Stress sensitivity of permeability in high-permeability sandstone …

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) catalyzed by S. pasteurii has attracted considerable attention as a bio-cement that can both strengthen and seal geomaterials. We investigate the stress sensitivity of permeability reduction for the initially high-permeability Berea sandstone (initial permeability ∼110 mD) under various durations of MICP-grouting …

Experimental investigation of the influence of carbonated …

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) storage and injection into depleted carbonate or tight sandstone reservoirs is a promising method to decrease its emissions.The value of carbon capture and storage (CCS) would be offset by the benefit of enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Reservoir quality and sedimentology in shallow marine sandstones

The cores have variable degrees of carbonate cementation as well as hydrocarbon staining (Fig. 3), with dark brown hydrocarbon staining found in the poorly cemented, more porous zones (Fig. 3 B) and negligible hydrocarbon staining in highly cemented zones (Fig. 3 A and C). Bioturbation is common but with varying intensity and diversity.
