The study of phase behaviour and fluid dynamics in shale reservoirs has emerged as a critical area in both fundamental research and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Shale formations, characterised by a ...

Our research group utilizes three state-of-the-art experimental setups (see below) to investigate reservoir fluid properties, including phase transitions of pure fluids and mixtures confined in ...

Morteza Dejam, a UW assistant professor of petroleum engineering, works in his lab. Dejam and Hertanto Adidharma, a UW professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, are UW lead authors of a paper, ...

Supercritical fluids are crucial to understand giant planets such as Jupiter and Neptune, where similar states of matter may reign. A study now published in Nature Communications brings remarkable ...

An Australian-led study has provided new insight into the behaviour of rotating superfluids. A defining feature of superfluids is that they exhibit quantised vortices – they can only rotate with one, ...

Rig-site fluid test automation has lagged automated drilling technology and is now a bottleneck to real-time drilling diagnostics and decisions. A new automated mud skid (AMS) addresses this gap by ...
