Utah FORGE: Slide-Hold-Slide Experiments on Westerly Granite at Temperatures up to 250 Degrees C

Laboratory slide-hold-slide tests were conducted in a conventional triaxial deformation configuration on 1-inch diameter cylindrical cores of Westerly granite bisected by a sawcut oriented at 30 degrees from vertical. Tests were conducted at a constant confining pressure of 30 MPa...

Penn State Lab Testing Fluid-Rock Interaction in Geothermal Reservoirs

This project focused on assessment and discovery of fluid-rock interaction in geothermal reservoirs. We accomplished work in four main areas: 1) fracture formation and the relationship between fluid flow and shear failure, 2) assessment of fracture geometry and fluid permeability ...

Utah FORGE: Laboratory Fault Reactivation and Permeability Evolution During Fluid Injection

This dataset contains results from controlled shear reactivation experiments performed on cylindrical Westerly and granitoid granite samples with a single inclined fracture. Laboratory faults were pre-loaded near failure and reactivated by fluid injection to examine relationships ...
