Welcome to the Unconventional Resource Simulation (URS) Group!

The URS  research group is Dr. Olufemi (Femi) Olorode's research lab. It focuses on the multiscale numerical modeling of the coupled physical processes in unconventional resources, such as shale plays, enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), and gas hydrates. Our work involves developing novel technologies for shale EOR and EGS, modeling fractured tight rocks accurately and efficiently, and large-scale studies of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen hydrates.

Here are some images from our work:
