Geomechanical Characterization of the Rock Mass along a Deep Vertical Borehole
Maria Clorinda Mandaglio
Abstract:Deep vertical boreholes play a crucial role in underground exploration, resource extraction such as geothermal energy extraction, oil and gas exploration, underground waste storage and various underground engineering applications. The geomechanical properties of the rocks surrounding these boreholes are essential for designing safe, efficient drilling operations, for using adequate technologies and equipment and for providing mitigation measurements. Specifically, when the excavations are performed inside in-d… Show more
