Lithium Production Modelling Using CMG GEM

In this Tech Bite video, led by Ali Shariat, we explore lithium production modelling using CMG’s GEM simulator, highlighting its ability to capture the complex, coupled physics governing lithium extraction processes.

As demand for lithium continues to grow, driven by its critical role in batteries and the global energy transition, accurate modelling of subsurface systems becomes increasingly important. From fluid flow in porous media and thermodynamics to heat transfer, geomechanics, and geochemical reactions, understanding these interactions is key to optimizing recovery and ensuring sustainable production.

This study demonstrates how GEM integrates these physical processes into a single framework, enabling more reliable predictions and better-informed decisions for lithium resource development.
