Assessment of hydraulic connectivity of fractures in mudstones by single-borehole investigations

Ishii, Eiichi

Assessing the hydraulic connectivity of fractures by single-borehole investigations is crucial to radioactive waste disposal, but is still a challenge as such connectivity is difficult to measure directly. This study presents geological, hydrological, hydrochemical, and rock mechanical data for three faulted/fractured mudstones (the Koetoi, Wakkanai, and Palfris formations) and proposes a new methodology for assessing the hydraulic connectivity of fractures.
