CO2 EOR and Storage in Oil Reservoirs
CO2 EOR and Storage in Oil Reservoirs — CO2 injection into tertiary oil reservoirs has been widely accepted as an effective technique for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and has been used by the oil industry for over 40 years. Concerns over greenhouse gas emissions are leading to the investigation and realisation of its potential as a carbon storage method in recent years. With the right reservoir...
متن کاملSome Geomechanical Aspects of Geological CO2 Sequestration
Reservoir depletion and subsequent CO2 injection into the depleted geological reservoir induce stress changes that may mechanically damage top seal and wells, or trigger existing faults, creating the leakage pathways for CO2 escape from the reservoir. The role of geomechanics is to assess the mechanical impact of stress changes on seals, wells and faults. Since many hydrocarbon fields are geome...
متن کاملReflection Imaging of Egs Reservoirs Using Microseismicity as a Source
The authors have been developing a new variation of passive reflection technique, where microseismic multiplets are used as a source (multiplet reflection imaging using microseismicity: multiplet RIM). Closely similar waveform and precisely determined hypocenter of the multiplet can be effectively used to image structures inside/around the seismically activated EGS reservoirs. In the multiplet ...
متن کاملComparison of geomechanical deformation induced by megatonne-scale CO2 storage at Sleipner, Weyburn, and In Salah.
Geological storage of CO2 that has been captured at large, point source emitters represents a key potential method for reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, this technology will only be viable if it can be guaranteed that injected CO2 will remain trapped in the subsurface for thousands of years or more. A significant issue for storage security is the geomechanical respon...
متن کاملSurface Monitoring of Microseismicity at the Decatur, Illinois, CO2 Sequestration Demonstration Site
Sequestration of CO2 into subsurface reservoirs can play an important role in limiting future emission of CO2 into the atmosphere (e.g., Benson and Cole, 2008). For geologic sequestration to become a viable option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, large-volume injection of super-critical CO2 into deep sedimentary formations is required. These formations offer large pore volumes and good pore ...
