Significant stress changes caused by sorption-induced swelling raise the coal wellbore failure potential, which directly impacts safety and sustainability of CO2 enhanced coalbed methane (CO2-ECBM). Additionally, a mixture gas (CO2/N2) injection is recommended due to sharp decline permeability with pure injection. In this study, incorporating adsorption poroelastic effects, semi-analytical mode...

    In this study, it was shown that how CO2 and H2S were removed from a natural gas stream, using a nanofluid containing nanoporous graphene in Diehanolamine (DEA). Before running the experiments, the appropriate values were chosen for the nanosheet dosage and the liquid and gas flow rates in the absorption experiments, which were performed in a laboratory scale wetted wall column. In the expe...

The recovery of CH4 gas from natural hydrate formations by injection of industrially emitted CO2 is considered to be a promising solution to simultaneously access an unconventional fossil fuel reserve and counteract atmospheric CO2 increase. CO2 obtained from industrial processes may contain traces of impurities such as SO2 or NOx and natural gas hydrates may contain higher hydrocarbons such as...

This project aims to demonstrate techniques for quantitatively predicting the combined seismic signatures of CO2 saturation, chemical changes to the rock frame, and pore pressure. This will be accomplished (i) by providing a better understanding the reaction kinetics of CO2-bearing reactive fluids with rock-forming minerals, and (ii) by quantifying how the resulting long-term, CO2-injection-ind...

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in depleted oil reservoirs is one of the viable options for carbon management. This paper describes the preliminary modeling and flow simulation part of a DOE sponsored CO2 sequestration project. The main objective of the project is to understand the feasibility of long term sequestration of CO2 in a depleted oil reservoir through a field demonstration expe...

Several studies have shown that oil recovery significantly increased by low salinity water flooding (LSWF) in sandstones. However, mechanism of oil recovery improvement is still controversial. CO2 that develops buffer in presence of water is expected as a deterrent factor in LSWF efficiency based on mechanism of IFT reduction due to pH uprising. No bright evidence in literature suppo...

introduction earth's atmosphere plays an important role in preventing the temperature decrease. one of the principal factors of environmental pollution and the main source of earth's climate and biodiversity changes is greenhouse gas emissions from various sources, particularly agricultural sector. agriculture sector is considered as a major source of greenhouse gas sequestration, including me...

The Sim-SEQ project coordinated by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) aims at providing a comparative study of different conceptual models with respect to predicting the behavior of CO2 geological storage operations conducted on a reservoir formation, while using the same database for site characterization. The S-3 site has been selected for conducting such a comparative study. Al...
