Scholar-generated biography
Samintha Perera's research focuses on deep earth energy, coal seam gas, and carbon dioxide sequestration. Their work explores the geochemical and mechanical aspects of CO2 sequestration in deep saline aquifers, the effects of temperature and pressure on rock mechanics, and the role of storage systems in hydrogen economy. Perera investigates the impact of CO2 saturation on coal properties, including matrix swelling and permeability changes, and examines the thermomechanical behavior of reservoir rocks under extreme conditions. Their studies also cover hydraulic fracturing, enhanced oil recovery, and underground hydrogen storage, emphasizing rock-fluid interactions and process integrity.
