#ResearchSpotlight: In "Time-Dependent Elastoplastic Stress of an Infinite Matrix around a Growing Poroelastic Inhom*ogeneity Inclusion," Yidi Wu's findings indicate that the (poro)elastic models that are predominantly utilized in the existing studies could substantially underestimate the caprock shear failure threshold. The research may serve as a new benchmarking tool. https://ow.ly/KTip50RaPeB"Results showed that a 0.8% allowance for elastoplastic strain in the caprock could yield up to a 100% increase in the fluid injectivity of the embedded reservoir," said Wu. "These results underline the necessity for considering plastic deformation and stress analysis in studies on caprock integrity analysis.#CarbonSequestration #CarbonCapture #RockMechanic #Sustainability

#ResearchSpotlight: CHIMA FINNIAN UKAOMAH's"Experimental and molecular investigation of water adsorption controls in marine and lacustrine shale reservoirs" in the Journal of Hydrology reveals a new consideration when modeling CO2 injections in shale for enhanced oil recovery. https://ow.ly/kUMZ50R8HVm"Before you commence injections, you must factor in the organic matter in your model because our research shows an impact on CO2 migration in shale reservoirs," said Ukaomah.Ukaomah began this research in China when an oil shale reservoir was newly discovered. He was thankful to be at the "right time, right place" to investigate a significant issue facing the industry — and find a new subject that energized him to complete his third paper. #WaterAdsorption #Shale #CO2storage #EOA
