Rocks can deform at varying scales (nano-, micro-and macro-scale) under different
temperatures, pressures, stresses, and time conditions. Sub-core scale (nano-to micro …

Abstract Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) has been widely adopted as a key
technology to mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and to meet the 2050 net …

Volcanic rocks are the prominent host rocks in geothermal and volcanic systems in general,
displaying heterogeneity. Although various external factors such as temperature, pressure …

Shale reservoirs have been a significant focus of hydrocarbon production over the past few
decades, and the mechanical assessment of target shale reservoirs has been critical to …

In this study, a suite of tests was conducted to investigate the microscale mechanical, elastic,
and microstructural alterations due to rock–microbial interactions in dolomitic rocks …

Unconventional geo-resources are critical due to their important contributions to energy
