Artificial Fracture Stimulation of Rock Subjected to Large Isotropic Confining Stresses in Saline Environments: Application in Deep-Sea Gas Hydrate Recovery
V.R.S. De Silva,Pathegama Gamage Ranjith,Mandadige Samintha Anne Perera,Mandadige Samintha Anne Perera,Bisheng Wu +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new hydrophobic non-explosive demolition agent was used as a rock fracturing technique, which could potentially be used as the third-generation disruptive technology for mining (3G-DTM).

Intermittent and multi-stage fracture stimulation to optimise fracture propagation around a single injection well for enhanced in-situ leaching applications
TL;DR: In this article, two new methods of fracture stimulation by injecting a modified Soundless Cracking Demolition Agent (SCDA) into a target rock through an injection well as opposed to completely filling the injection well once with SCDA to produce a fracture.

Characterization of two-phase flow in a single rock joint
TL;DR: In this article, a triaxial apparatus was used to analyze the two-phase flow patterns of water and air in jointed rock specimens with a single natural fracture and showed that the mixture flow pattern was independent of the air flow velocity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new index for the brittleness evaluation of rock mass is proposed based on catastrophe theory, which can provide critical detail description to the variation of critical rupture point, catastrophe energy, post-peak external work, and BRB under different confining pressures.
