This tutorial will show how to paint zone data onto an imported geometric surface in FLAC3D.
This example describes how to import and use structural data generated by Rockmass Technologies mapping instrumentation.
This tutorial reviews how you can generate movies from plots with FLAC3D and most Itasca software.
Assess the use InSAR technology for LKAB's purposes - as a replacement and/or complement to current GPS measurements.
Injection testing conducted in 2017 and 2019 at the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy site in Utah evaluated flowback as an alternative to prolonged shut-in periods to infer closure stress, formation compressibility, and formation permeability. Flowback analyses yielded lower inferred closure stresses than traditional shut-in methods and indicated high formation compressibility, suggesting an extensive fractured system. Numerical simulations showed rebound pressure is not necessarily the lower bound of minimum principal stress. Stiffness changes can be identified as depletion transitions from hydraulic to natural fractures. The advantage if flowback is reduced time to closure.
The challenges of mining economically have never been greater than under current global financial conditions.
