Scaling of fracture systems in geological media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Scaling in fracture systems has become an active field of research in the last 25 years motivated by practical applications in hazardous waste disposal, hydrocarbon reservoir management, and earthquake hazard assessment.

Existence of solutions to a regularized model of dynamic fracture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Existence and convergence results are proved for a regularized model of dynamic brittle fracture based on the Ambrosio–Tortorelli approximation. We show that the sequence of solutions to the time-discrete elastodynamics, proposed by Bourdin, Larsen ...

Numerical and Experimental Investigations of the Interactions between Hydraulic and Natural Fractures in Shale Formations

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Natural fractures (NFs) have been recognized as the dominant factors that increase hydraulic fracture complexity and reservoir productivity. However, the interactions between hydraulic and natural fractures are far from being fully understood.

The Natural Fracture of Flint [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1912
SIR E. RAY LANKESTER, K.C.B., in his learned and comprehensive article in NATURE of November 21, has suggested the various lines of research which it will be necessary to follow if a thorough-going knowledge of the mode of origin, structure, and fracture of flint is to be obtained.

Mechanisms for the Generation of Complex Fracture Networks: Observations From Slant Core, Analog Models, and Outcrop

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
We use observations of hydraulic fractures in core, outcrop attributes of natural hydraulic fractures, and analogue models, to address how hydraulic fracture networks evolve.

Fracturing Fluid Leak-off for Deep Volcanic Rock in Zhungeer Basin: Mechanism and Control Method

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
The deep volcanic reservoir in Zhungeer Basin is buried in over 4000m depth, which is characterized by complex lithology (breccia, andesite, basalt, etc.), high elastic modulus and massive natural fractures.

Prediction of natural fracture distribution characteristics in tight oil and gas reservoirs based on paleotectonic stress field

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2023
The production of fractured oil and gas reservoirs in the world accounts for more than half of total oil and gas production and is one of the important fields for increasing oil and gas storage and production in the 21st century.

Experimental study on the shear‐slip characteristics of natural fractures in shale reservoirs

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2022
The injection of high‐pressure fluid and the propagation of hydraulic fractures (HF) can impact the stress state of natural fractures (NF) in shale reservoirs, which will lead to shear slip in NF that are in a critical stress state.
