Sustainable Energy Research Labs

Sustainable Energy Research Labs are used for the experimental understanding of subsurface flow and coupled biogeochemical processes. We also have a broad instrument park for analytical services.

Our infrastructure consists of several different labs used for fluid flow experiments, visualization of fluid flow, understanding of microbiological processes, and chemical analysis.

The laboratories are in Bergen.

Flow

Dedicated flow labs for reservoir condition experiments
Flexible setups
Separate zones for hydrogen experiments
Radial flow models for improved understanding of near-well phenomena

Visualisation

Microfluidics lab-on-a-chip for quantification of time-dependent pore-scale processes
2D x-ray for visualization of frontal instabilities and quantifying the impact of reservoir heterogeneities on fluid flow

Microbiology

Routines for surface and subsurface field sampling
Aerobic and anaerobic cultivation, enrichments, and strain isolation
Flexible setups for growth characterization at atmospheric and elevated pressure
Identification of growth triggers, contamination points, inhibition studies (dose-response)
Growth under dynamic flow

Analysis

Laboratories for chemical analysis including gas and liquid chromatography, total organic carbon, and rheometer for determination of fluid properties
Laboratories for microbiological analysis including cell enumeration, microscopy, and DNA based identification
