Within the Enhanced Oil Recovery and CO₂ solutions laboratory there are 5 HPHT core flooding rigs and a suite of chemical analytical facilities. These include two dynamic tube blocking rigs, two ICP-OES spectrometers, one Dionex HPLC, one Karl Fischer Titrator, 5 ovens, 4 fume hoods and access to IPE's Scanning Electron Microscopy.
- Flow experiments with operating pressures of up to 10,000 psia and temperatures up to 150 °C can be accommodated in the laboratory
- CO2Inj Joint Industry Project
Investigation into process of CO₂ injection in depleted oil reservoir to maximise both CO₂ storage and additional oil recovery potential - Leakage Prevention Method Joint industry Project
Develop innovative & unique CO₂ leak prevention technique to automatically detect & seal CO₂ leaks from both known and unknown leakage paths in geological reservoirs - Enhanced Non-Thermal Heavy Oil Recovery JIP
Flow visualisation experiments using high-pressure micromodel test facility, core/sand pack flow studies using high pressure core flood rig and numerical simulation
