Introduction Two methods of stress measurements were standardized in 2009 by the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS) in Japan. Those are (i...

... analysis for cavity expansion of a thick-walled cylinder is performed to predict the borehole pressure versus volume relationship. The critical pressure corresponding to the onset of bifurcation is compared with the peak injection pressure obtained from the numerical simulations. enhanced recovery...

... Abstract Experimental study of a two cutters PDC bit-rock interaction shows that increase in the confining pressure reduces ROP through two mechanisms. The negative influences of confining pressure on the bit performance in addition to the rock strengthening under elevated borehole pressure...

The borehole pressure was enhanced gradually, upon 0.3 mm displacement of pump piston between each step, until failure occurs. Constant oil confinement of 5 MPa was exerted...

... and fracturing was performed by increasing the borehole pressure. The tests included acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. AE, appearing during fracturing, is basically an elastic wave that is produced by sudden internal stress redistribution due to the change in the internal structure. Such structural ARMA 13-513...

ABSTRACT: For the stress measurement by hydrofracturing, the observed borehole pressures of Pr and Ps, i.e. the reopening and shut-in pressures, should be related independently to the maximum stress SH and the minimum stress Sh, and the independent relationships give the principle for the two...

... their paths. While the crack length is largely determined by the borehole pressure generated by the explo- sion and the consequent gas flow into the propagating cracks, the crack path is significantly dependent on the existing in-situ stresses.

Owing to storage of compressible gas within the borehole prior to breakout, the fracturing process is not driven by a constant pressure nor by a constant flow rate. The borehole pressure and the nearly constant flow...
