      Successful deployment of geological carbon storage (GCS) requires an extensive use of reservoir simulators for screening, ranking and optimization of storage sites. However, the time scales of GCS are such that no sufficient ...

    • Immiscible Viscous Fingering: Modelling Unstable Water–Oil Displacement Experiments in Porous Media 

      Salmo, Iselin Cecilie; Sorbie, K.S.; Skauge, Arne; Alzaabi, Mohamed Adel Khalfan A (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Viscous fingering in porous media occurs when the (miscible or immiscible) displacing fluid has a lower viscosity than the displaced fluid. For example, immiscible fingering is observed in experiments where water displaces ...

    • The Mechanism for Improved Polymer Gel Blocking During Low-Salinity Waterfloods, Investigated Using Positron Emission Tomography Imaging 

      Brattekås, Bergit; Seright, Randall S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Polymer gels can be placed in fractures within subsurface reservoirs to improve sweep efficiency during subsequent floods, and its success is largely determined by the gel’s ability to completely occupy the fracture volume. ...

    • Numerical Modelling of Convection‑Driven Cooling, Deformation and Fracturing of Thermo‑Poroelastic Media 

      Stefansson, Ivar; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Halldorsdottir, Sæunn; Berre, Inga (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Convection-driven cooling in porous media influences thermo-poro-mechanical stresses, thereby causing deformation. These processes are strongly influenced by the presence of fractures, which dominate flow and heat transfer. ...

      Pruess, Karsten; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-02-02)
      We have used the TOUGH2-MP/ECO2N code to perform numerical simulation studies of the long-term behavior of CO2 stored in an aquifer with a sloping caprock. This problem is of great practical interest, and is very challenging ...

    • On the Modelling of Immiscible Viscous Fingering in Two Phase Flow in Porous Media 

      Sorbie, Ken; Al Ghafri, A.Y.; Skauge, Arne; Mackay, Eric (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Viscous fingering in porous media is an instability which occurs when a low-viscosity injected fluid displaces a much more viscous resident fluid, under miscible or immiscible conditions. Immiscible viscous fingering is ...

    • Pore-level Ostwald ripening of CO2 foams at reservoir pressure 

      Benali, Benyamine; Sæle, Aleksandra Magdalena; Liu, Na; Fernø, Martin; Alcorn, Zachary Paul (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The success of foam to reduce CO2 mobility in CO2 enhanced oil recovery and CO2 storage operations depends on foam stability in the reservoir. Foams are thermodynamically unstable, and factors such as surfactant adsorption, ...
