CCUS Capacity Building and Technology Adoption in Mexico

Burton E., Mateer N., Mota J., University Caifornia Berkeley, US

Mexico has committed in the Paris Agreement to ambitious greenhouse gas reductions by 2030. Their plan to meet these goals, which is summarized in the CCUS Technology Roadmap in Mexico, includes widespread deployment of CCUS [...]

Nanoscale Flow Chip Platform For Laboratory Evaluation Of Enhanced Oil Recovery Materials

Engel M., Neumann R.F., Giro R., Bryant P.W., Steiner M.B., IBM Research Brazil, BR

We present a lab-on-chip platform for the experimental evaluation of Enhanced Oil Recovery [EOR] methods from the nanoscale to the scale of reservoir rock pore networks. We have employed semiconductor process technology to build lab-on-chip [...]

Surfactants Nanocarriers to Enhanced oil Recovery (EOR)

Nascimento R.S.V., UFRJ, BR

The use organic surfactant nanocarriers as interfacial tension reducing agents is proposed in this work. These particles are able to permeate into the pores of the reservoir and release the surfactant by solubilization of the [...]
