• Long-term creep prediction with a modified power law model 

      Xie, Xiyang; Fjær, Erling; Pradhan, Srutarshi (Chapter, 2017)
      Creep in weak rock is a common phenomenon observed in the laboratory. Based on short-term creep, prediction of long-term creep can be a challenge especially at elevated stress levels, since only a small stress increase may ...
    • Shale Creep as Leakage Healing Mechanism in CO2 Sequestration 

      Cerasi, Pierre; Lund, Elisabeth; Kleiven, Marta Laukeland; Stroisz, Anna Magdalena; Pradhan, Srutarshi; Kjøller, Claus; Frykman, Peter; Fjær, Erling (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Experiments on shale specimens targeted creep deformation in order to investigate whether this mechanism could be relied upon to close fractures and stop leakage near injection wells. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted ...
    • Stress-Induced Fracturing of Reservoir Rocks: Acoustic monitoring and uCT Image Analysis 

      Pradhan, Srutarshi; Stroisz, Anna Magdalena; Fjær, Erling; Stenebråten, Jørn; Lund, Hans Karl; Sønstebø, Eyvind Frode (Journal article, 2015)
      Stress-induced fracturing in reservoir rocks is an important issue for the petroleum industry. While productivity can be enhanced by a controlled fracturing operation, it can trigger borehole instability problems by ...
