Carbonate rocks are extensively used in civil infrastructure and play a critical role geoenergy geoengineering, either as hydrocarbon reservoirs or potential repositories for CO2 geological storage. genesis diagenetic overprint determine the properties of carbonate rocks. This study combines recent data gathered from Madison Limestone an extensive dataset compiled published sources to analyze h...

The lack of consensus on the mechanisms underpinning low salinity waterflooding (LSWF) oil recovery has affected successful implementation LSWF in carbonate reservoirs. Many investigators link improved observed from to wettability alteration. Several models are proposed literature study alteration mechanism. However, reliability some is being contested, as they struggle accurately predict trend...

In the present work, we investigate mechanical weakening and deformation induced by water on a microporous carbonate rock, Obourg Chalk from Mons Basin (Belgium), through conventional triaxial tests injection tests. The were conducted waterflooding critically loaded rock samples, initially in dry condition, way to minimize variations effective pressures. Furthermore, samples instrumented with P...

Abstract The development and construction of offshore wind farms requires the correct estimation friction that can be mobilised at rock/grout interface. In conventional studies, shear behaviour a joint is usually investigated with laboratory tests under constant normal load/stress (CNL), however, in engineering practice, direct testing stiffness (CNS) has been proved to more realistic assessmen...
