Paper presented at the 58th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, June 23–26, 2024
Paper Number: ARMA-2024-0396
... ABSTRACT: A true tri-axial experiment was conducted to simulated hydraulic fracture propagating process with a 30 cm cubic block cement sample. At the same time, optic fiber in the cement sample recorded strain signals. In this paper, a fiber strain/strain rate calculation method based...

Paper Number: ARMA-2024-0428
... ABSTRACT: Recent analytic work (Peirce and Detournay, 2022a) has established the tip asymptotics for receding hydraulic fractures that close due to leak-off to the permeable rock. This asymptotic result enabled the development of rigorous numerical schemes to explore the recession dynamics...

Paper Number: ARMA-2024-0516
... data coupling method was developed. Using the "geology-engineering" coupling platform, the geological modeling software Petrel, and the high-precision numerical simulation software AiFrac were integrated. Then, the AiFrac-TOUGH numerical simulation program was used to perform hydraulic fracturing...

Paper Number: ARMA-2024-0540
... ABSTRACT: 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 specimen of Zimbabwe Gabbro...

Paper Number: ARMA-2024-0560
... ABSTRACT: The deep coalbed methane (CBM) is a prominent area for the exploration and development of unconventional gas resources. However, there is insufficient propagation of hydraulic fractures within the coal-mudstone interbed, resulting in the restricted stimulated volume. The impacts...

... discontinuity method (DDM) and Eulerian-Eulerian framework (E-E), which considers perforation erosion, dynamic flow rate distributions in wellbore, fracturing fluid leak-off, stress interactions, proppant settling, and proppant bridging. The numerical results show that most hydraulic fractures propagate...

... in both directions for potential hydraulic fracturing initiation (longitudinal and transverse) due to cooldown. Such stress alteration is largely dependent on the duration of cooldown. Furthermore, the thermally induced stresses diminish with the increased waiting (warmup) time before hydraulic fracturing...
