SINTEF builds a new Hele-Shaw cell to understand two-phase flow in natural fractures
SINTEF has built a new Hele-Shaw cell to study two-phase flow in natural fractures in geological formations. The cell built at SINTEF is…
Better understanding of electrophoresis through discrete-element modelling
What is electrophoresis? Many fluids found in nature and used in the industry are suspensions of tiny particles in a liquid phase. Often…
Increasing CO2 storage safety through stochastic simulation of well cementing
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is widely accepted as one of the viable solutions to the greenhouse gas problem. An important part of…
Well cementing: The illusion of bonding
In order to access hydrocarbon and geothermal resources, wells are drilled from the Earth’s surface all the way down to the underground reservoir.…
Electrophoresis to improve well construction?
Well construction in oil & gas and geothermal industries becomes increasingly complex and costly as the target depths increase. New ways to reduce…
