• Mineral replacement in long-term flooded porous carbonate rocks 

      Minde, Mona Wetrhus; Zimmermann, Udo; Madland, Merete Vadla; Korsnes, Reidar Inge; Schultz, Bernhard; Gilbricht, Sabine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09)
      This study reports mineralogical and physical property changes linked to geo-chemical alterations processes during three ultra-long-term tri-axial tests on outcrop-chalk from Liège (Belgium). The test core plugs were flooded ...
    • Validation study of water weakening research from outcrop chalks performed on Eldfisk reservoir cores 

      Kallesten, Emanuela Iedidia; Cherif, Yosra; Madland, Merete Vadla; Korsnes, Reidar Inge; Omdal, Edvard; Andersen, Pål Østebø; Zimmermann, Udo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11)
      Seawater injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) purposes can increase the hydrocarbon recovery factor in carbonate reservoirs but are also responsible for weakening their mechanical strength. This study investigates the ...
