Center for Quantitative Imaging
The Penn State GeoFluids Consortium has opportunities to complement ongoing efforts in the following ares:
A) Piezoprobe Tool Development and Analysis wherein we will design, build and analyze results from a pore pressure penetrometer;
B) Deformation Experiments on whole core with focus on low permeability mud-rocks to understand in-situ observations of stress, pressure, permeability, and porosity;
C) Field Programs-Advocating for an experimental drilling program into the shallow sedimentary section at Mars-Ursa and Brazos-Trinity basins in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program;
D) Hydrate Systems Analysis-characterization and modeling of hydrate systems.
