Computational Safety and Risk Modeling in Offshore Carbon Storage and Commingled Production Systems
My research focuses on developing computational frameworks for safety and risk assessment in two critical areas of the evolving energy sector: offshore carbon storage and offshore commingled production operations. In carbon storage applications, my work investigates the subsurface processes that influence long-term storage integrity, potential leakage pathways, and uncertainties associated with carbon sequestration. The goal is to improve the prediction, assessment, and management of risks to support the safe and reliable deployment of carbon storage projects.
In offshore commingled production systems, my research examines the thermodynamic interactions between fluid phase behavior, pressure depletion, and production dynamics that can lead to gas breakout, thermodynamic instability, and operational safety challenges. A major focus is the development of physics-informed models to identify thermodynamic runaway-sensitive conditions, forecast evolving risk states, and evaluate proactive intervention strategies before adverse events occur.
By integrating computational modeling, predictive analytics, and risk assessment, my work aims to develop decision-support tools that enhance operational safety, improve system reliability, and enable risk-informed management of offshore carbon storage and commingled production systems.
