Hydraulic fracturing within source rocks for fluids in sedimentary basins

In several systems in the Earths crust, fluids are self-produced inside a rock (dehydration of sediments in the subduction channel, migration of hydrocarbon from a source rock) and escape by creating their own paths. This is a process of reaction-induced fracturing. Primary migration i.e. the tra...
