SapphireLab® Storage

High-Pressure, High-Temperature Testing: Accurately replicates relevant reservoir and storage conditions to study long-term CO₂ and subsurface fluid behaviour. Direct Pore-Scale Visualization: Provides real-time, high-resolution imaging of trapping, retention, migration, and multiphase flow mechanisms. Quantitative, Reproducible Data: Delivers robust datasets for model validation, simulation refinement, and decision-making. Compact & Versatile System: A single platform adaptable for carbon storage, geothermal, hydrogen, and oil & gas research. High Precision & Reliability: Advanced sensors, pumps, and imaging tools ensure accuracy, repeatability, and confidence in results. Efficiency & Speed: Rapid turnaround compared to conventional coreflood or slim-tube testing, with reduced material and sample requirements.

Carbon Storage Research: Evaluate CO₂ trapping, retention, dissolution, and mineralization processes; study of relevant long-term fluid interactions. Subsurface Fluid Dynamics: Visualize single- and multiphase flows, wettability shifts, capillary trapping, and competitive displacement mechanisms under true reservoir conditions. Hydrogen and Emerging Storage Studies: Adaptable to study hydrogen mobility, leakage risks, and storage integrity in geological formations. Reservoir Modeling Support: Generate pore-scale experimental data to refine simulation models, improve risk assessment, and validate predictive tools for large-scale storage projects.
