Polymer-cement experiments were conducted in order to assess the chemical and thermal properties of various polymer-cement composites. This file set includes the following polymer-cement analyses: Polymer-Cement Composite Synthesis Polymer-Cement Interactions by Atomistic Simulat...

Paper title "Loss circulation prevention in geothermal drilling by shape memory polymer". The paper was published in Geothermics 89 (2021) 101943.

Paper title "Experimental study on rheological and settling properties of shape memory polymer for fracture sealing in geothermal formations". The paper was published in the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering 208 (2022) 109535.

Batch tests of lithium imprinted polymers of variable composition to assess their ability to extract lithium from synthetic brines at T = 45 degC. Initial selectivity data are included

We synthesized PEGDA polymer hydrogel beads for cell embedding and compared REE biosorption with these beads via a gravity-driven flow through setup. One way to set up a flow through system is by cell encapsulation into polymer beads with a column setup similar to that used in th...

Batch tests of manganese imprinted polymers of variable composition to assess their ability to extract lithium and manganese from synthetic brines at T = 45 deg C . Data on manganese uptake for two consecutive cycles are included.

Paper title "Evaluating sealability of blended smart polymer and fiber additive for geothermal drilling with the effect of fracture opening size". The paper was published in the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering 206 (2021) 108998.

SMP preparation The SMP was synthesized out of a readily available commercial epoxy resin (EPON 826, a bisphenol-based resin) cured by an isophorone diamine (IPD) crosslinker. Each 100g EPON 826 was bonded with 23.2 g IPD to balance out the stoichiometry. SMP Programing The fre...

Batch tests of cross-linked lithium and manganese imprinted polymers of variable composition to assess their ability to extract lithium and manganese from synthetic brines at T=45 deg C .

CO2 breakthrough experiments in a column packed with sand and filled with StimuFrac fluid or water to learn about transport of the stimuli (CO2) on environments where either water or the stimuli-responsive polymer aqueous solution (StimuFrac) is present. Results suggest co-injecti...

Paper title "Evaluate the Sealing Efficiency of Lost Circulation Material on a Large Scale for High-Temperature Drilling Applications". The paper was prepared for presentation at the 2022 AADE Fluids Technical Conference and Exhibition held at the Marriott Marquis, Houston, Texas,...

Paper title "Modelling of cohesive expandable LCMs for fractures with large apertures". The paper was published in Geothermics 104 (2022) 102466.

Lab-scale stimulation was performed on Coso samples obtained from a single core (1623 feet TVD, reservoir Coso CGC 18-27) using StimuFrac and control fluid in the absence of stimuli-responsive polymer.

Paper title "Experimental Investigation of a Smart LCM Using a High-Temperature Flow Loop for Geothermal Drilling". The paper was published in GRC Transactions, Vol. 45, 2021.

Rheology Screening for Mud Additives The rheology screening experiments aimed to evaluate the performance of different additives to be used as viscosifier for the base fluid. Different fluid formulations were prepared in the lab by adding the additives individually to tap water in...

EGS field projects have not sustained production at rates greater than 1/2 of what is needed for economic viability. The primary limitation that makes commercial EGS infeasible is our current inability to cost-effectively create high-permeability reservoirs from impermeable, igneo...
