Induced seismicity associated with gas production poses major operational and societal challenges, as illustrated by the Groningen field in the Netherlands. While many studies have focused on forecasting seismicity under prescribed…

Deep Geothermal Energy, Carbon Capture, and Storage and Hydrogen Storage have significant potential to meet the large-scale needs of the energy sector and reduce the CO$_2$ emissions. However, the injection of fluids into the earth's crust,…

This paper presents a safe output regulation control strategy for a class of systems modeled by a coupled $2\times 2$ hyperbolic PDE-ODE structure, subject to fully distributed disturbances throughout the system. A state-feedback controller…

Motivated by engineering applications of subsea installation by deepwater construction vessels in oil drilling, and of aid delivery by unmanned aerial vehicles in disaster relief, we develop output-feedback boundary control of…

In under-balanced drilling, the bottom-hole pressure is kept below pore pressure, causing pressure dependent influx of reservoir gas into the wellbore that makes the system unstable at low drawdowns. In this paper we propose a feedback…

Deep Geothermal Energy, Carbon Capture and Storage, and Hydrogen Storage hold considerable promise for meeting the energy sector's large-scale requirements and reducing CO$_2$ emissions. However, the injection of fluids into the Earth's…

This paper addresses the management of water flow in a rectangular open channel, considering the dynamic nature of both the channel's bathymetry and the suspended sediment particles caused by entrainment and deposition effects. The…

In this paper, we consider the problem of regulating the outlet pressure of gas flowing through a pipeline subject to uncertain and variable outlet flow. Gas flow through a pipe is modeled using the coupled isothermal Euler equations, with…

A deep-sea construction vessel is used to install underwater parts of an off-shore oil drilling platform at the designated locations on the seafloor. By using extended Hamilton's principle, a nonlinear PDE system governing the…

This paper presents a safe delay-adaptive control for a strict-feedback nonlinear ODE with a delayed actuator, whose dynamic is also a strict-feedback nonlinear ODE and the delay length is unknown. By formulating the delay as a transport…

4D seismic imaging has been widely used in CO$_2$ sequestration projects to monitor the fluid flow in the volumetric subsurface region that is not sampled by wells. Ideally, real-time monitoring and near-future forecasting would provide…

This paper addresses the possibility of using robust control theory for preventing earthquakes through fluid injections in the earth's crust. The designed robust controllers drive aseismically a fault system to a new equilibrium point of…

This work is motivated by the engineering challenge of suppressing vibrations in turbine blades of aero engines, which often operate under extreme thermal conditions and high-Mach aerodynamic environments that give rise to complex vibration…

This paper presents a delay-adaptive boundary control scheme for a $2\times 2$ coupled linear hyperbolic PDE-ODE cascade system with an unknown and arbitrarily long input delay. To construct a nominal delay-compensated control law, assuming…

This paper addresses the design of robust dynamic output feedback control for highly uncertain systems in which the unknown disturbance might be excited by the derivative of the control input. This context appears in many industrial…

Underground gas storage (UGS) is a critical technology for managing seasonal gas consumption peaks, increasingly important in the face of market uncertainties. However, safety concerns arise when reactivating pre-existing faults in faulted…

We present an adaptive event-triggered boundary control scheme for a parabolic PDE-ODE system, where the reaction coefficient of the parabolic PDE, and the system parameter of a scalar ODE, are unknown. In the proposed controller, the…

We construct two error feedback controllers for robust output tracking and disturbance rejection of a regular linear system with nonsmooth reference and disturbance signals. We show that for sufficiently smooth signals the output converges…

Injecting greenhouse gas into deep underground reservoirs for permanent storage can inadvertently lead to fault reactivation, caprock fracturing and greenhouse gas leakage when the injection-induced stress exceeds the critical threshold.…

This paper deals with the backstepping design of observer-based compensators for parabolic ODE-PDE-ODE systems. The latter consist of n coupled parabolic PDEs with distinct diffusion coefficients and spatially-varying coefficients, that are…
