Abstract: Lost circulation is a serious problem which always exists in the petroleum industry. Wellbore strengthening by lost circulation materials (LCMs) is a commonly applied method for mitigating lost circulation. This paper ...

Abstract: Understanding the mechanical and hydraulic behaviors in a single fracture is important for underground rock engineering. In this study, coupled shear-flow tests were performed on five single fractures with regular dentate ...

Abstract: The utilization of low-enthalpy geothermal systems holds substantial potential for mitigating the greenhouse effect. However, the thermal efficiency of geothermal systems is significantly influenced by the spatial distribution ...
