During the hydraulic fracturing process, some of the fracturing fluid may leave the fracture and enter the targeted formation adjacent to the created fracture(i. e. untreated formation). This phenomenon is known as fluid leak-off. The fluid flows into the micropore or pore spaces of the formation or into existing natural fractures in the formation or into small fractures opened and propagated into the formation by the pressure in the induced fracture. 7, record 1, English, - fracture%20fluid%20leak%2Doff

Le principe de la fracturation hydraulique consiste à envoyer dans le puits un mélange d’eau et de sable sous forte pression, afin de provoquer des fractures dans la roche à travers le tubage du puits, préalablement perforé sur certains segments pour assurer la communication avec la formation géologique, ou d'agrandir les fractures naturelles de la roche. Les grains de sable qui s’insèrent dans les fractures ainsi créées les empêchent de se refermer ultérieurement quand la pression se relâche. 3, record 3, French, - fracture%20naturelle

The production of hydrocarbon reservoirs, the exploitation of hydrothermal fields and mining activity in general are associated with microseismicity. Changes of the local stress fields and pore pressure can initiate sudden movements along existing faults or can generate new fractures which in turn result in the emission of seismic energy. Monitoring and analyses of microseismic events have the potential to delineate the internal structure of the subsurface, to obtain information on the present stress conditions and to image dynamic processes like subsidence and fluid flow. 3, record 4, English, - microseismic%20monitoring
