Hydraulic fracture experiments in GT-1 and GT-2

Hydraulic fracture experiments in GT-1 and GT-2 [electronic resource]

Hydraulic fracturing experiments were conducted in granite rock, at temperatures near 100 and 150°C, in two wells 0.785 km (2575 ft) and 1.98 km (6500 ft) deep near Los Alamos, New Mexico. No unusual difficulty was observed in fracturing crystalline rock hydraulically. The apparent surface energy (e...
