Naturally Fractured Eocene Flints [PDF]
Nature, 1920 AT a meeting of the Geological Society of London, held on May 5, Mr. S. Hazzledine Warren read a paper entitled “A Natural Eolith Factory beneath the Thanet Sand.” The discovery of flints fractured by natural pressure at the base of the Eocene is not, however, a novel experience, as, in 1910, M. l'Abbe H. Breuil described (“Sur la presence d'Eolithes a

Hydraulic fracture propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs: Complex fracture or fracture networks [PDF]
Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2019 Understanding the behavior of fluid-driven hydraulic fracture in naturally fractured reservoirs is crucial in the development of geothermal energy and unconventional reservoirs. This study presents a fully-coupled numerical model to investigate hydraulic propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs, along with a comprehensive discussion on field ...

Reactivation of natural fractures network by hydraulic fracturing [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Modelling the process of induced fracture initiation, propagation and interaction with natural fractures is a very challenged task. Significant progress has been made in recent years in the development of complex fracture models to address the needs for more suitable design tools than the conventional planar fracture models.

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...
