Laboratory Hydraulic Fracturing of Large-Scale Granite Characterized by Acoustic Emission Under Different Confining Conditions

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) technology is crucial to form connected fracture network within the low-permeability geothermal reservoir. However, the HF process and failure mechanism in this process are only partly understood. A series of true triaxial hydraulic fracturing tests on large-scale natural g...
