Deliverable objectives. This research aims at contributing to our understanding whether firms improve efficiency and productivity as a reaction to intensified import competition.
Deliverable objectives. The objectives of the Summer Challenges are:
Deliverable objectives. Enhanced oil/gas recovery in shale production largely depends on the understanding of the pore networks and gas flow through these networks and fractures. Advanced Imaging techniques, for example, synchrotron tomographic imaging and focussed ion beam imaging, will push the existing limits. We performed a full traditional characterisation of microstructure in shale samples (Deliverable 3.1), and focus on building on this analysis using multi-scale 3D images of porous phase, pores and potential flow paths in this report. The objectives are to characterise:
Deliverable objectives. D9.12 was to ensure appropriate organization in order to deliver an excellent scientific meeting, NCL2018.
Deliverable objectives. This report seeks to document suggestions and actions we implemented for continuing the scientific operations enabled by the S4CE consortium within and beyond the scopes of Horizon 2020.
Deliverable objectives. We document the distributional consequences of automation across regions and individuals, and we study their political implications. In particular, we investigate whether higher exposure to the robot shock tilts the electorate towards nationalist and radical-right parties.
Deliverable objectives. The main deliverable is a report of the refurbished test-bed (Figure 1) an its performance in obtaining spatial-spectral information from a know source placed in the far-field of the instrument.
Deliverable objectives. The aim of this deliverable is to report on the development of the INTENS project webpage. For this, we will describe the structure of the webpage, as well as the different options that include.
Deliverable objectives. The aim of Deliverable 5.1 is to provide an extensive overview of all the possible approaches for the formulation of hydraulic fracturing fluids which are effective in high salinity conditions. We take into account the geochemical data found in literature for the currently exploited formations in US and Europe, and cross them with the results obtained by WP8 to acquire information about the salt content in the flowback and produced water. Thus, we propose different model formulations which are completely safe in terms of composition and possess optimized physico-chemical properties for the hydrocarbon extraction in high salinity conditions.
Deliverable objectives. Within the scopes of the S4CE consortium, the aims within WP 4 (Leader Imperial College London) have been to provide detailed state-of-the-art geological characterization of rocks including their pore networks, from the different sites at laboratory simulated high pressures and across a wide range of scales from microscopic (sub-micron) to macroscopic field (km) scale. We have characterised fluid-rock interactions through time-dependant geochemistry experiments, which have been interpreted using modelling to inform subsurface geothermal and CCS operations. We have determined rock physical properties through high pressure – temperature (HP-T) experimental studies, including porosity, permeability and gas contents by controlled degassing. The laboratory and field data have been integrated across multiple scales to provide an assessment of geological variability and subsurface fluid mobility.
