Biography

The Experimental Characterization of Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids for Underground Energy Storage consists of studying the behavior of gases and liquids such as the compressibility factor, density, formation volume factor and the gas solubility in liquids (reservoir formation water or synthetic brine) at underground reservoir conditions (Pressure, temperature and salinity) to better understand their characteristics during the storage period. In particular, it mainly consists of studying the behavior of hydogen, methane and carbon dioxide and their possibile mixtures for Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS).
