Multiscale physics for enhanced oil recovery

该项目旨在开发一种用于联合提高采收率(EOR)和二氧化碳储存的多尺度数学和实验室模拟方法，并为Santos的Mulberry油田综合这项技术作为测试案例。多学科团队将开发先进的油藏和实验室规模的数学模型和新颖的实验室方法，以提高现代提高采收率和二氧化碳储存的可靠性，并增加澳大利亚和全球公司对其的吸收。预期的结果是一种开创性的方法，在不增加钻探和减少温室效应的情况下产生环境效益，并通过提高生产率为澳大利亚石油行业带来经济利益。

The project aims to develop a multiscale mathematical and laboratory modelling methodology for combined enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO2 storage, and synthesise the technology for Santos’s Mulberry oilfield as a test case. The multidisciplinary team will develop advanced reservoir- and laboratory-scale mathematical models and novel laboratory methods to enhance the reliability of modern EOR and CO2 storage and increase its uptake by companies in Australia and globally. The expected outcomes are a pioneering methodology with environmental benefits without additional drilling and reduction of greenhouse effect, and economic benefit to the Australian oil industry through increases in productivity.
