研究领域
My research interests focus on the thermophysical properties of fluids and fluid mixtures and incorporates applied thermodynamics, apparatus/sensor development, and molecular theory. Experimental, theoretical and computational work is carried out as a part of a fundamental research programme with numerous applications including oilfield processes and carbon dioxide capture and storage. Current projects in these areas include:
THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MIXTURES OF CARBON DIOXIDE WITH BRINES AND HYDROCARBONS FOR APPLICATION IN CARBON STORAGE
This research is being undertaken as a part of the 10-year, $70M Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre (QCCSRC) programme started in 2008. The project is developing an integrated suite of experimental measurements combined with pore-scale and thermodynamic models of CO2-brine-oil fluid systems in carbonate reservoir formations at a level of detail and with a predictive capability unmatched in the industry. My research is focused on experimental measurements and modelling of phase behaviour, interfacial properties, viscosity, diffusion, pH and mineral dissolution kinetics in complex mixtures at reservoir conditions. A special emphasis has been placed on the study of complex brines, representative of carbonate formation waters, and their mixtures with carbon dioxide. The programme also includes a wide-ranging study of the phase behaviour of mixtures containing CO2, light gases and complex hydrocarbon liquids. The scope has recently been expanded to account for some of the impurities that will typically be present in the CO2 stream, including both diluents (N2, H2, O2) and other acid gases (SO2, H2S). A suite of novel experimental apparatus has been developed to permit the experimental measurements on corrosive fluids (e.g. brines and acid gases) under conditions of elevated temperature (up to 473 K) and elevated pressure (up to 50 MPa). Based largely on the large body of data gathered in this project, a consistent and accurate modelling platform is emerging for the thermophysical properties of CO2 and its mixtures with reservoir fluids in the subsurface environment.
THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES AND FLOW IN MICRO- AND NANO-POROUS ROCKS
This key research theme in the Shell-funded Digital Rocks programme is aimed at understanding the effects of confinement in micro- and nano-porous materials on the phase behaviour and other properties of mixtures. A key potential application relates to the production of oil and gas from shales and other tight rocks, where the hydrocarbon fluids are confined in a reservoir formation with pore sizes in the nanometre range. A combination of sorption and exclusion phenomena are thought to strongly influence the phase behaviour, and a fundamental understanding of these phenomena could greatly assist in the design of effective, economic and environmentally-sound extraction processes. An experimental study involving synthetic porous media and simple hydrocarbon mixtures has been initiated. Raman spectroscopy is being used together with PVT measurements to infer the composition of hydrocarbon mixtures coexisting in the porous medium and the bulk fluid under conditions of high temperature and high pressure. The experimental studies are closely linked to molecular simulations of hydrocarbon fluids in nanopores. The objective is to develop and validate equation of state models that can ultimately be applied in the field.
PRE-COMBUSTION CO2 CAPTURE BY LOW-TEMPERATURE SEPARATION
This project is related to the production of clean hydrogen fuel gas from fossil fuel feedstocks, and focuses on fundamental understanding of the separation of CO2 from a H2- and CO2-rich synthesis gas by means of high-pressure, low-temperature flash processes. The study involves experimental measurements of the low-temperature, high-pressure vapour-liquid and vapour-liquid-solid equilibria of mixtures containing H2, CO2 and other substances that will be present as impurities. A state-of-the-art computer-controlled VLE apparatus has been developed that can operate at pressures up to 20 MPa and at temperatures down to 183 K. We are also investigating the efficacy of alternative hybrid process configurations involving low-temperature flash units in combination with a secondary method such as a pressure-swing sorption of membrane separation.
VISCOSITY OF CRUDE OILS AND HYDROCARBON MIXTURES
This project is focused on measurement and modelling of crude-oil viscosity under the conditions of temperature and pressure encountered both in the reservoir and in production tubules. Both synthetic hydrocarbon mixtures and crude-oil systems are being studied, as well as their mixtures with various viscosity reducers such as solvents and supercritical fluids. The work involves two main experimental approaches. First, a bespoke vibrating-wire viscometer developed in our laboratory is sued for low-shear-rate viscosity measurements at pressures up to 200 MPa and temperatures up to 473 K with simultaneous density measurements. Second, a controlled-stress rheometer fitted with a high-pressure measurement cell is sued to study the rheology of crude oils, crude oil emulsions and their mixtures with carbon dioxide at reservoir conditions.
Thermodynamic properties of liquids under extreme pressures
We specialise in techniques based on sound speed measurements and have had a number of contracts with industry in which we have obtained difficult-to-measure thermodynamic properties of fluids, such as Diesel fuels, under condition of high pressure with such techniques. We are presently expanding our capability with the addition of heat capacity measurements, by means of a new flow calorimeter, and plan to investigate a number of fluid mixtures of special scientific interest. For example, we plan to gather a benchmark data set on a binary mixture that exhibits type-II phase behaviour and we are also interested in liquid crystal systems. We now have the capability to study these systems over more than 8 decades in pressure, extending from vapour-pressure measurements as low as 1 Pa (10 μbar) to sound-speed and viscosity measurements as high as 400 MPa (4 kbar).
