... ABSTRACT: The transitional nature of the so-called soft sandstones presents challenges to the understanding of their mechanical response and to the safety of storage and extraction operations. This paper aims to analyse and interpret fluid injection experiments in artificially cemented...

... the fracture opening, and it is difficult for the sand to invade the proppant layer. The proppant injection experiment showed that increasing the flow rate allowed the proppant to be injected more smoothly. 1. INTRODUCTION As a potential unconventional natural gas resource, methane hydrate has received...

... Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of injection experiments carried out on basaltic tuff cores from the Newberry geothermal field. A combination of triaxial and injection experiments were performed on the cores to characterize their goemechanical properties and to better...

... ABSTRACT: An injection experiment was conducted to investigate the pressure domain within which hydromechanical coupling significantly influences the hydrologic behavior of a granite rock mass. The resulting data base is used for testing a numerical model dedicated to the analysis...
