• CO2 Convection in Hydrocarbon Under Flowing Conditions 

      Mykkeltvedt, Trine Solberg; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Sandve, Tor Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Carbon-neutral oil production is one way to improve the sustainability of petroleum resources. The emissions from produced hydrocarbons can be offset by injecting capture CO2 from a nearby point source into a saline aquifer ...
    • Dynamic PVT model for CO2-EOR black-oil simulations 

      Sandve, Tor Harald; Sævareid, Ove; Aavatsmark, Ivar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      A well-planned CO2EOR operation can help meet an ever-increasing need for energy and at the same time reduce the total CO2 footprint from the energy production. Good simulation studies are crucial for investment decisions ...
    • Effective permeability of deformation bands in fault damage zones – Can deformation bands reduce the risk of fault leakage? 

      Berge, Runar Lie; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Sandve, Tor Harald (Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      Faults are major geological structures that can dominate the flow paths in subsurface reservoirs by, e.g., connecting otherwise unconnected layers. In CO2 storage sites where the faults act as the main structural trap, the ...
    • Field-scale impacts of long-term wettability alteration in geological CO2 storage 

      Kassa, Abay; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Landa-Marbán, David; Sandve, Tor Harald; Kumar, Kundan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Constitutive functions that govern macroscale capillary pressure and relative permeability are central in constraining both storage efficiency and sealing properties of storage systems. Constitutive functions for porous ...
    • Numerical studies of long-term wettability alteration effects in CO2 storage applications 

      Landa-Marbán, David; Kumar, Kundan; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Sandve, Tor Harald; Kassa, Abay (Lecture, 2021)
      The wettability of the rock surface in porous media has an effect on the constitutive saturation functions that govern capillary pressure and relative permeability. The term wettability alteration refers to the change of ...
    • The Open Porous Media Flow Reservoir Simulator 

      Rasmussen, Atgeirr Flø; Sandve, Tor Harald; Bao, Kai; Lauser, Andreas; Hove, Joakim; Skaflestad, Bård; Klöfkorn, Robert; Blatt, Markus; Rustad, Alf Birger; Sævareid, Ove; Lie, Knut-Andreas; Thune, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Open Porous Media (OPM) initiative is a community effort that encourages open innovation and reproducible research for simulation of porous media processes. OPM coordinates collaborative software development, maintains ...
