Abstract
To perform in-situ imaging and characterization of hydraulic fracture development, a triaxial test assembly is configured to evaluate a core sample obtained from a hydrocarbon formation. The triaxial test assembly is positioned within a Computer Tomography (CT) imaging system. While the triaxial test assembly is positioned within the CT imaging system, a core sample is connected to the triaxial test assembly. The triaxial test assembly is operated to evaluate the core sample. The CT imaging system is operated while evaluating the core sample by operating the test assembly. Properties of the core sample are determined using results of operating the triaxial test assembly and of operating the CT imaging system.
