Fracture sealing by mineral precipitation: The role of small‐scale mineral heterogeneity
Abstract Fractures are often leakage pathways for fluid in low‐permeability rocks that otherwise act as geologic barriers in the subsurface. Flow of fluids in chemical disequilibrium with fracture surfaces can lead to mineral precipitation and fracture sealing. To directly evaluate the role of small...
