On the effects of fluid pressure variations on rock-mass and fault mechanical behaviour
In the past 20 years, the growing interest in deep geo-reservoirs for purposes such as carbon storage, waste water disposal, or geothermal energy exploitation have led to large-volume fluid injections into the upper continental crust. These fluid injection ...
EPFL2021Geometrical control of fluid flow through single carbonate fracture
Fluid flow through single rough surface is critical for many geophysical processes and engineering applications. Thus, relations between flow and surrounding fracture geometry will be investigated. Four pairs of engineered Carrara marble surfaces with diff ...
2020Porosity evolution at the brittle-ductile transition in the continental crust: Implications for deep hydro-geothermal circulation
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta, Michael Heap
Recently, projects have been proposed to engineer deep geothermal reservoirs in the ductile crust. To examine their feasibility, we performed high-temperature (up to 1000 degrees C), high-pressure (130 MPa) triaxial experiments on granite (initially-intact ...
