Along with horizontal drilling techniques, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has improved shale
gas production significantly in past decades. In order to understand the mechanism of …

Although there are some review papers on carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS),
hardly any of these reviews are focused on the role of CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in …

A fractured reservoir can support and sustain long-term geothermal energy extraction
operations. The process of injecting cold water to extract hot water from a fractured reservoir …

Simulation of complex fracture patterns in porous media can help understand and improve
hydraulic fracturing processes, with potential for significant impact on enhancing oil and gas …

Cyclic microfracturing and epitaxial crystal growth have long been recognized in crack‐seal
veins, but an understanding of a single crack‐seal cycle is still missing. Here we present a …

Understanding mechanistic causes of non‐Fickian transport in fractured media is important
for many hydrogeologic processes and subsurface applications. This study elucidates the …

Fractured media have been extensively studied due to their significant impact on hydraulic
properties of subsurface systems. However, accurately modeling and simulating flow and …

The macro and micro morphology of rock failure surfaces play crucial roles in determining
the rock mechanical and seepage properties. The morphology of unloaded deep rock failure …

This study presents a three-dimensional numerical analysis of multiple fracture growth
leading to spalling around nuclear waste deposition boreholes. Mechanical spalling due to …

This paper presents a three-dimensional numerical analysis of multiple fracture growth
leading to the development of excavation disturbed zones and spalling around deposition …
