Barreiros Jorge, Sofia (author)Subsurface energy projects carry high risk due to the lack of data available to accurately model reservoir characteristics. There is a need for high level analysis to extrapolate subsurface data from a single point (i.e. a well). The focus of this study will be on fracture characterisation in a carbonate reservoir located within the Geneva Basin...master thesis 2022

(author), Maia, Rubson P. (author), Bertotti, G. (author), Auler, Augusto S. (author), Teixeira, Washington L.E. (author)The present study used a multitool approach to characterize fractures of several orders of magnitude in large fracture corridors, caves, and canyons to investigate their impact on fluid flow in carbonate units. The study area is the Brejões carbonate karst system that is located in the Neoproterozoic Salitre Formation in the Irecê Basin, São...journal article 2022

Rossetto, Camillo (author)The interest in carbonate lithologies has risen in the last few decades, due to discoveries of giant and supergiant carbonate reservoirs. While studying the properties of this lithology, the existence of cave systems at great depths was highlighted, since their presence can lead to drilling related problems, as well as change the flow direction...master thesis 2020

Hassan, A.M. (author), Ayoub, M. (author), Eissa, M. (author), Bruining, J. (author), Zitha, P.L.J. (author)This contribution focuses on surface complexes in the calcite-brine-surfactant system. This is relevant for the recovery of oil when using a new hybrid enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method, which combines smart-water (i.e., ionically modified brine) and foam-flooding (SWAF) of light oil with dissolved carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) at high...journal article 2020
