Summary
Report on the laboratory fracking experiment performed at controlled conditions (state of stress, flow rate and pressure, laboratory pressure and temperature) on sample blocks of size 30x30x45 cm³, its boundary conditions, and its flow rates and fracture apertures versus time curves. Results of this experiment will be used in task 6.5 for verifying a selection of numerical codes for simulating the propagation of hydraulic fractures.
