Estimation of CO2 storage capacity coefficients in geologic formations

Geologic Storage of CO2

Dynamic imaging provides an effective way to integrate previous time-lapse data with current data in order to estimate a current model. We present two methods useful for continuous dynamic reservoir and subsurface monitoring. The first method is a stochastic method for the inversion of geophysical data. It uses the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) that we demonstrate using time-lapse surface seism...

Geologic Storage of CO2

Characterization for Storage of CO2 in Deep Geological Formations

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is the lead Federal agency for the development and deployment of carbon sequestration technologies. As part of its mission to facilitate technology transfer and develop guidelines from lessons learned, DOE is developing a series of best practice manuals (BPMs) for carbon capture and storage (CCS). The ―Site Screening, Site Selection, and Initial Characterizat...

Carbon Dioxide Capture for Storage in Deep Geologic Formations, Volume 3 Introduction

 Contribute to establish best practice for site characterization, process optimization, monitoring and verification and risk assessment for geologic storage of CO2.  Increase public acceptance and awareness of CCS.  Expand economic/ infrastructure scenarios for the whole CCS value chain.  Advance the science and expand the potential scope of implementation of CCS technologies through intern...

Integrated collaborative technology development program for CO2 sequestration in geologic formations––United States Department of Energy R&D

A major contributor to increased atmospheric CO2 levels is fossil fuel combustion. Roughly one third of the carbon emissions in the United States comes from power plants. Since electric generation is expected to grow and fossil fuels will continue to be the dominant fuel source, there is growing recognition that the energy industry can be part of the solution to reducing greenhouse gas emission...
