The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

The goal of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature
describing the physical and chemical mechanisms for enhanced oil recovery under smart …

The aim of this review is to characterize the role of pressure solution creep in the ductility of
the Earth's upper crust and to describe how this creep mechanism competes and interacts …

Stylolites are ubiquitous geo-patterns observed in rocks in the upper crust, from geological
reservoirs in sedimentary rocks to deformation zones, in folds, faults, and shear zones …

The objective of the present study is to provide a better understanding about the mechanism
for weakening of chalk reservoirs when injecting large quantities of seawater to improve the …

Chalk petroleum reservoirs are characterized as fragmentary parts of calcite skeletons
produced by plankton algae, known as coccolithophorids. As water injection into chalk …

Pressure solution is an efficient compaction mechanism leading to porosity/permeability
reduction in both clastic and carbonate rocks. We performed compaction experiments on …

Geological repositories subject to the injection of large amounts of anthropogenic carbon
dioxide will undergo chemical and mechanical instabilities for which there are currently little …

We performed triaxial deformation experiments on a water‐saturated porous limestone
under constant strain rate and constant stress (creep) conditions. The tests were conducted …

Chalk is a sedimentary rock of unusually high homogeneity on the scale where physical
properties are measured, but the properties fall in wide ranges. Chalk may thus be seen as …
