Featured Research Projects
Example Project 1
Evaluation of hydro-shearing impact on the fracture response, and suitability of proppants to sustain the fracture permeability under EGS conditions
Example Project 2
Evaluating variation of mechanical properties, pore structure, and permeability of reservoir rocks during geological CO2 sequestration
Example Project 3
Implementing sensors and sensing systems in subsurface and intelligent compaction of geo-materials
All Research
