Reservoir Physics
The Reservoir Physics research group focuses on multiphase flow in subsurface porous media, with applications in geological carbon storage (CCS), underground hydrogen storage (UHS), and oil and gas production. Our research aims to improve the understanding of fluid-rock behavior in complex geological formations to support the development of sustainable and efficient subsurface energy systems.
About the research group
Our current work centers on experimental studies, numerical modeling, and simulation of flow processes relevant to energy transition technologies. We collaborate closely with national and international partners and integrate Master’s and PhD students into active research projects. Through this, we contribute to both scientific advancement and the education of the next generation of reservoir engineers and researchers.
Master’s Thesis Opportunities
We offer Master’s thesis projects primarily focused on geological carbon storage (CCS), gas hydrates, and underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Projects can be experimental, modeling-based, or simulation-driven, depending on the student's interests and background.
Each Master’s project is embedded within an ongoing research initiative, ensuring that students contribute to real-world challenges and cutting-edge developments in the field.
