Freezing by liquid nitrogen (LN 2) can noticeably alter the rock structure of rocks, which can
find application in the extraction of clean natural gas for shale gas reservoirs. More natural …

Cryogenic shock-induced brittle cracking has promising application prospects in reservoir
stimulation. In this paper, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) model combined …

Abstract Liquid nitrogen (LN 2) fracturing, as a waterless and environmentally friendly
fracturing technology, has a broad application prospect in coalbed methane (CBM) …

Cryogenic fracturing with liquid nitrogen (LN 2) has been recognized as a potential and
promising waterless fracturing technique for coalbed methane extraction, owing to the …

The benefits of using cryogenic liquid nitrogen shock to enhance coal permeability have
been confirmed from experimental perspectives. In this paper, we develop a fully coupled …

A warming environment is promoting the thawing process in ice‐rich moraine soils in cold
alpine regions, thereby accelerating the formation/development of geohazards in these …

The hypermobility of a large landslide makes it usually a catastrophic event whose
mechanism is, however, not yet completely understood. As for supraglacial rock avalanches …

Gas hydrates have become a new focus in resource exploration and development.
However, the sand production problem in the exploitation process of gas hydrate reservoirs …

In this study, a fully coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) model was developed
considering the latent heat of phase transition and expansion strain, to investigate the water …
