Research and Technology Development at COIFPM

To provide its unique array of services, Piri Technologies leverages its highly customized experimental platforms located at the Center of Innovation for Flow through Porous Media (COIFPM).

The world is in need of an organization that is dedicated to finding new ways to harvest natural resources, in particular resources that were previously inaccessible. The Center of Innovation for Flow Through Porous Media (COIFPM) at the University of Wyoming is the world leader in research, development, and practical implementation of novel breakthrough technologies for extraction of oil and gas and geo-storage of greenhouse gases under conditions that were unimaginable only a short time ago. As the world’s premier facility of its kind, COIFPM is focused on producing cutting-edge results and discoveries that can transform the energy and environment industries and change the world for the better.

This is, to the best of our knowledge, the world’s largest experimental and computational research center focused on flow through porous media problems with applications primarily in oil and gas recovery, carbon utilization and storage, and hydrogen storage. It is developed using more than $100 million investment. The facility provides imaging and flow capabilities at atomic, nano, micro, and macro scales. Furthermore, it establishes a massive capacity for users to conduct numerous studies in parallel.
