Geomechanical response of overburden caused by CO 2 injection into a depleted oil reservoir

Geomechanical simulation of the stress tensor rotation caused by injection of cold water in a deep geothermal reservoir

We present a three-dimensional thermohydromechanical numerical study of the evolution and distribution of the stress tensor within the northwest part of The Geysers geothermal reservoir (in California), including a detailed study of the region around one injection well from 2003 to 2012. Initially, after imposing a normal faulting stress regime, we calculated local changes in the stress regime ...

Sequestration of CO2 in a Depleted Oil Reservoir: An Overview

Geologic sequestration of CO2 in depleted oil reservoirs, while a complex issue, is thought to be a safe and effective carbon management strategy. This paper provides an overview of a NETLsponsored R&D project to predict and monitor the migration and ultimate fate of CO2 after being injected into a depleted oil reservoir as part of a micropilot scale field experiment. The Queen Formation sandst...

Experimental Investigation of Hot Water Injection into Carbonate Heavy Oil Reservoir

consequence analysis of the leakage, ignition and explosion during high pressure sour gas injection process to the oil reservoir

there is no doubt that human being needs to become integrated with industry and industry needs to be progressed, daily. on the other hand, serious events in industrial units specially in oil industries has been shown that such damages and events are industry related ones. the consequence of such events and damages which resulted in chemical and poisoned explosions and loss of life and property ...

Numerical modeling of self - limiting and self - enhancing caprock alteration induced by CO 2 storage in a depleted gas reservoir

This paper presents numerical simulations of reactive transport which may be induced in the caprock of an on-shore depleted gas reservoir by the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide. The objective is to verify that CO2 geological disposal activities currently being planned for the study area are safe and do not induce any undesired environmental impact. In our model, fluid flow and minera...
