Prof. Lecampion gave a keynote lecture on "Fluid-driven ruptures - From Hydraulic Fractures to Fluid-induced Fault Slip" at the 58th US Rock Mechanics Symposium of the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA), held in Denver, Co, on June 26th. The prime conference in North America on geomechanics.
Prof. Lecampion gave a keynote lecture on "Fluid-driven ruptures - From Hydraulic Fractures to Fluid-induced Fault Slip" at the 58th US Rock Mechanics Symposium of the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA), held in Denver, Co, on June 26th. The prime conference in North America on geomechanics, attended by more than a thousand people from academia and industry.
Prof. Lecampion presented recent results obtained at EPFL Geo-Energy Lab, on the mechanics of frictional shear ruptures induced by fluid injection. A hot topic in relation to the development of geothermal energy, CO2 storage among other geo-energy applications. He also covered recent work on the impact of rock anisotropy on hydraulic fracture growth.
