Quantification of Viscous Creep Influence on Storage Capacity of Caprock

Lyesse Laloui, Roman Makhnenko

In the light of growing concerns for the climate change, it is of particular interest for governments to encourage efficient capture and safe storage of large amounts of carbon dioxide in the subsurface. In this perspective and in order to accurately predi ...

On the Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Remoulded and Natural Opalinus Clay Shale

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

The geo-energy sector makes use of advanced technologies such as shale gas extraction, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological disposal that rely on the exploitation of shale formations. Due to the great depths involved in these applications and the ...

Anisotropic volumetric behaviour of Opalinus Clay shale upon suction variation

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi, Eleonora Crisci

Opalinus Clay shale is under consideration to serve as the host geomaterial for the underground storage of nuclear waste in Switzerland. Water retention behaviour and anisotropic behaviour represent two main features of this geomaterial; however, a compreh ...

Anisotropic Volumetric Response of Shales upon Suction Changes

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi

Anisotropic fabric and volumetric response to suction changes represent two main features of shales, which are involved in several engineering applications. However, a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between these two aspects is still missin ...

Constitutive analysis of shale: a coupled damage plasticity approach

Lyesse Laloui, Francesco Parisio

Shales have become increasingly important because they play key roles in modern energy and environmental geomechanics applications, such as nuclear waste storage, non-conventional oil and gas operations and CO2 geological storage. Shale behaves in a quasi- ...

Dynamic investigation of nutrient consumption and injection strategy in microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) by means of large-scale experiments

Koen Blanckaert

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) depends on the in situ microbial activity to release trapped oil in reservoirs. In practice, undesired consumption is a universal phenomenon but cannot be observed effectively in small-scale physical simulations due t ...

On the Fluid Retention Properties of Shales

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

The development of engineering activities involving shales such as the extraction of shale gas and shale oil, the nuclear waste geological storage and the sequestration of CO2, has led to an increasing interest toward the geomechanical behaviour of this ge ...

Experimental analysis of the water retention behaviour of shales

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

Shales are among the most commonly considered geomaterials in current energy-related geomechanical investigations, as they are involved in engineering applications such as the unconventional extraction of natural gas, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste ge ...
