The dataset provides relevant data from experimental work in order to calculate fracture permeability and stiffness (closure) as presented in the publication; Experimental investigation of natural fracture stiffness and flow properties in a faulted CO2 bypass system (Utah, USA). Fracture stiffness and flow properties have been measured in the laboratory using naturally fractured fault rock samples from the Little Grand Wash fault, Utah, USA. We compare fracture closure and related flow change during isotropic loading of two fractures which have been subject to various amounts of paleo-reactive flow. The two tested fractures are described as (i) a small-aperture fracture (0.1 mm) with negligible geochemical alterations of the fracture surface and (ii) a large-aperture fracture (0.53 mm) where precipitates are observed on the fracture surface.
