Triaxial testing and hydraulic–mechanical modeling of sandstone reservoir rock in the Upper Rhine Graben

Triaxial testing and hydraulic–mechanical modeling of sandstone reservoir rock in the Upper Rhine Graben

Abstract The Upper Rhine Graben (URG) is a highly favorable location for deep geothermal energy utilization. One of the main reservoir horizons is the lower Triassic Buntsandstein formation. While quantification of thermal and hydraulic parameters and their coupling is common, geomechanical factors...
