Rock macro-indentation plays a fundamental role in mechanical rock breaking for various
rock engineering application, such as drilling, tunneling, cutting, and sawing. Over the past …

Carbonate rocks are extensively used in civil infrastructure and play a critical role in
geoenergy geoengineering, either as hydrocarbon reservoirs or potential repositories for CO …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group is renowned as a major aquifer, but the
development of secondary porosity due to karstic conduits is poorly understood …

The objective of this paper is to address the impact of texture (and thus the related
sedimentary environments and facies and diagenetic overprint) on the geomechanical …

This study presents an improved understanding of how high-velocity fluid jet affects the
mechanical properties of chalk, building a solid ground for the borehole stability analysis …

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC–CO 2) is an ideal working fluid to develop geological
resources, while the efficient development and utilization are seriously hindered by the …

The macro-indentation test is widely used to evaluate rock mechanical properties. Due to the
complex indentation process and the multi-peak force–penetration curve, many indentation …

Submerged marine terraces potentially provide crucial information on past sea-level
variations and paleo-coastline locations that may be used to estimate long-term coastal …

As a result of increasing interest in unconventional reservoirs, a wide range of sedimentary
systems are now being investigated with regard to petroleum applications, including various …

Geomechanical studies in carbonate rocks often require the use of log relations to obtain
mechanical properties when laboratory measurements are not available. This study …
