Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of stimulation mechanisms in Enhanced Geothermal Systems
Mark W. McClure,Roland N. Horne +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review ten historical EGS projects and find that typically, flow from the wellbore is from preexisting fractures, bottomhole pressure exceeds the minimum principal stress, and pressure-limiting behavior occurs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Importance of Slow Slip on Faults During Hydraulic Fracturing Stimulation of Shale Gas Reservoirs
TL;DR: In this article, slow slip on pre-existing fractures and faults is an important deformation mechanism contributing to the effectiveness of slick-water hydraulic fracturing for stimulating production in extremely low permeability shale gas reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of injection-induced seismicity using a coupled fluid flow and rate/state friction model
Mark W. McClure,Roland N. Horne +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a numerical investigation of induced seismicity induced by injection into a single isolated fracture, where water is injected into fractured, low permeability rock, triggering slip on preexisting large scale fracture zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slip-corrected liquid permeability and its effect on hydraulic fracturing and fluid loss in shale
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the slip length of brine and pores in shale by using an atomic force microscope (AFM) and used measured slip length in a stochastic permeability model to calculate apparent liquid permeability in the shale matrix.
