On scale and magnitude of pressure build-up induced by large-scale geologic storage of CO2

Earthquake triggering and large-scale geologic storage of carbon dioxide.

Despite its enormous cost, large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered a viable strategy for significantly reducing CO(2) emissions associated with coal-based electrical power generation and other industrial sources of CO(2) [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2005) IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage. Prepared by Working Group III of the Intergovern...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

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

Multi-scale Petrography and Fluid Dynamics of Caprocks Associated with Geologic Co2 Storage

Implementation of the underground storage of anthropogenic CO2 in geologic media requires containment of the CO2. The general concept for onshore, deep (> 800 m) geologic environments includes both a permeable reservoir and an overlying low permeability, high capillary-breakthrough-pressure “caprock”. Significant migration of the buoyant CO2 from the reservoir may lead to inadequate performance...
