4D acoustic imaging via an array of 32 sources / 32 receivers is used to monitor hydraulic fracture propagating in a 250~mm cubic specimen under a true-triaxial state of stress. We present a method based on the arrivals of diffracted waves…

This paper proposes a phase field model (PFM) for describing hydraulic fracture propagation in transversely isotopic media. The coupling between the fluid flow and displacement fields is established according to the classical Biot…

These notes address the mechanics of propagating hydraulic fractures (HF). In the first part, we focus on how different physical mechanisms (dissipation in fluid and solid, fluid storage in fracture and its exchange with permeable rock,…

Propagation of a fluid-driven crack in an impermeable linear elastic medium under axis-symmetric conditions is investigated in the present work. The fluid exerting the pressure inside the crack is an incompressible Newtonian one and its…

We present an implicit, fully-coupled hydro-mechanical solver for the three dimensional simulation of fluid-driven rupture propagation along existing discontinuities. The solver handles simultaneously frictional slip (shear failure) and…

We present a multi-resolution approach for constructing model-based simulations of hydraulic fracturing, wherein flow through porous media is coupled with fluid-driven fracture. The approach consists of a hybrid scheme that couples a…

This paper analyses the problem of a semi-infinite fluid-driven fracture propagating through multiple stress layers in a permeable elastic medium. Such a problem represents the tip region of a planar hydraulic fracture. When the hydraulic…

Tracer diffusion and hydrodynamic dispersion in two-dimensional fractures with self-affine roughness is studied by analytic and numerical methods. Numerical simulations were performed via the lattice-Boltzmann approach, using a new boundary…

Fluid driven fractures propagate in the upper earth crust either naturally or in response to engineered fluid injections. The quantitative prediction of their evolution is critical in order to better understand their dynamics as well as to…

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a novel technology that allows sampling of the seismic wavefield densely over a broad frequency band. This makes it an ideal tool for surface wave studies. In this study, we evaluate the potential of…

In a uniform stress field, a tensile hydraulic fracture will favor propagation in the plane formed by the maximum (most compressive) and intermediate principal stresses. For the propagation of hydraulic fractures in non-uniform stress…

The capability to simulate a hydraulic fracturing process is an essential tool that can be used to optimize treatment design and increase the efficiency of field operations. In most practical cases, hydraulic fractures propagate in a…

Fluid flow in rough fractures and the coupling with the mechanical behaviour of the fractures pose great difficulties for numerical modeling approaches, due to complex fracture surface topographies, the non-linearity of hydromechanical…

The stress intensity factor is important for understanding crack initiation and propagation. Because it cannot be measured directly, the characterization of the stress intensity factor relies on the measurement of deformation around a crack…

Many geo-engineering applications, e.g., enhanced geothermal systems, rely on hydraulic fracturing to enhance the permeability of natural formations and allow for sufficient fluid circulation. Over the past few decades, the phase-field…

We applied a hybrid-dimensional flow model to pressure transients recorded during pumping experiments conducted at the Reiche Zeche underground research laboratory to study the normal opening behavior of fractures due to fluid injection.…

During hydraulic fracturing, the injection of a pressurized fluid in a brittle elastic medium leads to the formation and growth of fluid-filled fractures. A disc-like or penny-shaped fracture grows radially from a point source during the…

A non-iterative waveform sensing approach is proposed toward (i) geometric reconstruction of penetrable fractures, and (ii) quantitative identification of their heterogeneous contact condition by seismic i.e. elastic waves. To this end, the…

Fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has emerged as a critical Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensing technology with broad industrial applications. However, the two-dimensional spatial-temporal morphology of DAS signals presents…
