The theoretical potential for large-scale underground thermal energy storage (UTES) within the UK (2020)
Journal Article
Gluyas, J., Adams, C., & Wilson, I. (2020). The theoretical potential for large-scale underground thermal energy storage (UTES) within the UK. Energy Reports, 6(7), 229-237. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2020.12.006

Large scale storage of heat is critical for the successful decarbonisation of the UK’s energy mix and for grid-balancing. Heat generation currently accounts for 50% of all energy use in the UK and most of this is produced by burning fossil natural ga...

Optimizing geophysical muon radiography using information theory (2019)
Journal Article
Benton, C., Mitchell, C., Coleman, M., Paling, S., Lincoln, D., Thompson, L., Clark, S., & Gluyas, J. (2020). Optimizing geophysical muon radiography using information theory. Geophysical Journal International, 220(2), 1078-1094. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggz503

Cosmic ray muons are highly penetrating, with some reaching several kilometres into solid rock. Consequently, muon detectors have been used to probe the interiors of large geological structures, by observing how the muon flux varies with direction of...

Carbon capture and storage is a transition technology from a past and present fuelled by coal, oil and gas and a planned future dominated by renewable energy sources. The technology involves the capture of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel po... Read More about Passive, continuous monitoring of carbon dioxide geostorage using muon tomography.

Diagenetic and geochemical studies of the Buchan Formation (Upper Devonian) in the Central North Sea (2018)
Journal Article
Tang, L.-X., Gluyas, J., Jones, S., & Bowen, L. (2018). Diagenetic and geochemical studies of the Buchan Formation (Upper Devonian) in the Central North Sea. Petroleum Science, 15(2), 211-229. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12182-018-0232-3

The Upper Devonian Buchan Formation reservoirs in the UK Central North Sea are litharenite/sublitharenite and were deposited in fluvial–aeolian settings. The grain-coating clays in the aeolian sandstones have effectively inhibited quartz overgrowth....
