SCT, CSIRO and LKAB Conduct Hydraulic Fracturing Trial in Sweden for Reduction of Mine Seismicity
A team of SCT Engineers led by Dr Rob Jeffrey and Dr Ken Mills travelled to Sweden in May to undertake the first full-scale hydraulic fracturing trial at LKAB’s Kiirunavaara Mine in Northern Sweden. The SCT team consisting of Dr Rob Jeffrey, Dr Ken Mills, Jesse Puller and Kenny Mills worked collaboratively with a team from CSIRO’s Melbourne hydraulic fracturing group and a select group of Engineers from LKAB’s R&D, project and operational rock mechanics departments.

SCT are proud to work with a leading mining house in Sweden
One of our Senior Engineering Geologists, Jesse Puller, recently conducted several underground overcore stress measurements at LKAB's Kirunavarra Mine in Northern Sweden. The project forms part of an ongoing campaign between SCT, LKAB and CSIRO which uses our new wireline deployed downhole logger technology to measure 3D in situ stress.
