Abstract

Submission includes data from laboratory slide-hold-slide tests, combined with flow through tests, conducted on Westerly granite with 30 degree sawcut. Tests were conducted with a constant confining pressure of 30 MPa with an average pore pressure of 10 MPa at temperatures of 23 and 200 degC. Three fluid flow conditions were examined (1) no flow, (2) cycled flow, and (3) continuous flow. Data were collected to asses the effect of temperature and pore fluid on frictional healing rates in granite at geothermal conditions. Data is available in XML and JSON data types.

Utah FORGE Friction-Permeability-Seismicity Laboratory Experiments with Non-Linear Acoustics

Dataset Eijsink, Agathe ; Elsworth, Derek

Laboratory experimental data on saw-cut interface of Westerly Granite and Utah Forge granitoid rocks. Experiments include velocity-stepping and fluid pressure stepping experiments. Mechanical data from 3 ISCO pumps connected to a Temco pressure vessel measure axial, confining and fault: fluid pressure (kPa), fluid flow rate (mL/min) and volume remaining in pump (mL). Non-linear acoustic data acquired via Verasonics systems connected to PZTs inside the pressure vessel give the timeshift, amplitude and RMS amplitude of the passing P-wave.
Utah FORGE 5-2615: Laboratory Data for Insights on Hydraulic Fracture Closure and Stress Measurement

Dataset Ye, Zhi ; Ghassemi, Ahmad

This dataset includes data from injection/fall-off experiments conducted in controlled laboratory settings. The aim is to investigate the physics governing fracture closure and the associated stress measurements during hydraulic fracturing. These time series data include flow rate, pressure, and volume measurements. These experiments were conducted as part of Utah FORGE Project 5-2615: Thermo-poromechanical Response of Fractured Rock.
Utah FORGE Core Material Friction Experiments

Dataset Marone, Chris ; Affinito, Raphael ; Eijsink, Aagje

The following folders contain 3 friction experiments on Utah FORGE core material from depths of 6735 - 8533ft. The experiment conditions range from 100% relative humidity at room temperature to fluid-saturated at 110C. Experiments were done on both intact samples in a single-direct shear configuration, double-direct shear, and gouge.
Utah FORGE: Fault Reactivation Through Fluid Injection Induced Seismicity Laboratory Experiments

Dataset Yu, Jiayi ; Eijsink, Agathe ; Elsworth, Derek

Included are results from shear reactivation experiments on laboratory faults pre-loaded close to failure and reactivated by the injection of fluid into the fault. The sample comprises a single-inclined-fracture (SIF) transecting a cylindrical sample of Westerly granite. All experiments are conducted at ambient temperature and follow a similar protocol: (i) application of confining stresses (3MPa) on the fault fully saturated with DI water, (ii) shear-mobilization through the increase of axial loading at a constant displacement rate until a post-peak steady-state condition is reached, (iii) reduction of axial loading and related shear stress to a prescribed fraction of the peak steady-statemore »« less
Utah FORGE 5-2565: Evolution of Permeability and Strength Recovery of Shear Fractures Under Hydrothermal Conditions - 2024 Annual Workshop Presentation

Dataset Jeppson, Tamara ; Taron, Josh ; Lockner, Dave ; ...

This is a presentation on the Evolution of Permeability and Strength Recovery of Shear Fractures Under Hydrothermal Conditions by United States Geological Survey, presented by Tamara Jeppson. This video slide presentation, by the USGS, discusses the determination of how thermal, hydrologic, mechanical, and chemical (THMC) processes affect the sustainability of fracture networks in geothermal reservoirs. This includes (1) the qualification of rates of change of fracture properties, (2) the parameterization of modes of reaction, (3) the development of micromechanical and empirical fracture models, and (4) extended THMC models for laboratory- and reservoir-scale models.
