Abstract Hydraulic stimulation of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) aims at boosting
permeability to facilitate fluid circulation, while keeping a low induced seismicity. However …

Flow through rock fractures is frequently represented using models that correct the cubic law
to account for the effects of roughness and contact area. However, the scope of such models …

This paper presents an alternative approach for estimating the Biot coefficient for the Grimsel
granite, which appeals to the multi-phasic mineralogical composition of the rock. The …

This work aims at investigating the effect of varying degrees of microfracturing on the joint
elastic and electrical transport properties of rocks. Different crustal rocks were subjected to …

We applied three oscillatory methods, the previously presented axial pore-pressure and
pore-flow methods, and the laboratory application of the radial oscillatory pore-flow method …

Liquid nitrogen (LN2) can be utilized in the development of enhanced geothermal systems,
as well as for deep/ultra-deep hydrocarbon reservoir stimulation, fire suppression, and other …

Many geoscientific problems require us to exploit synergies of experimental and numerical
approaches, which in turn lead to questions regarding the significance of experimental …

Granitic rock from the western part of the Canadian Shield is considered as a potential host
rock for the siting of a deep geological repository for the storage of heat-emitting high-level …

The permeability of intact geologic media features prominently in many geo-environmental
endeavours. The laboratory estimation of permeability is an important adjunct to the field …

Smectite clays occur in subduction zone fault cores at shallow depth (approximately 1 km;
eg, Japan Trench) and landslide décollements (eg, Vajont, Italy, 1963). The availability of …
