Welcome!

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 unconventional oil and gas, geologic carbon storage, hydrogen storage, natural hydrogen storage, geothermal energy, and nuclear waste storage. 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.
