Utah FORGE 5-2565: Final Report on the Evolution of Permeability and Strength Recovery of Shear Fracture Under Hydrothermal Conditions
This report discusses the results of research on the ability to create and/or reactivate and subsequently sustain fracture systems which are strongly influenced by complexly coupled mechanical (M) and chemical (C) processes in reservoirs forced from equilibrium by hydraulic stimulation (H) and thermal drawdown (T) THMC.
