Previous studies have revealed that hydraulic fracturing behavior in crystalline rock (eg,
granite) is highly dependent on mineral content, grain size, and heterogeneity and is …

The ability to control induced seismicity in energy technologies such as geothermal heat and
shale gas is an important factor in improving the safety and reducing the seismic hazard of …

To reveal the breakdown mechanism of dry hot rock (HDR) induced by liquid nitrogen (LN)
fracturing, the laboratory tests were performed on high temperature granite using …

The effect of clay particles on reservoir performance and nearby formations depends on its
swelling properties, cation exchange capacity, and morphology. In this study, a novel …

Large-scale and complex cracks have always been the eternal goal of hydraulic fracturing
(HF) technology in shale reservoirs, but there has been the public concern that the HF could …

The tight conglomerate reservoir of Baikouquan formation in the MA 131 well block in the
Junggar basin abounds with petroleum reserves, yet the vertical wells in this reservoir have …
