Enhanced Geothermal Systems represent a major field of study in the context of renewable energy resources. To create extractable energy from those reservoirs, a high enough fluid flow rate for production needs to be achieved. This fluid flow rate is direct ...
Hydraulic stimulation is an engineering technique whose aim is to enhance the permeability of fractured rock masses at depths ranging from one to five kilometers. It consists in the injection of fluid at sufficiently high pressure in order to shear pre-exi ...
Understanding fluid flow in rough fractures is of high importance to large scale geologic processes and to most anthropogenic geo-energy activities. Here, we conducted fluid transport experiments on Carrara marble fractures with a novel customized surface ...
Interest in the hydraulic and mechanical characterization of shales has grown in recent years, because of their application in the context of energy geotechnics. In the frame of nuclear waste disposal shales are considered as host formations for the placem ...
We introduce the Reduced Immersed Method (RIM) for the real-time simulation of two-way coupled incompressible fluids and elastic solids and the interaction of multiple deformables with (self-)collisions. Our framework is based on a novel discretization of ...
Hydraulic fracturing is frequently used to increase the permeability of rock formations. This can be done by creating new fractures as usually done for hydrocarbon extraction or extending and opening fractures as usually done in Enhanced Geothermal Systems ...
Deviations from conventional hydraulic fracturing simulators’ predictions are sometimes observed in the field and laboratory. This questions the basic assumptions adopted in linear hydraulic fracture mechanics (LHFM): a linear elastic solid and a simplifie ...
An experimental study on the behaviour of shales in partially water saturated conditions is presented in this thesis. The Opalinus Clay shale and gas shales from different unconventional reservoirs have been studied. Opalinus Clay is currently considered a ...
Elastic properties of gas shales are fundamental for the geomechanical characterization of unconventional reservoirs. Due to the presence of microcracks, a non-linear elastic behaviour with hysteresis is usually exhibited when gas shales are subjected to u ...
