CO2 Storage in Saline Aquifers
CO2 Storage in Saline Aquifers — Saline aquifers represent a promising way for CO2 sequestration. Storage capacities of saline aquifers are very important around the world. The Sleipner site in the North Sea is currently the single case world-wide of CO2 storage in a saline aquifer. A general review is given on the specific risks for CO2 storage in saline aquifer. The regional distribution of C...
متن کاملHow pressure buildup and CO2 migration can both constrain storage capacity in deep saline aquifers
A promising way to mitigate global warming is to sequester CO2 in deep saline aquifers. In order to determine which aquifers are the best for sequestration, it is helpful to estimate how much CO2 they can store. Currently, this is difficult because both the pressure buildup from injection and the volume of available pore space have been identified as constraints, but have not been compared to d...
متن کاملReservoir Simulation of CO2 Storage in Deep Saline Aquifers
We present the results of compositional reservoir simulation of a prototypical CO2 sequestration project in a deep saline aquifer. The objective was to better understand and quantify estimates of the most important CO2 storage mechanisms under realistic physical conditions. Simulations of a few decades of CO2 injection followed by 10 to 10 years of natural gradient flow were done. The impact of...
متن کاملModel Study of the Pressure Build-Up during Subcutaneous Injection
In this study we estimate the subcutaneous tissue counter pressure during drug infusion from a series of injections of insulin in type 2 diabetic patients using a non-invasive method. We construct a model for the pressure evolution in subcutaneous tissue based on mass continuity and the flow laws of a porous medium. For equivalent injection forces we measure the change in the infusion rate betw...
متن کاملMixing in confined stratified aquifers.
Spatial variability in a flow field leads to spreading of a tracer plume. The effect of microdispersion is to smooth concentration gradients that exist in the system. The combined effect of these two phenomena leads to an 'effective' enhanced mixing that can be asymptotically quantified by an effective dispersion coefficient (i.e. Taylor dispersion). Mixing plays a fundamental role in driving c...
