Abstract

This data set consists of Computed Tomographic (CT) data for five sheared Eau Claire Formation core samples with complex and heterogeneous lithology. Each sample was prefractured, housed in a specially adapted core holder, and sheared in incremental fashion. CT scans were taken before and after each shearing event.

EGS Collab Experiment 1: In-situ observation of pre-, co- and post-seismic shear slip preceding hydraulic fracturing

Dataset Guglielmi, Yves ; Schoenball, Martin ; Cook, Paul ; ...

Understanding the initiation and arrest of earthquakes is one of the long-standing challenges of seismology. Here we report on direct observations of borehole displacement by a meter-sized shear rupture induced by pressurization of metamorphic rock at 1.5 km depth. We observed the acceleration of sliding, followed by fast co-seismic slip and a transient afterslip phase. Total displacements were about 7, 5.5 and 9.5 micrometers, respectively for the observed pre-slip, co-seismic slip and afterslip. The observed pre-slip lasted about 0.4 seconds. Co-seismic slip was recorded by the 1 kHz displacement recording and a 12-component array of 3-C accelerometers sampled at 100more »« less

The Eau Claire Formation in Iowa, an Upper Cambrian, inner shelf, cratonic clastic wedge

Conference McKay, R M - Geological Society of America, Abstracts with Programs; (United States)

The Eau Claire Formation has been defined, in its outcrop belt in west-central Wisconsin, as an argillaceous, fine-grained sandstone and shale interval sandwiched between coarser sandstone units of the older Mt. Simon Fm and the younger Wonewoc Fm. This stratigraphic arrangement continues into the subsurface of eastern iowa, but undergoes substantial variation throughout the rest of the state. Terrigenous clastic-dominated facies of the Eau Claire in northern and eastern Iowa are laterally transitional to mixed terrigenous clastic/carbonate facies in southern and western iowa. These lithofacies transitions are independently correlatable through trilobite and brachiopod biostratigraphy. Carbonate dominated facies (dolomite and limestone)more »« less
Origin and heterogeneity of pore sizes in the Mount Simon Sandstone and Eau Claire Formation: Implications for multiphase fluid flow

Journal Article Mozley, Peter S. ; Heath, Jason E. ; Dewers, Thomas A. ; ... - Geosphere

The Mount Simon Sandstone and Eau Claire Formation represent a principal reservoir - caprock system for wastewater disposal, geologic CO₂ storage, and compressed air energy storage (CAES) in the Midwestern United States. Of primary concern to site performance is heterogeneity in flow properties that could lead to non-ideal injectivity and distribution of injected fluids (e.g., poor sweep efficiency). Using core samples from the Dallas Center Structure, Iowa, we investigate pore structure that governs flow properties of major lithofacies of these formations. Methods include gas porosimetry and permeametry, mercury intrusion porosimetry, thin section petrography, and X-ray diffraction. The lithofacies exhibit highlymore »« less
