The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

X-ray imaging and magnetic resonance approach for enhanced oil recovery. This project aims to develop an efficient multi-scale modelling capability to quantify the effect of two-phase fluid flow within porous material by modelling rock wettability heterogeneity and alteration on two-phase flow performance for heterogeneous rock. Super-resolution methods combined with a deep learning approach will be used to determine a digital representation of reservoir rock, achieving an unprecedented combinat ....X-ray imaging and magnetic resonance approach for enhanced oil recovery. This project aims to develop an efficient multi-scale modelling capability to quantify the effect of two-phase fluid flow within porous material by modelling rock wettability heterogeneity and alteration on two-phase flow performance for heterogeneous rock. Super-resolution methods combined with a deep learning approach will be used to determine a digital representation of reservoir rock, achieving an unprecedented combination of resolution necessary to resolve small-scale fluid connectivity and field of view required to capture heterogeneity. The project expects to develop a workflow to populate a high-resolution model with wettability parameters by combining micro-CT imaging with nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. This improved understanding should provide significant benefits by enhancing our capability to optimise enhanced oil and gas recovery programs.Read moreRead less
A spatio-temporal partitioning approach to colloidal flows in porous media. This project aims to develop an efficient multi-scale laboratory-based modelling framework for colloidal suspensions flow in porous media by utilizing recent advances in 3D/4D image-based geometrical/topological analysis. Regional partitioning techniques based on local structural measures are used to observe the penetration/retention of colloids into identified zones. Zone-dependent colloid interaction probabilities for ....A spatio-temporal partitioning approach to colloidal flows in porous media. This project aims to develop an efficient multi-scale laboratory-based modelling framework for colloidal suspensions flow in porous media by utilizing recent advances in 3D/4D image-based geometrical/topological analysis. Regional partitioning techniques based on local structural measures are used to observe the penetration/retention of colloids into identified zones. Zone-dependent colloid interaction probabilities for computational modelling are derived from fundamental relationships. Expected outcomes of this project include a full-scale modelling capability for heterogeneous samples validated by experiment and the extraction of robust model coefficients for newly developed theory for colloid-suspension transport through porous media.Read moreRead less
