• Demonstrating the potential of CO2 hydrate self-sealing in Svalbard, Arctic Norway 

      Almenningen, Stian; Hussain, Arif; Betlem, Peter; Roy, Srikumar; Senger, Kim; Ersland, Geir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10)
      Here we report the potential self-sealing properties of CO2 hydrate for the Longyearbyen CO2 Lab’s shallow aquifer in Svalbard, Arctic Norway, through hydrate formation experiments. The experiments were conducted on a 9 cm ...
    • Increased CO2 storage capacity using CO2-foam 

      Føyen, Tore Lyngås; Brattekås, Bergit; Fernø, Martin; Barrabino, Albert; Holt, Torleif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Reduction of the CO2 mobility is beneficial during subsurface sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 in saline aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs by mitigating flow instabilities leading to early gas breakthrough and poor ...
    • Pore-scale bubble population dynamics of CO2-foam at reservoir pressure 

      Benali, Benyamine; Føyen, Tore Lyngås; Alcorn, Zachary Paul; Haugen, Malin; Gauteplass, Jarand; Kovscek, Anthony R.; Fernø, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The flow of CO2 foam for mobility control in porous media is dictated by the foam texture, or bubble density, which is commonly expressed as the number of bubbles per unit of flowing gas. In most high-pressure laboratory ...
    • Pore-scale spatiotemporal dynamics of microbial-induced calcium carbonate growth and distribution in porous media 

      Liu, Na; Haugen, Malin; Benali, Benyamine; Landa-Marbán, David; Fernø, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The naturally occurring bio-geochemical microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) process is an eco-friendly technology for rehabilitating construction materials, reinforcement of soils and sand, heavy metals ...
