A fully-coupled highly-parallelized geomechanical simulator for assessing induced seismicity

Jean-François Molinari, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Guillaume Anciaux, Nicolas Richart, Emil Gallyamov

Induced seismicity caused by anthropogenic modification of the subsurface effective stress state has been observed in a number of industrial applications -- from hydrocarbon extraction (e.g., Groningen [1]), drilling waste-water disposal (e.g., [2]) to the ...

The stress state is an important parameter in terms of both earthquake nucleation and rupture. Here, a new stimulation technique is proposed for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs), which have previously been burdened with a number of high-profile incidence ...

Ascent and movement of buoyant fluids in the lithosphere

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo

Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compressive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the developm ...

Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compres- sive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the develo ...

Three-dimensional hydraulic fracture propagation in homogeneous and heterogeneous media

Carlo Peruzzo

Hydraulic fractures are tensile fractures that occur in solid materials due to the natural intrusion or anthropogenic injection of a viscous fluid into a fracture channel. The deliberate creation of hydraulic fractures is part of an industrial technology h ...

EPFL2023

Subsurface fluid injections are commonly accompanied by seismicity which can sometimes result in earthquakes of relatively large magnitude that pose a serious hazard for the geo-energy industry. Current efforts to manage the seismic risk associated with fl ...

Can a bi-lateral stress jump really arrest the height growth of a hydraulic fracture?

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo, Barnaby Padraig Fryer

In certain industrial applications, vertical growth of hydraulic fractures beyond a targeted formation of interest can cause economic loss and pose a risk to environmentally sensitive layers [1]. In addition, when micro hydraulic fracturing is used to meas ...

Bounding the localized to ductile transition in porous rocks: implications for geo-reservoirs

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Gabriel Gérard Dominique Meyer

Porous rocks have long been the focus of intense research driven by their importance in our society as host to our most essential resources (oil, gas, water, geothermal energy, etc), yet their rheology remains poorly understood. With increasing depth, poro ...

Three-dimensional fluid-driven frictional ruptures: theory and applications

Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe

Fluid-driven frictional ruptures are important in a broad range of subsurface engineering technologies and natural earthquake-related phenomena. Some examples of subsurface operations where borehole fluid injections can induce frictional slip are deep geot ...
