Sustainable Oil Production & Gas Storage I

Undergraduate

examines the fundamentals to sustainably producing fossil fuels, in-situ carbon utilization and sequestration, and hydrogen storage. Students will be able to describe rock and fluid properties then use their knowledge of Darcy’s Law and apply it to determine how much CO2/H2 can be stored or oil/gas produced. Students will learn material balances of single phase flow in porous media, natural forces, well inflow and performance, and how to predict and maximize fluid injection and production.
