Description

The hydrogen static reactors are used to understand how hydrogen (H₂), brine, and rock interact, particularly in the context of underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in geological reservoirs.  The reactor is essential for understanding geochemical changes in underground hydrogen storage. It helps evaluate mineral stability, fluid interactions, cap rock integrity, and microbial activity, ensuring safe and long-term containment of hydrogen in geological formations. The same reactor can also be utilized to examine wellbore integrity in H₂ storage environments by evaluating the chemical interactions between hydrogen, brine, and cement. This includes analyzing how H₂ and brine exposure influence cement structure and composition while assessing the effectiveness of chemical additives in minimizing these impacts.
