Call for Exhibitors & Sponsors

We are finalizing the detailed prospectus for potential exhibitors and sponsors at InterPore2022 and will be sending it out to our existing industry connections soon. Do you know of a company who should be on our list? Let us know! Perhaps it’s one you regularly work with; maybe it’s one you’d like to work with. We’d love to hear your ideas. Email us with the organization name and contact information.

Conference Grants

We are pleased to announce that the InterPore Foundation for Porous Media Science and Technology (InterPore Foundation) would once again like to offer a number of conference grants to scientists from academic institutions from countries with lower- or middle-income economies, as defined by the World Bank, and to graduate students.

In addition to paying the conference registration fees, the InterPore Foundation will provide up to €500 per recipient to go towards travel costs.

Visit the InterPore2022 website for more information on requirements and the application process.

Invited speaker:

Zuleima T. Karpyn from Pennsylvania State University will present a talk entitled Experimental Investigation of Conditions Favoring Enhanced Gas Storage in Shales.

Zuleima Karpyn is Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Research, and Donohue Family Professor in Energy and Mineral Engineering, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, at the Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Karpyn specializes in multiphase flow and transport in porous media, and digital rock physics.

Shale gas reservoirs are currently viewed as an emergent opportunity to sustain growing energy needs while reducing the carbon intensity of energy systems relative to other fossil fuels. This lecture presents gas invasion experiments which were conducted in conjunction with X-ray microCT imaging on three different shales: Bakken, Haynesville and Marcellus. Results show evidence of enhanced storage capacity in all cases, with different degrees of gas densification across the three shale specimens. Additional characterization of shale composition and pore structure are discussed in order to assess the shale properties favoring enhanced gas storage. The findings in this work lay a foundation to evaluate enhanced storage capacity for various gases in ranging tight formations.
