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 ... -
Carbonation of silica cement at high-temperature well conditions
Bjørge, Ruben; Gawel, Kamila; Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Torsæter, Malin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Cements for well environments with temperatures above 110 °C are typically designed with silica additions. This is the case for many of the wells in the North Sea, which is a region promising for large-scale geological ... -
Closing of Micro-cavities in Well Cement upon Exposure to CO2 Brine
Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Torsæter, Malin; Gawel, Kamila; Bjørge, Ruben; Gibaud, Alain; Yang, Yi; Sørensen, Henning; Frykman, Peter; Kjøller, Claus; Breiby, Dag Werner (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Long-lasting cement plugging of wells is crucial for successful CO2 storage in underground reservoirs. It requires a profoundly improved understanding of the behavior of fractured cement under realistic subsurface conditions ... -
Computed X-ray Tomography Study of Carbonate Precipitation in Large Portland Cement Pores
Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Torsæter, Malin; Gawel, Kamila; Bjørge, Ruben; Gibaud, Alain; Bonnin, Anne; Schlepütz, Christian M.; Breiby, Dag Werner (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Cement degradation caused by CO2 exposure is an increasingly important environmental challenge that must be understood, for example, if former oil reservoirs are to be used for CO2 storage. When exposed to CO2-saturated ... -
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 ... -
Effects of Water Content and Temperature on Bulk Resistivity of Hybrid Cement/Carbon Nanofiber Composites
Gawel, Kamila; Taghipour, Ali; Bjørge, Ruben; Wenner, Sigurd; Gawel, Bartlomiej; Ghaderi, Amir; Cerasi, Pierre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cement nanocomposites with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are electrically conductive and sensitive to mechanical loads. These features make them useful for sensing applications. The conductive and load sensing properties are ... -
Electrochemical enhancement and inhibition of calcium carbonate deposition
Edvardsen, Laura; Gawel, Kamila; Torsæter, Malin; Gawel, Bartlomiej; Wenner, Sigurd (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Calcium carbonate is by far the most widespread scaling material. Its deposition in pipes and flowlines has been a long-standing problem for many industries. Hence, a lot of research is devoted to scale inhibition. One of ... -
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 ... -
High resolution interferometry as a tool for characterization of swelling of weakly charged hydrogels subjected to amphiphile and cyclodextrin exposure
Gao, Ming; Gawel, Kamila; Stokke, Bjørn Torger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A high resolution interferometric technique was used to determine swelling behavior of weakly charged polyacrylamide hydrogels in the presence of oppositely charged surfactants and subsequent exposure to cyclodextrins. ... -
