Research & Applied Case Studies
Systems-level walkthroughs of real subsurface engineering problems — the data, the trade-offs, and the decisions. Each case study shows how the fundamentals apply when real constraints are on the table.
Well Integrity in CO₂ Storage Wells
An applied look at how well integrity principles apply specifically to carbon capture and storage operations — covering barrier design, monitoring, and long-term containment assurance under regulatory scrutiny.
Case Study Library
New case studies are added regularly. Placeholder cards below are ready to be swapped with your next project — just edit the image, label, title, and description.
Geothermal Feasibility Analysis
A systems-level walkthrough of evaluating a site for geothermal energy potential — from geological conditions to cost-benefit analysis over a 10-year horizon.
Hydraulic Fracturing Design Trade-offs
Comparing fracture geometry, proppant selection, and conductivity outcomes across real well design scenarios.
Production Optimization Under Constraint
Placeholder — replace with your next case study. A nodal analysis walkthrough balancing drawdown limits, artificial lift options, and facility constraints.
Site Screening for CO₂ Storage
Placeholder — replace with your next case study. Ranking candidate formations on capacity, injectivity, and containment risk using public datasets.
Stuck Pipe Prediction with Field Data
Placeholder — replace with your next case study. Applying data-driven models to real drilling parameters to flag stuck-pipe risk before it happens.
Repurposing Wells for Geothermal Heat
Placeholder — replace with your next case study. Assessing end-of-life petroleum wells as candidates for closed-loop geothermal retrofits.

Real Data & Constraints
Each case study works from realistic field conditions — not idealized textbook setups.
The Trade-offs, Explicitly
Every engineering decision has a cost. Case studies show what was weighed and why.
Transferable Frameworks
The goal is a decision framework you can carry to your own projects — not a one-off story.
