II . 3 . 2 Rapid Prediction of CO 2 Movement in Aquifers , Coal Beds , and Oil and Gas Reservoirs

چکیده
Background Considerable effort has been devoted to the development of reservoir simulation tools for the oil industry, and there are high-quality simulators available that handle effectively many of the flow problems appropriate to oil and gas reservoirs. One area where simulator development is continuing, however, is in the simulation of processes in which multiple components transfer between whatever phases are present in the porous medium. Injection of CO2 into geologic reservoirs inevitably involves such component transfers, as the injected CO2 dissolves in any water or oil present, as hydrocarbons transfer to the relatively dense CO2-rich phase, or as CO2, methane, and possibly N2 adsorb and desorb in coal.

Toward zero emissions from coal in China
China depends for most of its energy on coal – a situation that is likely to persist in the light of the abundance of its coal resources, the paucity of its oil and gas resources, and the reluctance of the government to allow China to become overly dependent on energy imports. The challenge is to find ways to use coal without the enormous air pollution damage caused by current conversion techno...
متن کاملReductive Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide
The United States currently meets 80% of its energy needs by burning fossil fuels to form CO2. The combustion-based production of CO2 has evolved into a major environmental challenge that extends beyond national borders and the issue has become as politically charged as it is technologically demanding. Whereas CO2 levels in the atmosphere had remained stable over the 10,000 years preceeding the...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of oil, natural gas and coal consumption in Iran’s economic growth during the periods from 1980 to 2012. The stationary analysis is performed by using ADF and Phillips-Perron unit root test and Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach was used to test for co-integration between the variables. The findings show that the variables are co...
متن کاملA Review of CO2 Sequestration Projects and Application in China
In 2008, the top CO2 emitters were China, United States, and European Union. The rapid growing economy and the heavy reliance on coal in China give rise to the continued growth of CO2 emission, deterioration of anthropogenic climate change, and urgent need of new technologies. Carbon Capture and sequestration is one of the effective ways to provide reduction of CO2 emission and mitigation of po...
