Abstract
GeoResourceCloud is an agentic and data-driven platform for multiscale and multiphysics modeling of future subsurface energy systems. The platform integrates flow-geomechanical upscaling, coupled THMC simulation, uncertainty quantification, optimization, and AI agents to support decision-making under geological uncertainty. Using geological CO₂ storage as an example, GeoResourceCloud can couple reservoir–geomechanics models with reinforcement learning to optimize injection strategies while controlling pressure buildup, assessing caprock integrity, and reducing leakage or geomechanical risks. AI agents further automate workflow execution, model interpretation, tool calling, and real-time decision support through natural-language interaction. By combining physics-based simulation, machine learning, and reliable AI agents, GeoResourceCloud aims to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of subsurface energy development.

Bo ZHANG
Assistant Professor University of Alberta

Dr. Zhang is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta. Dr. Zhang is the founder and principal investigator (PI) for GeoResourceCloud Research Group at University of Alberta with over 20 researchers. Since the start of the tenure-track position at UAlberta, Dr. Zhang has been awarded over 4.5 million Canadian dollar research grants. His research interests encompass: 1) experimental and numerical investigation of thermal-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) response from pore to field scale; 2) multiscale modelling and simulation of GeoSystems; 3) data-driven decision-makings in in-situ recovery/open-pit mining of oil sands, CO2 storage and geothermal system; (4) AI agent development for GeoSystems
