• 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 ...
    • Energy Storage Solutions for Offshore Applications 

      Arellano Prieto, Yessica Alexandra; Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Salvo Rossi, Pierluigi; Finotti, Francesco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Increased renewable energy production and storage is a key pillar of net-zero emission. The expected growth in the exploitation of offshore renewable energy sources, e.g., wind, provides an opportunity for decarbonising ...
    • Real Time 3D Observations of Portland Cement Carbonation at CO2 Storage Conditions 

      Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Cordonnier, Benoit; Gawel, Kamila; Børve, Ingrid; Iyer, Jaisree; Carroll, Susan; Michels, Leander; Rogowska, Melania; McBeck, Jessica Ann; Sørensen, Henning; Walsh, Stuart; Renard, Francois; Gibaud, Alain; Torsæter, Malin; Breiby, Dag Werner (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Depleted oil reservoirs are considered a viable solution to the global challenge of CO2 storage. A key concern is whether the wells can be suitably sealed with cement to hinder the escape of CO2. Under reservoir conditions, ...
    • A review of the use of nanofluids as heat-transfer fluids in parabolic-trough collectors 

      Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Finotti, Francesco; Largiller, Gregory; Lervåg, Karl Yngve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Due to their enhanced thermophysical properties, nanofluids have great potential for improving heat-transfer efficiency. Nanofluids are employed in various thermal applications in the automotive industry, heat exchangers, ...
    • Salt clogging during supercritical CO2 injection into a downscaled borehole model 

      Berntsen, Andreas Nicolas; Todorovic, Jelena; Raphaug, Martin Hagen; Torsæter, Malin; Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Gawel, Kamila (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Injection of CO2 into saline storage aquifers is often accompanied by drying of the formation water and salt precipitation. Subsequent salt clogging of a well bore and the near wellbore rock matrix may lead to injectivity ...
    • Synchrotron Study of Cement Hydration: Towards Computed Tomography Analysis of Interfacial Transition Zone 

      Lavrov, Alexandre; Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Torsæter, Malin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The quality of bonding between cement and steel in wells is controlled by the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). Micro-computed X-ray tomography (μ-CT) imaging with synchrotron radiation was used in the current paper to ...
    • Thermal expansion of SrxBa1−xNb2O6 across and above the ferroelectric phase transition 

      Pedersen, Viviann Hole; Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Hua, Weicheng; Michaelsen, Marcus Grand; Chernyshov, Dmitry; Walker, Julian Bradley; Grande, Tor; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Lead-free SrxBa1−xNb2O6(SBN) is of interest due to flexible chemistry, ferroelectric behavior, and electro-optic properties. The thermal expansion coefficient for SBN is reported only for compositions x = 0.35–0.59 and ...
    • X-ray nanoscopy of a bulk heterojunction 

      Patil, Nilesh; Skjønsfjell, Eirik Torbjørn Bakken; Van den Brande, Niko; Chavez Panduro, Elvia Anabela; Claessens, Raf; Guizar-Sicairos, Manuel; Van Mele, Bruno; Breiby, Dag Werner (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Optimizing the morphology of bulk heterojunctions is known to significantly improve the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells, but available quantitative imaging techniques are few and have severe limitations. ...
