Uzoma’s research advances carbon capture and geological storage through subsurface modeling, multiphase flow analysis, and simulation-driven engineering for secure, long-term CO₂ sequestration.
Numerical Simulations of Geological Carbon Storage
Numerical Simulations of Geological Carbon Storage involve using mathematical and computational models to predict how captured CO₂ behaves when injected into underground rock formations. These simulations analyze fluid flow, pressure changes, heat transfer, and chemical reactions between CO₂, rock, and formation fluids.
Quantifying Wellbore Effects During CO2 Sequestration in a Saline Aquifer
Quantifying Wellbore Effects During CO₂ Sequestration in a Saline Aquifer involves evaluating how injection wells influence pressure distribution, fluid flow, and potential leakage pathways during carbon storage. It focuses on assessing changes in temperature, stress, cement integrity, and casing performance caused by CO₂ injection.
Development of an Environmentally Friendly Oil-Based Mud
Development of an Environmentally Friendly Oil-Based Mud focuses on formulating drilling fluids that maintain the performance benefits of conventional oil-based mud (OBM) while reducing environmental impact. This involves using biodegradable base oils, low-toxicity additives, and improved emulsifiers to minimize contamination of soil and water.
