Digital Rock physics aims to explores high-resolution imaging of heterogeneous porous media and combines it with pore-scale rock-typing, physical property calculations and experiments. 

NMR characterisation aims to analyse saturate porous media by combining strong experimental capabilities with numerical simulation. 

Geosequestration research aims to enhance the feasibility of CO2 Geosequestration in heterogeneous and low-pressure formations to maximize CO2 storage. 

An integrated approach addresses sophisticated geomechanical problems using theoretical, experimental and numerical developments from the micrometer to field length scales. 

High-resolution imaging combined with image analysis and physical property simulations provides a digital laboratory for sample characterization. 

Next generation reservoir engineering includes micrometre to field scale characterisation and modelling of flow in fractured porous reservoirs.  

Digital rock technologies for coal seam gas engineering and monitoring is world leading. Our experts work closely with industry on 3D imaging of coal samples, characterisation and prediction of physical properties. 

Mineral separation and interfacial phenomena research aims to minimise losses of high value minerals and generate values by reprocessing mine tailings. 

Understanding the physical processes of adsorption- desorption in multi-component systems is critical for natural gas recovery. We aim to integrate the physical measurements with molecular dynamic simulation techniques to provide a deeper understanding of the physical processes related to natural gas recovery.
