      Emmel, Benjamin; Bjørkvik, Bård Johan Arnt; Føyen, Tore Lyngås; Cerasi, Pierre; Stroisz, Anna Magdalena (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The underground hydrogen storage (UHS) capacities of shut down oil and gas (O&G) fields along the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) are evaluated based on the publicly available geological and hydrocarbon production data. ...

    • Experimental Investigation of the Influence of Injection Pressure and Clay Smear on Fault Reactivation for Co2 Storage 

      Griffiths, Luke; Park, Joonsang; Cerasi, Pierre; Edvardsen, Laura; Wüstefeld, Andreas (SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      Induced microseismicity from subsurface engineering projects such as geothermal heat exploitation and CO2 storage can be a show-stopper and halt the development of a site. While microseismicity correlates with fluid injection ...

    • Fast Evaluation of Caprock Strength Sensitivity to Different CO2 Solutions Using Small Sample Techniques 

      Edvardsen, Laura; Bhuiyan, Mohammad Hossain; Cerasi, Pierre; Bjørge, Ruben (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The Draupne shale is a rock formation functioning as overburden for gas reservoirs in the Norwegian Sea and potentially as caprock for future CO2 storage locations as well. In this paper, the Draupne shale was exposed to ...

    • Impact of Innovations from the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS) 

      Tangen, Grethe; Kim, Inna; Brunsvold, Amy; Mølnvik, Mona J.; Vevelstad, Solrun J.; Skurtveit, Elin; Roussanaly, Simon; Munkejord, Svend T.; Cerasi, Pierre; Eliasson, Peder (SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter, 2021)
      We have evaluated the potential impact of the research and innovation performed in the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS). In this context, impact was evaluated along several axes. Examples include reduced emissions, ...

    • Micro- and macroscale consequences of interactions between CO2 and shale rocks 

      Bhuiyan, Mohammad Hossain; Agofack, Nicolaine; Gawel, Kamila; Cerasi, Pierre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In carbon storage activities, and in shale oil and gas extraction (SOGE) with carbon dioxide (CO2) stimulation fluid, CO2 comes into contact with shale rock and its pore fluid. As a reactive fluid, the injected CO2 displays ...

    • Monitoring of Co2 Well Plug Integrity. Electrical Response of Cement/CNF Sensor to Mechanical Load, Water Saturation and Carbonation 

      Gawel, Kamila; Wenner, Sigurd; Taghipour, Ali; Szewczyk, Dawid; Edvardsen, Laura; Brocks, Anette; Hagen, Anna Stroisz; Gawel, Bartlomiej; Bjørge, Ruben; Ghaderi, Amir; Cerasi, Pierre; Malin, Torsæter (SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      CO2 storage wells will eventually need to be permanently plugged and abandoned. Subsidence, fault/fracture reactivation or chemical degradation can all adversely affect well plug integrity leading to CO2 leakages. Thus, ...

    • Nanoscale imaging of shale fragments with coherent X-ray diffraction 

      Chattopadhyay, Basab; Madathiparambil, Aldritt Scaria; Mürer, Fredrik Kristoffer; Cerasi, Pierre; Chushkin, Yuriy; Zontone, Federico; Gibaud, Alain; Breiby, Dag Werner (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Despite the abundance of shales in the Earth's crust and their industrial and environmental importance, their microscale physical properties are poorly understood, owing to the presence of many structurally related mineral ...

    • On the effect of co2 on seismic and ultrasonic properties: A novel shale experiment 

      Rørheim, Stian; Bhuiyan, Mohammad Hossain; Bauer, Andreas; Cerasi, Pierre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Carbon capture and storage (CCS) by geological sequestration comprises a permeable formation (reservoir) for CO2 storage topped by an impermeable formation (caprock). Time-lapse (4D) seismic is used to map CO2 movement in ...
