Example of a workfrom from MRST-co2lab. The lower-left window shows the potential trapping volume upslope of an injection point, identified by a spill-point analysis. The upper-right window shows the result of a simple vertical-equilibrium, sharp-interface simulation of the injection from the same point.

Modeling geological CO2 storage is characterized by scarce data, large spans in spatial and temporal scales, and delicate balances by different physical flow mechanisms. MRST-co2lab offers a set of open-source simulators and workflow tools that have been specially designed to meet these challenges. The software combines results of more than one decade of academic research and development on CO2 storage modeling into a unified toolchain that is easy and intuitive to use. The software is flexible and efficient and can be used to study realistic injection scenarios, or function as a platform for rapid prototyping of new models and computational methods.
