    Rigorous Explainable Artificial Intelligence Models for Predicting CO2-Brine Interfacial Tension: Implications for CO2 Sequestration in Saline Aquifers
    (American Chemical Society, 2025) Nait Amar, Menad; Youcefi, Mohamed Riad; Alqahtani, Fahd Mohamad; Djema, Hakim; Ghasemi, Mohammad
    Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is an attractive approach for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, with saline aquifers offering promising sites for long-term sequestration. Interfacial tension (IFT) between CO2 and brine plays a crucial role in the trapping efficiency. This study develops explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) models to accurately predict the IFT in CO2–brine systems. Three advanced machine learning models, namely, Super Learner (SL), Elman Neural Network (ENN), and Power Law Ensemble Model, were implemented based on a data set comprising 2616 measurements. Among the established paradigms, SL achieved the highest accuracy (RMSE = 0.7813 and R2 = 0.9953) across diverse conditions. To enhance model transparency, Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations and SHAP (SHapley Additive Explanations) interpretability techniques were employed, confirming strong alignment with experimental trends. Comparative analysis further demonstrated that the SL scheme surpasses existing literature models. Overall, this study highlights the effectiveness of XAI-based predictive modeling for accurately estimating the CO2–brine IFT under diverse operational conditions. Future implementation in real CCS projects can offer valuable insights into injection strategies, trapping mechanisms, and long-term formation stability

    Predicting Methane Hydrate Formation Temperature in the Presence of Diverse Brines Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence
    (American Chemical Society, 2025) Nait Amar, Menad; Zeraibi, Noureddine; Alqahtani, Fahd Mohamad; Djema, Hakim; Benamara, Chahrazed; Saifi, Redha; Gareche, Mourad; Ghasemi, Mohammad; Merzoug, Ahmed
    Thisstudy presents three advanced techniques, includingthe leastsquares support vector machine (LSSVM), categorical boosting (CatBoost),and cascaded forward neural network (CFNN), to model methane hydrateformation temperature (MHFT) across various brines under a wide pressurerange. Utilizing a comprehensive data set of nearly 1000 samples,the models underwent rigorous training and testing phases. Graphicalanalyses and statistical assessment confirmed the high accuracy ofthe implemented models, with the CFNN scheme outperforming the others,achieving a total root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.3569 and an R2 of 0.9977. Comparison with existing modelsfurther highlighted the CFNN model’s superior performance.Additionally, the Shapley Additive exPlanning (SHAP) method was employedto enhance the aspects related to predictions’ explainabilityby assessing the impact of different inputs on the outcomes. Lastly,the proposed model holds significant potential for advancing industrialand academic applications related to hydrate phenomena

    Predicting the viscosity of hydrogen – methane blends at high pressure for hydrogen transportation and geo-storage: Integration of robust white-box machine learning frameworks
    (Elsevier, 2025) Alatefi, Saad; Youcefi, Mohamed Riad; Amar, Menad Nait; Djema, Hakim
    The integration of hydrogen into underground storage systems is pivotal for large-scale energy management, often involving blends with methane to leverage existing infrastructure. Accurate viscosity prediction of hydrogen – methane blends under subsurface conditions is essential for optimizing flow assurance and operational safety. Accordingly, this study employs three data-driven models, namely Genetic Expression Programming (GEP), Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), and Multi-Gene Genetic Programming (MGGP), to predict the viscosity of hydrogen – methane mixtures for transportation and underground storage applications. A comprehensive dataset of 313 experimentally measured values from the literature were utilized to develop and validate the established correlations. The MGGP paradigm emerged as the top performer, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.4054 and an R2 value of 0.9940, outperforming both GEP and GMDH, as well as prior predictive models. The consistency of the dataset was confirmed using the Leverage approach, ensuring robust predictions. In addition, the Shapley Additive Explanations technique revealed key factors influencing the viscosity predictions, enhancing the interpretability of the best-performing correlation. Furthermore, comparative trend analysis demonstrated the MGGP correlation's superior accuracy and robustness across varying blend compositions and operational conditions. These findings offer a reliable and simple-to-use predictive correlation for engineers and researchers designing hydrogen transport and storage systems, supporting efficient energy storage and the transition to a low-carbon economy

    Toward robust models for predicting carbon dioxide absorption by nanofluids
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Nait Amar, Menad; Djema, Hakim; Belhaouari, Samir Brahim; Zeraibi, Noureddine; https://doi.org/10.1002/ghg.2166
    The application of nanofluids has received increased attention across a number of disciplines in recent years. Carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption by using nanofluids as the solvents for the capture of CO2 is among the attractive applications, which have recently gained high popularity in various industrial aspects. In this work, two robust explicit-based machine learning (ML) methods, namely group method of data handling (GMDH) and genetic programming (GP) were implemented for establishing accurate correlations that can estimate the absorption of CO2 by nanofluids. The correlations were developed using a comprehensive database that involved 230 experimental measurements. The obtained results revealed that the proposed ML-based correlations can predict the absorption of CO2 by nanofluids with high accuracy. Besides, it was found that the GP-based correlation yielded more precise predictions compared to the GMDH-based correlation. The GP-based correlation has an overall coefficient of determination of 0.9914 and an overall average absolute relative deviation of 3.732%. Lastly, the carried-out trend analysis confirmed the compatibility of the proposed GP-based correlation with the real physical tendency of CO2 absorption by nanofluids
