Cracks in a rock mass subjected to a uniaxial stress will be preferentially closed depending on the angle between the fracture normal and the direction of the applied stress. If the prestress fracture distribution is isotropic, the effective elastic properties of such a material are then transversely isotropic due to the preferred alignment of the cracks. Velocity measurements in multiple direc...

Horizontal wells’ multi-section and multi-cluster hydraulic fracturing plays an important role in the efficient development of shale gas. However, influence perforating hole natural fracture dip angle on process initiation propagation has been ignored current researches. This paper presents results related to a tri-axial large-scale experiment under different parameters. We discuss experimental...

Floor water inrush has always been an important problem affecting coal mine safety. The from the deep seam floor is final manifestation of channel formed by expansion and penetration rock mass cracks under combined action a high ground temperature, stress, karst pressure strong mining disturbance. fault structurally weak plane developed in complete layer, which can be regarded as permeable with...

Based on the proposed calculation method for determining different dip angle fracture permeability coefficients derived from well flow vibration equation and self-developed slug test system, research in a field fractured rock mass was carried out based underground water sealed cavern project of National Huangdao Petroleum Reserve. The formation lithology site granite gneiss, fractures were not ...

Based on the existing research results, a theoretical fracture model of strata under compound impact static and harmonic dynamic load is improved, characteristic parameters (stress intensity factor, T-stress, initiation angle) two far-field stress are determined according to crack dip angle. Additionally, effects distribution field (the angle, degree, number units, area) further calculated disc...

Abstract In the process of pressure‐relief mining in high gas coal seams and hydraulic fracturing deep coalbed methane, a large number irregular fractures are generated inside coal, which becomes main path for migration. The stress sensitivity directly affects migration characteristics coal. For better matching stress‐permeability test results, fluid–solid coupling simulation method with joint ...

Abstract A pre-existing plane of weakness along the fault is comprised a particular pattern joints dipping at different orientations. The stress state, partially defined by orientation fault, determines potential slip failure and hence evolution permeability. Here influence on permeability was investigated direct fluid injection inside with three sets orientations (45°, 60° 110°), through coupl...

A model function relating effective stress to fracture permeability is developed from Hooke's law, implemented in the tensorial form of Darcy's law, and used to evaluate discharge rates and pressure distributions at regional scales. The model takes into account elastic and statistical fracture parameters, and is able to simulate real stress-dependent permeabilities from laboratory to field stud...
