Projects

BladeStim

Python Qt

BladeStim, developed for Blade Energy Partners, is a multi-modular platform for performing a wide range of data analyses and calculations (e.g., step-rate analyses and unified fracture design) related to completion and stimulation of hydraulically fractured oil and gas wells. It provides a streamlined workflow to import, clean, and process raw field data into the software, for visualization, analysis, and export.

Wyoming Class VI Site Characterization Database

Python ArcGIS

The Wyoming Class VI Site Characterization Database Project is a collaboration between the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming State Geological Survey, and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, which serves as the primary enforcement authority for EPA's Class VI program in the State. The project is focused on developing a geologic site characterization database of geotechnical information that has been compiled and verified from established, public databases/entities and scientific literature to expedite Class VI permitting in Sweetwater County within the Greater Green River Basin of southern Wyoming.


Carbonex (coming soon)

Python Machine learning Geochemical modeling

Carbonex is a web-based platform for high accuracy estimation of CO2 solubility in multi-salt brines at a wide range of pressures, temperatures, and salinities. Carbonex relies on a physics-informed neural network that was trained on simulation data and fine-tuned on experimental data while enforcing physics through a modified loss function.
