Hydraulic Fracturing and Fracture Mapping at Yakedake Field
Conference paper
Abstract
The feasibility study of the HDR system in Japan has been made under the Sunshine Project. The experiment field lies in the Yakedake area, where the mapping of artificial fractures due to hydraulic fracturing has been mainly studied with measurement of AE signals. This paper presents the fracture mapping results based on the AE measurement associated with field experiments in 1981.
