Post-Test SEM Examination of Brady Core, Desert Peak Core, and Stripa Granite Samples

Dataset Kneafsey, Tim

As part of the shear-induced permeability test of Brady well BCH-03, Desert Peak well DP 35-13, and Stripa granite samples, the three post-test (reacted) rock samples were examined using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The SEM images of the core and elemental analysis are included in this submission for each sample.
Fracture Sustainability Test, Pre- and Post-Test Photomicrographs

Dataset Kneafsey, Tim

The primary objective of this research is to understand how different rock types, mineral and fluid compositions, and fracture surface textures determine the longevity of fracture apertures, so that selection of reservoir rock can be economically optimized to reduce future refracturing. We are performing laboratory tests to study this in a custom apparatus at conditions relevant to EGS, with temperatures up to 250 degrees C (design maximum 300 degrees C). Our approach is to perform a number of long term (up to several months) laboratory experiments using relevant rock samples with different mineralogies to explore fracture sustainability under EGS conditions.more »« less
Directional Cooling-Induced Fracturing Westerly Granite Test Results

Dataset Nakagawa, Seiji

Directional Cooling-Induced Fracturing (DCIF) experiments were conducted on a short, cylindrical sample of Westerly granite (diameter = 4 inches, height ~ 2 inches). Liquid nitrogen was poured in a copper cup attached to the top of the sample, and the resulting acoustic emissions (AEs) and temperature changes on the surface of the sample were monitored. The obtained AEs were used to determine the microcracking source locations and amplitude, and the associated moment tensors. Included in this submission is an animation of the AEs, a graphic displaying the temperature changes, and the measured data.
