Abstract: Determination of the geomechanical parameters and in situ stress of petroleum reservoir rocks by hydraulic fracturing is critical in performing fracturing operations and reservoir simulation in petroleum engineering. Many ...

Abstract: Characterization of geomechanical parameters in naturally fractured reservoirs remains one of the most challenging tasks in civil, mining, and petroleum engineering. Extended leak-off tests (XLOTs) are generally carried ...

Abstract: The convergences of surrounding rock masses are important indexes which can be used to evaluate the stability levels of underground rock excavations. The predictions and control of convergences are essential tasks to ensure ...

Abstract: The orthogonal experimental method is currently the most commonly used tool for determining an appropriate composition of modified asphalt binders. However, it cannot automatically output a reasonable composition when ...
