CARBFRAC | Joris Remmers

The goal of CarbFrac is to develop models to predict the mechanic and flow behavior of carbonate (chalk) hydrocarbon and geothermal systems, honoring their complex geologic structure. This results in better production strategies, opening of new exploration opportunities and decreasing risk during production. CarbFrac builds on the cooperation and knowledge developed in the 2F2S program and adopts a multidisciplinary approach integrating the analysis of outcropping analogs, numerical modeling, and mechanic experiments.
