Numerical Modeling of Reactive Transport and Self-Sealing Processes in the Fault-Controlled Geothermal System of the Guide Basin, China by Zhaoyun Hou, Tianfu Xu, Guanhong Feng, Bo Feng, Yilong Yuan, Zhenjiao Jiang

“…As a consequence, the permeability in the discharge zone reduced by 15% when compared to the original permeability of 100 mD. Moreover, another three self-sealing areas were formed near the recharge zone, the deep upgradient zone, and the downgradient area where the fast upward fluid flow occurred. …”

Study on Microseismic Monitoring, Early Warning, and Comprehensive Prevention of a Rock Burst under Complex Conditions by Ke Ding, Lianguo Wang, Mei Yu, Wenmiao Wang, Bo Ren

“…In addition, a multilevel antiburst scheme was proposed for the complex conditions: (1) to adopt large-diameter boreholes pressure relief technology and key layer high-level pressure relief technology for adjusting the stress distribution in the surrounding rock of crossheading in front of the working face and dissipating elastic strain energy; (2) to determine the advance speed to be 1.5 m/d for reducing the mining disturbance; (3) to adopt full-section reinforced support of the roadway for enhancing the antiburst capacity of surrounding rock. …”
