A scientific visitor helps improve the monitoring of CO2 storage facilities
Over the past ten years, IFPEN has been conducting research on the geochemical monitoring of the geological storage of CO 2, in order to gain a better understanding of the natural water flows that may

Foam rheology in porous media
For processes involving gas injection, such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR a) and CO 2 storage operations, the use of foam makes it easier to control gas mobility. Improving these processes requires

Phase equilibria in confined media
In many geological reservoirs, pore size distribution is highly heterogeneous (from 2 to 50 nm). While the molecular size of the confined fluids is between 0.5 and 10 nm, their interaction forces with

What percentage of free compounds in porous media?
The energy mix required to satisfy global needs will include fossil hydrocarbons for some time to come. Therefore, estimating existing reserves, i.e., the quantity of liquid organic compounds present

Adsorption, a key factor for geological storage
Low permeability geological layers, already known within the context of oil exploration, are once again becoming a focus of interest for energy (compressed air), gas (CO 2, H 2, CH 4) and waste
