rock. In this paper, we present an …

The permeability of volcanic rock controls the distribution of pore fluids and pore fluid
pressure within a volcanic edifice, and is therefore considered to influence eruptive style and …

The growing importance of develo** high-level radioactive waste disposal technologies
has led to the increasing use of geological disposal methods. In this regard, nuclides can …

It is very important to notice clay minerals, for resource development, stability evaluation of
underground utilization, and others. However, few quantitative data on the effects of clay …

To ensure the safe geological disposal of radioactive waste, it is important to determine the
permeability (hydraulic conductivity) of clays. The transient pulse method is suitable for low …
