- Additional information
- This work provides a comprehensive approach to answer a long-standing, but now proven incorrect, supposition that fractured and intact rocks respond completely differently to deliberate chemical dissolution. The method provides the link between chemical corrosion experiments (example: International Centre for Carbonate Reservoirs - GeoMeChem Project: [Contact Available: Shell]) and fractured-rock geomechanics in the near-well region (PhD project underway), with implications for borehole stability and integrity, in settings such as acid-gas disposal. Particularly, the new simulation capability enables estimations of the paleo-fluid-flow conditions required to explain chemically-related permeability enhancement in fractured rock masses.
