Hydraulic fracturing is a key technique used to enhance subsurface reservoir permeability, with applications in oil and gas extraction, geothermal energy, and carbon sequestration. The closure phase of hydraulic fractures plays a critical role in determini ...

This study investigates experimentally hydraulic fracture propagation, arrest and closure in permeable rocks.Through a controlled laboratory experiment on a Molasse sandstone block under a true triaxial state of stress, hydraulic fracture propagation and c ...

We present a laboratory setup to test the energy budget of underground heat storage in an otherwise impermeable rock through engineered fractures, a so-called Fracture Thermal Energy Storage (FTES) system. A hydraulic fracture is first created in a cubic s ...

Depending on the type of fracture propagation regime when the injection stops, the closure of the fracture may occur exactly after the injection ceases, in the case where the fracturing process is dominated by fracture energy, or the fracture propagate for ...

This study observed hydraulic fracture propagation, arrest, and closure in permeable rocks. The experiment was conducted on a Molasse sandstone block in a true triaxial state of stress. The study monitored fracture opening at the wellbore and fluid pressur ...
