Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) allow for worldwide geothermal electricity production. They target deep (3-5 km), fractured rock reservoirs whose permeability is artificially increased through hydraulic stimulations (fluid injections). The injections mod ...
Geo-energy is a comprehensive term used to describe any form of energy that comes from the Earth. This includes hydrocarbons such as gas, oil, and coal, but also geothermal energy (shallow and deep). The focus of this thesis is on Enhanced Geothermal Syste ...
Hydraulic fracturing involves injecting water under high pressure into the bedrock formation to enhance permeability of deep geo-reservoirs. Faults are planar discontinuities cutting the reservoirs, and their reactivation during injection depends of their ...
Geologic carbon storage, as well as other geo-energy applications, such as geothermal energy, seasonal natural gas storage and subsurface energy storage imply fluid injection and/or extraction that causes changes in rock stress field and may induce (micro) ...
Hydraulic fracturing is frequently used in the oil and gas industry to increase the permeability of rocks. Its application for Enhanced Geothermal Systems still faces many challenges such as the occurrence of induced seismicity and the difficulty to collec ...
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 ...
Faults in the brittle crust constitute preexisting weakness zones that can be reactivated depending on their friction, orientation within the local stress field, and stress field magnitude. Analytical approaches to evaluate the potential for fault reactiva ...
Water uptake of gas shales is commonly considered one of the most important factors responsible for fluid loss during flowback operations after hydraulic fracturing. Imbibition experiments cover a key role in this context to analyze the impact of several f ...
In this contribution, we explore different aspects of the multi-stage fracturing process such as stress interaction between growing hydraulic fractures, perforation and near-wellbore tortuosity effects as well as the wellbore flow dynamics using a fit-for- ...
Depletion-induced seismicity can pose a problem in some fluid-producing subsurface reservoirs, in some cases requiring production rate control in order to limit the seismicity. This study investigates the use of reservoir stimulation to reduce the depletio ...
