Reservoir simulation
Modeling solubility trapping at reservoir scale remains a key challenge for carbon storage projects. This study introduces a novel sub-grid convective mixing model, implemented in the Open Porous Media Flow simulator and applied to the SPE11 benchmark, that enables accurate prediction of carbon dioxide dissolution trapping in geological storage using computationally e…
This study applies Monte Carlo simulation and an XGBoost regression model to assess the influence of various formations, geologic provinces, tectonic-plate types, and boundary conditions on hydrogen concentrations.
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.
