R&D/innovation
The new facility was designed to enable advances in understanding subsurface processes through integrated geomechanics, fluid dynamics, and advanced reservoir characterization.
The 1-month project, led by UT Austin's Estibalitz Ukar, will pump CO2-rich water into a 400-m-deep well to test if magnesium-rich rocks at the test site can capture CO2 by turning it into stable minerals.
After a decade of research, the project boasts several achievements including drilling two test wells at depths below 9,800 ft, detailed geologic modeling and reservoir characterization, and multiple publications.
