Abstract: Fracture permeability is one of the critical factors affecting thermal production in hot dry rock reservoirs. Mechanical creep can cause temporal reduction of fracture permeability. However, the study solely on mechanical ...

Abstract: Water flow experiments in single tensile and shear granite fractures were conducted to investigate the nonlinear flow behavior. Fracture geometry parameters based on single fracture wall (Rp, Z2, Z3, Z4, JRC) and two ...
