Injection of a CO2-Reactive Solution for Wellbore Annulus Leakage Remediation

REACTIVE TRANSPORT MODELLING OF DISSOLVED CO2 IN POROUS MEDIA Injection into and leakage from geological reservoirs

Reactive transport modelling of dissolved CO 2 in porous media iii Dedicated to my parents (late) and eldest sister. iv Reactive transport modelling of dissolved CO 2 in porous media v ABSTRACT The geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is seen as one of the options of mitigating the imbalance of greenhouse gas emissions and to avoid global warming. However, leakage of CO 2 from the ...

Semianalytical solution for CO2 leakage through an abandoned well.

Capture and subsequent injection of carbon dioxide into deep geological formations is being considered as a means to reduce anthropogenic emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere. If such a strategy is to be successful, the injected CO2 must remain within the injection formation for long periods of time, at least several hundred years. Because mature continental sedimentary basins have a century-long...

Microseismic Monitoring of CO2 Injection at the Penn West Enhanced Oil Recovery Pilot Project, Canada: Implications for Detection of Wellbore Leakage

A passive seismic monitoring campaign was carried out in the frame of a CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) pilot project in Alberta, Canada. Our analysis focuses on a two-week period during which prominent downhole pressure fluctuations in the reservoir were accompanied by a leakage of CO2 and CH4 along the monitoring well equipped with an array of short-period borehole geophones. We applied state...

The Development of a Gas–Liquid Two-Phase Flow Sensor Applicable to CBM Wellbore Annulus

The measurement of wellbore annulus gas-liquid two-phase flow in CBM (coalbed methane) wells is of great significance for reasonably developing gas drainage and extraction processes, estimating CBM output, judging the operating conditions of CBM wells and analyzing stratum conditions. Hence, a specially designed sensor is urgently needed for real-time measurement of gas-liquid two-phase flow in...
