Abstract:This paper presents results of direct shear tests on two types of shales; Rurikfjellet from Svalbard, Arctic Norway and Draupne from Ling Depression, the North Sea. Rurikfjellet formation is part of a caprock system for the proposed CO2 storage site at Svalbard. Draupne shale forms the caprock for deep hydrocarbon reservoirs and also the primary seal for Smeaheia, a candidate site for CO2 storage in the North Sea. Four specimens from Rurikfjellet and one specimen from Draupne were tested. Results of the tests … Show more
