Abstract: The formation of a cluster of activated fractures when fluid is injected in a low permeability rock is analysed. A fractured rock is modelled as a dual porosity medium that consists of a growing cluster… read more here.

Abstract: Convective transport in low-permeability rocks can be enhanced by the injection of a pressurized fluid to activate preexisting weak planes (fractures). These fractures are initially closed, but fluid-pressure-induced slippage creates void space that allows for… read more here.
