• The Role of Rock Matrix Permeability in Controlling Hydraulic Fracturing in Sandstones 

      Fazio, MarcoORCIDiD; Ibemesi, Peter; Benson, Philip; Bedoya-González, Diego; Sauter, Martin (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2021-07-30)
      A concomitant effect of a hydraulic fracturing experimenting is frequently fluid permeation into the rock matrix, with the injected fluid permeating through the porous rock matrix (leak-off) rather than contributing to the ...
    • Verification of Coupled Hydraulic Fracturing Simulators Using Laboratory-Scale Experiments 

      Deb, ParomitaORCIDiD; Salimzadeh, Saeed; Vogler, Daniel; Düber, Stephan; Clauser, Christoph; Settgast, Randolph R. (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2021-03-25)
      In this work, we aim to verify the predictions of the numerical simulators, which are used for designing field-scale hydraulic stimulation experiments. Although a strong theoretical understanding of this process has been ...
