Water weakening of chalk: A mechanistic study by Merete Vadla Madland, Stavanger : University of Stavanger, 2005 (PhD thesis UiS, no. 11)Sammendrag
Since the detection of the Ekofisk subsidence some 20 years ago,
there has been a considerable research activity concerning chalk behaviour in
general, and mechanical properties particularly. Due to the importance of
water injection into chalk reservoirs to improve oil recovery, an extended
experimental testing has been performed in order to further investigate the socalled
water weakening effect. The mechanisms behind well instability,
compaction, and subsidence experienced in the North Sea chalk reservoirs are,
however, not completely understood.
