Three dimensional simulation of fluid-driven frictional and tensile ruptures on existing discontinuities
Brice Lecampion, Sylvain Brisson, Antareep Sarma +3
We present an implicit, fully-coupled hydro-mechanical solver for the three dimensional simulation of fluid-driven rupture propagation along existing discontinuities. The solver ha…
Modeling Utah FORGE 2022 EGS Hydraulic Stimulations: Tensile Hydraulic Fractures versus Fluid-Induced Dilatant Shear Ruptures
Sylvain Brisson, Brice Lecampion
We investigate two hydraulic stimulation stages performed in April 2022 at the Utah FORGE enhanced geothermal system test site using analytical and numerical models for tensile hyd…
Steadily moving semi-infinite fracture in plane poroelasticity
Evgenii Kanin, Andreas Möri, Dmitry Garagash +1
We present a boundary integral formulation for steadily propagating semi-infinite plane strain tensile and shear fractures in poroelastic media. By combining fundamental solutions…
The Energy Balance of a Hydraulic Fracture at Depth
Carlo Peruzzo, Andreas Möri, Brice Lecampion
We detail the energy balance of a propagating hydraulic fracture. Using the linear hydraulic fracture model which combines lubrication flow and linear elastic fracture mechanics, w…
