The effects of cyclic heat treatments on the fracture shear behaviors are rarely reported.To enhance our understanding,granite fractures having almost the same roughness were first exposed to cyclic heating at 400C an...
Development and production from fractured reservoirs require extensive knowledge about the reservoir structures and in situ stress regimes.For this,this paper investigates fractures and the parameters(aperture and den...

The hydraulic testing of pre-existing fractures(HTPF)is one of the most promising in situ stress measurement methods,particularly for three-dimensional stress tensor determination.However,the stress tensor determinati...
Waterflood-induced fractures,also known as self-induced fractures,spontaneously form at injection wells during waterflooding.These fractures propagate long distances through rock,allowing injected fluids to travel far...
