GEOS is an open-source, multiphysics simulation framework for subsurface energy systems. Originally developed to advance the state of the art in carbon storage simulation, GEOS has grown into a general-purpose platform for modeling coupled flow, transport, thermal, and geomechanical processes across a range of subsurface applications.

Contributors

GEOS is developed cooperatively by contributors at multiple institutions.

Funding

GEOS is developed by numerous contributors across many organizations, and it is difficult to maintain an up-to-date accounting of all sources of support. Authors are asked to cite the appropriate sources in the acknowledgements section of any reports or publications related to GEOS.

That said, very significant support for GEOS development has been provided by:

  • U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Exascale Computing Project
  • U.S. Department of Energy, Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office
  • TotalEnergies
  • Chevron
  • Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
  • Stanford University

All support, both financial and in-kind, is gratefully acknowledged.
