Summary: Cushion gas plays a vital role in maintaining stable hydrogen withdrawal by retaining adequate reservoir pressure in hydrogen geological storage. The presence of cushion gas in the storage reservoir can affect the flow characteristics of hydrogen during injection and production cycles. However, there is a lack of literature data on the interfacial tension (IFT) between cushion gas mixed with hydrogen and brine at geo-storage conditions. This study measured the IFT of (brine + H-2 + CO2) system using the pendant drop method, and found that IFT reduced with increasing CO2 percentage, declining pressure, and increasing temperature, while linearly increasing with brine salinity. These findings provide new insights for large-scale hydrogen geological storage projects.

Summary: An investigated CO2 oligomer viscosifier with twenty repeat units of 1-decene shows positive effects on flow control and sweep efficiency improvement in drainage. The viscosifier significantly increases the viscosity of supercritical CO2 and delays its breakthrough time. Additionally, it decreases the residual brine saturation and increases the residual trapping, leading to improved storage capacity and efficiency.

Summary: The solid/CO2 interfacial tension in caprocks is highly dependent on total organic carbon (TOC) percentage, pressure, and quartz content. A higher percentage of TOC and quartz increases the hydrophobic sites available in the sample, allowing stronger affinity towards CO2. Lower interfacial tension implies a stronger affinity of CO2 towards caprock surface, increasing the chance of CO2 entering through caprocks and causing leakage.

Summary: This study demonstrates the significant potential of capillary heterogeneity trapping in immobilizing CO2 in geologic storage. The macroscopic percolation simulator is used to understand how post-imbibition CO2 capillary heterogeneity trapping varies with mesoscale heterogeneity, showing that the contribution of CO2 heterogeneity trapping increases with the degree of heterogeneity. Additionally, the study highlights that the spatial structure of heterogeneity plays a role in the CO2 residual trapping ability of a domain.

Summary: Hydrogen, as a clean fuel source, has attracted attention for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and meeting global energy demand. However, its high volatility and compressibility pose challenges for storage. Surface-based storage facilities and underground geo-storage are used to address these challenges. The interaction between hydrogen and resident formation fluids, such as water, greatly affects its flow pattern and storage capacity. This study measured the interfacial tension between hydrogen and brine under various storage conditions and developed an empirical equation to predict it. The results provide fundamental data for H-2 geo-storage projects and contribute to the implementation of a large-scale hydrogen economy.

Summary: This study critically reviewed previous literature on CO2/brine interfacial tension and wettability of rock/CO2/brine systems. Laboratory experiments conducted on shale cores from Malaysian formation showed that the wettability of rock surfaces and CO2/brine interfacial tension changed with increasing temperature, pressure, and salinity. Such changes will greatly impact hydrocarbon recovery and CO2 containment security in Malaysian unconventional shale formations.

Summary: Rock wettability is a key factor in the storage of hydrogen, affecting its capacity and safety. The study found that under realistic storage conditions, the surface of bituminous coal exhibited weak water-wettability. The pressure of hydrogen increased the contact angles of brine on the coal surface at 25 degrees C but had no impact at higher temperatures. A thermodynamic model was proposed to describe the observed behavior, supporting the development of large-scale geostorage technologies for hydrogen.

Summary: Oil production faces challenges such as limited production from carbonate reservoirs, high costs, and environmental issues. Chemical flooding as an enhanced oil recovery method can increase production by adding surfactants. However, synthetic surfactants are costly and harmful. Researchers have turned to natural surfactants and the use of nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery. This study extracted a natural surfactant from Cyclamen persicum and optimized its performance with a zinc oxide/montmorillonite nanocomposite. Experimental results showed improved oil recovery with the synergistic usage of the natural surfactant and nanoparticles.

Summary: Nanomaterials, specifically silica-graphene quantum dots (Si-GQDs), have been synthesized and dispersed in water to form nanofluids. These nanofluids exhibit significant reduction in interfacial tension and wettability alteration, leading to enhanced oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. The experimental results show that the nanofluids formulated with 1000 ppm Si-GQDs in distilled water enable an additional 14.4% oil recovery due to the reduction in interfacial tension and contact angle.

Summary: This study aims to develop a rapid and simple approach to determine the permeability of liquid (brine or oil) in tight siltstones/shales. The proposed method combines one-dimensional vacuum imbibition experiments and a modified Lucas-Washburn model. The results show that the liquid permeability (98-608 nD) of the analyzed samples from the Montney and Yanchang formations can be determined within 44-116 hours, and the obtained brine permeability is 28.3-28.5% lower than the slip-corrected nitrogen permeability derived from pulse-decay tests. This study provides a promising technique for fast characterization of the ultratight formation permeability of around 100 nD.

Summary: Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) and CO2 geological storage (CGS) are essential for meeting energy demand and reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs). The calcite-fluid interfacial tension (Ycalcite-fluid) is crucial for gas storage in carbonate formations, but there is a lack of Ycalcite-fluid data in the literature. We theoretically calculated Ycalcite-fluid for calcite/H2/water and calcite/CO2/water systems, considering geological parameters like temperature, pressure, organic acid concentration, and salinity. The results showed that Ycalcite-gas decreased with pressure, salinity, and organic acid concentration but increased with temperature. Ycalcite-water slightly increased with organic acid concentration and salinity. Furthermore, Ycalcite-fluid values were higher for the H2/brine system compared to the CO2/brine system. This study provides a better understanding of wetting characteristics and enables further research on H2/CO2 storage in carbonate formations.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
