Mineralogical Controls on Frictional Strength, Stability, and Shear Permeability Evolution of Fractures

Journal Article Fang, Yi ; Elsworth, Derek ; Wang, Chaoyi ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Massive fluid injection into the subsurface can induce microearthquakes by reactivating preexisting faults or fractures as seismic or aseismic slip. Such seismic or aseismic shear deformationsmay result in different modes of permeability evolution. Previous experimental studies have explored frictional stability-permeability relationships of carbonate-rich and phyllosilicate-rich samples under shear, suggesting that friction-permeability relationship may be primarily controlled by fracture minerals. We examine this relationship and identify the role of mineralogy (i.e., tectosilicate, carbonate, and phyllosilicate content) using direct-shear experiments on smooth saw-cut fractures of natural rocks and sintered fractures with distinct mineralogical compositions. These results indicate that the friction-permeability relationship ismore »« less

The influence of Preslip Sealing on the Permeability Evolution of Fractures and Faults

Journal Article Im, Kyungjae ; Elsworth, Derek ; Fang, Yi - Geophysical Research Letters

The evolution of permeability on fractures and faults during the full earthquake cycle is shown to be sensitive to sealing during the repose phase. We explore the combined effect of static loading followed by fracture reactivation on permeability evolution via slide-hold-slide experiments. During the hold periods, permeability exhibits a slow but continuous reduction. The permeability decay is consistent with power law compaction of the aperture coupled with cubic law flow. With increasing hold periods, permeability evolves following reactivation from net reduction to net increase with the magnitude of the permeability change dependent on the hold period. This implies that themore »« less

FRICTION AND PERMEABILITY EVOLUTION OF FRACUTRES AND FAULTS DURING STATIC REPOSE AND DYNAMIC REACTIVATION

Other Im, Kyungjae

The co-evolution of fault/fracture friction and permeability represent important science/engineering challenges impacting natural and engineered systems. Friction directly controls the characteristics of natural fault slip, including inter-seismic healing, slow creep and earthquake rupture. Permeability evolution during fault slip and repose illuminates our understanding of perturbations to the earthquake-modulated natural hydraulic system and of subsurface engineering in recovering both shale gas and geothermal energy and in the safe subsurface sequestration of CO2. However, mechanisms controlling the evolution of friction and permeability during slow slip, fast rupture and inter-event repose are not clearly understood. For instance, the evolution of stick-slip amplitudes andmore »« less

Permeability Evolution and Frictional Stability of Fabricated Fractures With Specified Roughness

Journal Article Fang, Yi ; Elsworth, Derek ; Ishibashi, Takuya ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Roughness is widely observed on natural fractures, and its impact on the potential for induced seismicity and associated fluid migration in the subsurface remains unclear. Here we perform fracture shearing and fluid flow experiments on artificially fabricated fractures with specified roughness to investigate the role of fracture roughness on frictional properties and permeability evolution. Given the experimental conditions, we observe that rough fractures show high roughness ratio S _q/L _w and return higher frictional strength due to the presence of cohesive interlocking asperities. Rough fracture surfaces show velocity strengthening behavior in the initial shearing stage, which may evolve to velocitymore »« less
