| Research Abstract |
In modern geothermal heat extraction, artificial fractures are usually introduced in order to produce geothermal heat more efficiently and more massively. The artificial cracks are predominantly large in sedimentary rocks. In the present report, we model the artificial crack as a 3-D crack filled with fluid. Then we studied the dynamic responses of the 3-D fluid filled cracks, such as size, location and conductivity. A new method is proposed to estimate the factors listed above. The applicability to field data was checked.
