Statement

Core plugs, 19.75mm in diameter, were cut to lengths appropriate for rock deformation laboratory tests (Paterson & Wong, 2005; ASTM D7012-14, 2014; ASTM D3967-16, 2016). Specimens were dried at ~30 °C for >24 hours prior to any testing. Samples were axially compressed in a triaxial deformation apparatus at the University of Liverpool (Faulkner & Armitage, 2013). Tensile strength experiments were conducted using a uniaxial press and a Brazilian test jig. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analyses were performed on eleven samples of crushed core material from the GGC01 borehole. Sample material was prepared using a mill crusher and agate ball crusher so that a size fraction of <125 µm was obtained for each test sample. Porosity of each GGC01 core plug sample was measured using a Quantochrome Multipycnometer, and permeability (k) was determined using the pulse-transient method (Brace et al., 1968).
