The Geoenergy Systems Laboratory (GSL) in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University specializes in studying the multiphysical processes in the rock-fluid interaction across diverse physics and scales, with the lens of experimental poromechanics. Our research encompasses and aims to couple the geomechanical response, multiphase flow behavior, and reactive transport in porous media. We experimentally simulate high-pressure/temperature in-situ conditions relevant to geoenergy systems such as geologic carbon storage, hydrogen storage, nuclear waste storage, and geothermal energy. Furthermore, we’re advancing the study of CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) and geomechanical behavior of unconventional reservoirs. We study the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) response for the subsurface formations to properly understand the coupled behavior of geoenergy systems. At GSL, we are committed to not only advance our knowledge of multiphysical and multiscale response of subsurface rock, but also to dedicate to an efficient and sustainable energy future.
