... dynamic and static data from sub-surface formations. Use of cuttings and small samples can greatly improve the data availability, particularly where proper cores are not available. P. 23 wellbore integrity soft shale transducer exposure procedure anisotropy shale experiment deformation...

... and applied a moment tensor inversion procedure to located AE. This allows a direct analysis of the mechanics driving the cracking. We present and compare results from two tests (triaxial loading and triaxial unloading) using Springwell sandstone to show the capabilities of the laboratory and processing...

... the model in a way which allows direct estimation of the model parameters from the laboratory data, eliminating much of the subjectivity in the parameter estimation. This procedure allow us to give a more precise evaluation of the strengths and short comings of the model. Examples of how well North Sea weak...
