ad-micp: A module to study CO2 leakage remediation by microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP)

Description

MICP is a new and sustainable technology which utilizes biochemical processes to create barriers by calcium carbonate cementation; therefore, this technology has a potential to be used for sealing leakage zones in geological formations. We have implemented a mathematical model for MICP suitable for field-scale studies. Further information on the mathematical model can be found in the two publications [A, B] in the "Cite" part of this README.

The numerical examples accompanying this module are:

  • runMICP1DCase.m and
  • runMICP3DCase.m.

In addition, this module includes scripts to run the studies in [A, B].

The ad-micp module is compatible with the (freely available) MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST) provided by SINTEF Digital, see http://www.sintef.no/projectweb/mrst/.

See the Wiki for an extended description, information regarding changes respect to previous releases, and using this module in macOS with GNU Octave.

Requirements

  • MRST (Tested version: 2023a)
  • MATLAB (Tested version: R2023a) or GNU Octave (Tested version: 8.1.0)

Installation (MATLAB/GNU Octave)

  • Set the folder's name to 'ad-micp'.
  • Move the folder inside the 'modules' folder in MRST.
  • Run the 'startup.m' file in MRST.
