Comparison of relative permeability–saturation–capillary pressure models for simulation of reservoir CO2 injection (2015)
Journal Article
Oostrom, M., White, M., Porse, S., Krevor, S., & Mathias, S. (2016). Comparison of relative permeability–saturation–capillary pressure models for simulation of reservoir CO2 injection. International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 45, 70-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2015.12.013

Constitutive relations between relative permeability (kr), fluid saturation (S), and capillary pressure (Pc) determine to a large extent the distribution of brine and supercritical CO2 (scCO2) during subsurface injection operations. Published numeric... Read More about Comparison of relative permeability–saturation–capillary pressure models for simulation of reservoir CO2 injection.

Impact of maximum allowable cost on CO2 storage capacity in saline formations (2015)
Journal Article
Mathias, S., Gluyas, J., Goldthorpe, W., & Mackay, E. (2015). Impact of maximum allowable cost on CO2 storage capacity in saline formations. Environmental Science and Technology, 49(22), 13510-13518. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5b02836

Injecting CO2 into deep saline formations represents an important component of many greenhouse gas reduction strategies for the future. A number of authors have posed concern over the thousands of injection wells likely to be needed. However, a more...

An irregular feather-edge and potential outcrop of marine gas hydrate along the Mauritanian margin (2015)
Journal Article
Davies, R. J., Yang, J., Mathias, S., Hobbs, R., & Li, A. (2015). An irregular feather-edge and potential outcrop of marine gas hydrate along the Mauritanian margin. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 423, 202-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2015.04.013

The dissociation of marine hydrate that surrounds continental margins is thought to be an agent for past and future climate change. As the water depth decreases landwards, the base of the hydrate stability zone progressively shallows until hydrate ca...

Numerical simulation of Forchheimer flow to a partially penetrating well with a mixed-type boundary condition (2015)
Journal Article
Mathias, S., & Wen, Z. (2015). Numerical simulation of Forchheimer flow to a partially penetrating well with a mixed-type boundary condition. Journal of Hydrology, 524, 53-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2015.02.015

This article presents a numerical study to investigate the combined role of partial well penetration (PWP) and non-Darcy effects concerning the performance of groundwater production wells. A finite difference model is developed in MATLAB to solve the... Read More about Numerical simulation of Forchheimer flow to a partially penetrating well with a mixed-type boundary condition.

The late field life of the East Midlands Petroleum Province; a new geothermal prospect? (2015)
Journal Article
Hirst, C., Gluyas, J., & Mathias, S. (2015). The late field life of the East Midlands Petroleum Province; a new geothermal prospect?. Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 48(2), 104-114. https://doi.org/10.1144/qjegh2014-072

Modification of existing oilfield infrastructure could deliver a cost-effective way to extend the economic life of depleted onshore oilfields. Naturally warm connate and injection water contained within these fields could be initially co-produced wit...
