Geological storage of CO2 that has been captured at large, point source emitters represents a key potential method for reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, this technology will only be viable if it can be guaranteed that injected CO2 will remain trapped in the subsurface for thousands of years or more. A significant issue for storage security is the geomechanical respon...

This paper concerns the discretization on general 3D meshes of multiphase compositional Darcy flows in heterogeneous anisotropic porous media. Extending Coats’ formulation [15] to an arbitrary number of phases, the model accounts for the coupling of the mass balance of each component with the pore volume conservation and the thermodynamical equilibrium, and dynamically manages phase appearance ...

This study focuses on the derivation of a semi-analytical approach for the evaluation of surface uplift and caprock deflection induced by underground injection of CO2. The adopted methodology includes the development of amathematical model that incorporates the deformable behaviour of the storage reservoir and the flow of two immiscible fluids (CO2 and brine) within the aquifer while the surfac...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one option for mitigatining atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide and thereby contributes in actions for stabilization of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Carbon dioxide storage in geological formations has been in practice since early 1970s. Information and experience gained from the injection and/or storage of CO2 from a large number of ...

As a promising technology to improve shale gas (SG) recovery and CO2 storage capacity, the multi-well pads (MWPs) scheme has gained more and more attention. The semi-analytical pressure-buildup method has been used to estimate CO2 storage capacity. It focuses on single multi-fractured horizontal wells (SMFHWs) and does not consider multi-well pressure interference (MWPI) induced by the MWPs sch...

CO2 capture is an important aid to achieve the goals of reduced emissions. Today market for captured limited. Injection in oil reservoirs one way utilizing and provide permanent storage CO2. By injecting CO2, mobility increased, amount residual reduced. This called enhanced recovery. The goal this study show effects injection combined with autonomous inflow control valves on production. Simulat...

Understanding the dynamics of pore-scale multicomponent gas and oil mass transfer across water "lms during hydrocarbon gas injection in petroleum reservoirs is important in the design of tertiary oil recovery schemes at the "eld scale. The water "lms prevent oil and gas coming into direct contact and, for miscible gas injection, delay the onset of miscibility. We use a pore-scale model to descr...

Studies have shown that, coal seam, an un-conventional reservoir, is considered as a promising option for CO2 sequestration because of its large CO2 sequestration capacity, long time CO2 trapping and extra enhanced coal-bed methane (ECBM) production benefits. However, unlike conventional reservoirs, gas flow in the coal seam can cause the cleat permeability and porosity change during the inject...
