Dave Whitworth gives a part technical, part geoliday write up of his PhD fieldwork to southwestern Utah. His study area is centred on the Zion National Park and his research focusses on the interactions between continental and marine sediments and their potential to act as reservoirs for carbon storage. Continue reading to learn more and see some fantastic pictures of the geology and landscape.
This series has run over 7 previous articles and has focussed on the key technical distinctions between carbon dioxide storage projects and traditional hydrocarbon production. Read our latest blog, the last in the set, to recap what we have discussed and learn what Merlin has to offer.
Modelling CO2 storage sites presents unique challenges compared to traditional reservoir simulations due to the different timescales the models need to operate over. Read our latest article to learn more.
In this latest blog post, we delve into the role of geomechanics which describes how fluids influence rock behaviour. Continue reading to learn more.
Ensuring the integrity of the caprock is paramount for the long-term viability of a Carbon Dioxide storage site. Continue reading to learn more about the challenges of caprock evaluation.
The GESGB and SEAPEX Asia Pacific conference is taking place on Tuesday 18th to Wednesday 19th June at the Kia Oval, London. Our Chartered Geologist, Helen Bone, and Reservoir Engineer, Ben Adillah, will be attending.
In the final blog in this series about Compressed Air Energy Storage we look at the potential offshore application of the technology.
Energy storage systems exist primarily to bridge the gap between energy production and energy consumption. This blog post focuses on the use of man-made salt caverns which have long been recognised as promising for gas storage options including Compressed Air Energy Storage.
As we need to increase the amount of renewable energy in the energy mix going forward as part of the energy transition, the requirement for energy storage solutions is imperative. Continue reading to find out more.
Our Principal Stratigrapher Phil Copestake will be giving the next GESGB evening lecture online on 30th April. Continue reading to find out more about his talk and how to register.
Understanding flow physics is important in modelling the movement of CO₂ underground. Continue reading to learn more about these modelling techniques, focusing on invasion percolation.
The fluid dynamics of CO₂ differ significantly from those of hydrocarbons due to variations in density, viscosity, and phase behaviour. A nuanced understanding of CO₂ flow physics is imperative for effective modelling and prediction. Continue reading our latest blog to find out more.
