Rock mechanical properties under reconstructed deep in situ thermo–hydro–mechanical conditions: Implications for CO₂‐related injection scenarios

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates a reconstructed in situ thermo‐hydro‐mechanical (THM) framework in which porosity serves as the central variable linking stress, pore pressure, and temperature to evolving mechanical properties of rocks. Under burial conditions, in situ stress, pore pressure, and temperature jointly govern volumetric strain and ...

Combination of CO 2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ storage and geothermal energy production in porous and fractured superhot geothermal systems

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract depicts the workflow for porous‐ and fractured‐media simulations, where stochastically generated discrete natural fractures are required for the fracture‐media simulation. Abstract CO 2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ leakage is one of the main risks and barriers to geologic carbon storage. However, under the high‐temperature and high‐pressure

Development of a Plan to Implement Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in the Animas Valley, New Mexico - Final Report - 07/26/2000 - 02/01/2001 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The concept of producing energy from hot dry rock (HDR), originally proposed in 1971 at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, contemplated the generation of electric power by injecting water into artificially created fractures in subsurface rock formations

Geological carbon dioxide storage in the German North Sea: Static‐to‐dynamic capacity refinement for a 10 Mt/y injection scenario

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study assesses whether a saline aquifer in the German North Sea can sustain industrial‐scale CO2 injection at 10 Mt/year over 30 years. A 3D reservoir model is used to compare static capacity with dynamically achievable storage. The work links site‐scale injection strategy design with basin‐scale pressure response, providing a framework for ...

Modeling proppant transport and settling in a 3D propagating fracture

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A versatile multiphysics tool is presented for simulating the complex processes involved in hydraulic fracturing treatments. The model couples fracture opening and propagation, variable‐density slurry flow, and proppant particle transport within the multiphysics object‐oriented simulation environment framework, based on two‐phase mixture equations and ...

Geothermo‐mechanical alterations due to heat energy extraction in enhanced geothermal systems: Overview and prospective directions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering
Geothermal energy from deep underground (or geological) formations, with or without its combination with carbon capture and storage (CCS), can be a key technology to mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and meet the 2050 net‐zero carbon ...

Modeling and monitoring injectivity evolution during cold CO2 injection with field evidence from aquistore carbon capture and storage operations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This work integrates 5 years of field data from the Aquistore CCS project with a non‐isothermal THM modeling framework to explain how cold CO2 injection alters injectivity over time. The study shows that sustained cooling near the wellbore reduces effective stresses, promotes tensile micro‑cracking, and leads to semi‑reversible permeability enhancement

Hydrological constraints on the potential of enhanced geothermal systems in the ductile crust

open access: yesGeothermal Energy
Continental crust at temperatures > 400 °C and depths > 10–20 km normally deforms in a ductile manner, but can become brittle and permeable in response to changes in temperature or stress state induced by fluid injection.
