    • 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. ...

    • 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, ...

    • Relationship Between Microbial Growth and Hydraulic Properties at the Sub-Pore Scale 

      Hassannayebi, Neda; Jammernegg, Boris; Schritter, Johanna; Arnold, Pit; Enzmann, Frieder; Kersten, Michael; Loibner, Andreas P.; Fernø, Martin; Ott, Holger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Accumulation of microbial biomass and its influence on porous media flow were investigated under saturated flow conditions. Microfluidic experiments were performed with model organisms, and their accumulation was observed ...

    • Room-Scale CO2 Injections in a Physical Reservoir Model with Faults 

      Fernø, Martin; Haugen, Malin; Eikehaug, Kristoffer; Folkvord, Olav Parelius; Benali, Benyamine; Both, Jakub Wiktor; Storvik, Erlend; Nixon, Casey William; Gawthrope, R.L.; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      We perform a series of repeated CO2 injections in a room-scale physical model of a faulted geological cross-section. Relevant parameters for subsurface carbon storage, including multiphase flows, capillary CO2 trapping, ...
