Carl Jacquemyn

Dr. Carl Jacquemyn is an Advanced Research Fellow in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College London, affiliated with the NORMS group and Petroleum Geoscience & Engineering. His work focuses on grid-free surface-based reservoir modelling, geothermal systems, and subsurface flow dynamics. He holds a PhD from KU Leuven (2013) and an MSc in Mining & Geotechnical Engineering from the same institution (2007).

Research interests include quantifying geological heterogeneity, carbonate sedimentology/diagenesis, and integrating 3D outcrop models with reservoir simulations. His Sketch-Based Reservoir Modelling (RRM) tool enables rapid prototyping of geological scenarios for flow diagnostics. Current projects explore geothermal well design, Arab-D Formation storm scours, and CO2 storage mechanisms.

Key contributions include developing dynamically adaptive mesh optimisation for geothermal reservoirs and advancing surface-based methodologies to preserve complex geological features in simulations. His work addresses challenges in grid limitations, well trajectory representation, and multi-scale heterogeneity impact assessment.
