HYDRAULIC FRACTURE INITIATION IN LIMESTONE

hydraulic fracture, is maintained until a hydraulic fracture grows. Acid injection also is shown to generate a dissolution cavity in the vicinity of the wellbore. The breakdown of the specimen is also explosive in the case of acid injection, probably due to generate of carbon dioxide as a part of the dissolution reaction.

Physical Characteristics of Limestone

This porosity decreases with compaction over time as more material is deposited and fragments cement together. Acidic water from the atmosphere or ground dissolves some of this compacted material, creating a secondary porosity. Earth movement over geological time causes the limestone to fracture. Acidic water ingress further …
