Scales
From pore-level deformation to field-scale simulation, our research covers a wide range of geomechanical phenomena.
MISSION
To advance scientific knowledge in geomechanics and underground storage for a sustainable energy future.
VISION
To be a national and international reference in the optimization of underground reservoir management and low-carbon technologies.
PLANS
• Support energy transition strategies
• Develop geomechanical modeling tools
• Train professionals and students in innovative solutions
FEATURED PROJECTS
Our research chair develops projects that address the key scientific and technological challenges in underground storage and reservoir geomechanics. These include the modeling and monitoring of salt caverns, CCUS/CCS reservoirs, and Pre-Salt fields, as well as experimental studies on CO₂-rock interactions and numerical simulations for reservoir optimization.
Projects are carried out in collaboration with major companies like Petrobras, Braskem, and Repsol Sinopec, and are co-financed by institutions such as EMBRAPII.
