Fracture Transmissivity in Prospective Host Rocks for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)

We experimentally determined the hydraulic properties of fractures within various rock types, focusing on a variety of Variscan rocks. Flow-through experiments were performed on slate, graywacke, quartzite, granite, natural fault gouge, and claystone samples containing an artificial fracture with a...
