Elastic behavior of partially saturated gas shales during unloading - reloading cycles in uniaxial compression

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi

Elastic properties of gas shales are of utmost importance for the exploitation of shale gas reservoirs. Static elastic properties are usually measured by performing unloading-reloading cycles in uniaxial or triaxial compressive tests. The response of gas s ...

Gas shale water imbibition tests with controlled suction technique

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi

Water loss during flowback operations represents one of the main challenges related to the use of hydraulic stimulation to exploit shale gas resources. About 20% of the injected fracturing fluids are usually recovered after stimulation. Fluid imbibition is ...

The Role of Anisotropy on the Volumetric Behaviour of Opalinus Clay upon Suction Change

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci, Alberto Minardi

An experimental investigation to analyse the anisotropic volumetric response of shaly and sandy facies of Opalinus Clay upon suction variations is presented. Obtained results demonstrate the different behaviour of the tested facies to a wetting-drying cycl ...

Geomechanical Behavior of Shales

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero, Alberto Minardi, Francesco Parisio

The paper presents the recent advances and their relevance in the study of the geomechanical behavior of shales considering both experimental and modelling aspects. Shales are involved in several energy-related engineering applications where complex multip ...

Anisotropic volumetric behaviour of Opalinus Clay shale upon suction variation

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci, Alberto Minardi

Opalinus Clay shale is under consideration to serve as the host geomaterial for the underground storage of nuclear waste in Switzerland. Water retention behaviour and anisotropic behaviour represent two main features of this geomaterial; however, a compreh ...
