Utah FORGE 2-2446: Laboratory Block Experiments with Six Different Combinations of Stresses and Rock Fabrics
This report documents the block hydraulic fracturing experiments that were conducted as part of task 4 of Utah FORGE project 2-2446. First, the report describes the experimental setup designed to replicate Utah FORGE conditions. Then, it details an innovative testing protocol, including the examination of post-peak pressure records and the improved wellbore temperature measurement setup.
