Development of multiscale microbial kinetic-transport models for prediction and optimization of biogenic coalbed methane production
DownloadFall 2015
The fundamental objective of this research project is to develop an enzymatic reaction kinetic model for coal bioconversion which, on integration with multiscale transport models, would allow simulation and optimization of field scale biogenic coalbed methane production. Biogenic coalbed methane...

Machine learning-based design and techno-economic assessments of adsorption processes for CO2 capture
DownloadFall 2021
Cyclic adsorption processes are widely considered for various industrial gas separations, including CO2 capture. The flexibility to configure a variety of process cycles is an attractive process design feature of these processes. Despite such flexibility for process design, computationally...

Spring 2022
Processing of complex feedstocks for the production of value-added chemicals and fuels is industrially important. The lack of a priori knowledge of the innumerable species and the reaction pathways governing their conversion, has posed challenges to monitoring these processes. Although,...

Real-Time Feedback Control of the SAGD Process using Model Predictive Control to Improve Recovery: A Simulation Study
DownloadSpring 2015
Scope of the Work: For over a decade, the oil industry has been moving to “smart fields”, which deploy wells with remotely operated valves and permanently installed downhole sensors for real-time pressure and temperature measurements. Real-time data from these “intelligent wells” provide key...

RESERVOIR HISTORY MATCHING USING CONSTRAINED ENSEMBLE KALMAN FILTER AND PARTICLE FILTER METHODS
DownloadSpring 2015
The high heterogeneity of petroleum reservoirs, represented by their spatially varying rock properties (porosity and permeability), greatly dictates the quantity of recoverable oil. In this work, the estimation of these rock properties, which is crucial for the future performance prediction of a...
