Hydraulic Fracture Closure Revealed Under Controlled Laboratory Condition

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Mohsen Talebkeikhah

This study observed hydraulic fracture propagation, arrest, and closure in permeable rocks. The experiment was conducted on a Molasse sandstone block in a true triaxial state of stress. The study monitored fracture opening at the wellbore and fluid pressur ...

Experimental Study of Underground Heat Storage via Hydraulic Fractures

Tristan Liardon, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Jean Vincent Daniel Naftalski, Mohsen Talebkeikhah

We present a laboratory setup to test the energy budget of underground heat storage in an otherwise impermeable rock through engineered fractures, a so-called Fracture Thermal Energy Storage (FTES) system. A hydraulic fracture is first created in a cubic s ...

Experimental Investigation of Hydraulic Fracture Closure in a Porous Sandstone

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Mohsen Talebkeikhah, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, Guanyi Lu

Depending on the type of fracture propagation regime when the injection stops, the closure of the fracture may occur exactly after the injection ceases, in the case where the fracturing process is dominated by fracture energy, or the fracture propagate for ...

On evaluation of thermophysical properties of transformer oil-based nanofluids: A comprehensive modeling and experimental study

Farzaneh Talebkeikhah, Mohsen Talebkeikhah

Transformer oil-based nanofluids are known to have higher thermal conductivity and heat transfer performance compared to conventional transformer oils. In this study, four different types of transformer oil-based nanofluids are synthesized using the well-k ...
