... the mechanical, microstructural and mineralogical properties, (2.) reduce its mechanical integrity, and (3.) improve hydrocarbon recovery from Niobrara shales in addition to other stimulation techniques. 1 Introduction Biogeomechanics is the scientific study of how biological processes influence...

..., mining, and other industries. However, understanding the mechanical integrity and peak strength of these cement systems are important for improving their applicability at varying in-situ-pressure and temperature conditions. Here, we experimentally investigated the mechanical integrity of the microbial...

... on critical plastic strain. This strain-based criterion provides a more insightful view into the mechanical integrity of the liner, allowing for a better informed decision on whether to proceed or not with further drawdowns. For simulations using a conservative drawdown program forecast, it was identified...

... to postulate its potential mechanical integrity. Then Helium-Gas Porosimetry and Liquid-Pulse Decay Permeametry was conducted on three varying levels of Gilsonite-enriched cement cores before and after exposure to Natural Gas to determine its feasibility as a cement additive. These experiments lead...
