• Acid treatment as a way to reduce shale rock mechanical strength and to create a material prone to the formation of permanent well barrier 

      Gawel, Kamila; Lozovyi, Maksym; Bhuiyan, Mohammad Hossain; Bjørge, Ruben; Fjær, Erling (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Utilization of natural shale formations for the creation of annular barriers in oil and gas wells is currently discussed as a mean of simplifying cumbersome plugging and abandonment procedures. Shales that are likely to ...
    • Effect of electric field on push-out strength of cemented steel pipes 

      Lavrov, Alexandre; Werner, Benjamin; Stroisz, Anna Magdalena; Øia, Thomas Monge; Gawel, Kamila; Torsæter, Malin; Jafariesfad, Narjes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Cement-steel interfacial strength is an important measure for estimating the robustness and hydraulic sealing ability of wells. In this paper, laboratory experiments were performed in which small steel pipes (10 mm in ...
    • Electrokinetics Application in Concrete and Well Construction 

      Jafariesfad, Narjes; Geiker, Mette Rica; Sangesland, Sigbjørn; Gawel, Kamila; Torsæter, Malin (Chapter, 2020)
      Electrically induced or coupled transport processes including electrophoresis, electroosmosis and electromigration in solutions and porous media under an external electric field have been extensively studied and employed ...
