QCCSRC: Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Data

A 10-year, $70 million research collaboration between Imperial College London, Qatar Petroleum, Shell, and Qatar Foundation. The Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre (QCCSRC) involved more than 80 academic staff, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students. Its expertise spans geological field studies, experimental laboratory work, and multi-scale modelling and simulations.

Use Cases

• Model carbon storage reservoir performance based on geological field studies.
• Validate pore-scale simulations using experimental laboratory data.
• Analyze carbonate rock properties for enhanced oil recovery applications.
• Train models for predicting fluid flow in subsurface carbon storage sites.

Strengths

• Results from a $70 million strategic research collaboration.
• Involvement of more than 80 academic staff, researchers, and students.
• Research spans multiple scales from molecular to field studies.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
