The borehole was then pressurised until failure at a constant volume rate with repeated pauses to record tomographs. The entire assembly was mounted on the I12 beamline, and X-Ray tomographs were recorded repeatedly throughout the experiments. The method and results are described in detail by Chandler et al (2018, in prep) "In-situ X-ray tomography of fluid injection experiments on shale materials at elevated confining pressure"
