Core Laboratories has developed a series of Rock Mechanics , Digital Geological Characterizations and Formation Damage services to improve the understanding of any anthropogenic changes made in the rock crust for the exploitation of geo-energy. In particular, Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical couplings effects are experimentally investigated to improve Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) fracture design and energy recovery simulations.
Our Range of Geothermal Exploitation services includes:
Mechanics of Fractures
Fracture Conductivity
Fracture Propagation
Failure Stress : UCS Tests
Direct Shear Stress Tests
Creep Tests
