Capture and subsequent injection of carbon dioxide into deep geological formations is being considered as a means to reduce anthropogenic emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere. If such a strategy is to be successful, the injected CO2 must remain within the injection formation for long periods of time, at least several hundred years. Because mature continental sedimentary basins have a century-long...

The carbon dioxide flux at the air/water interface in lakes was calculated after the determination of H2CO3* (free CO2) and atmospheric CO2 using flow injection analysis (FIA) coupled to a conductometric detector. The method is based on the diffusion of CO2 through a hydrophobic membrane into a flow of deionized water, generating a gradient of conductivity proportional to the concentration of C...

The mechanisms by which CO2 and water interact in coal remain unclear and these are key questions for understanding ECBM processes and defining the long-term behaviour of injected CO2. In our experiments, we injected helium/CO2 to displace water in eight water-saturated samples. We used low-field NMR relaxation to investigate CO2 and water interactions in these coals across a variety of time-sc...

The beach-bar sand reservoir of the Sha 4 Member Shahejie Formation in Dongying Sag is main oil-bearing formation this area. In recent years, its proven reserves have been getting lower and lower, poor petrophysical properties made water injection development difficult. turn, it results a rapid decline elastic productivity low oil recovery. study, experimental evaluation numerical simulation re...

the gas-assisted gravity drainage (gagd) process is designed and practiced based on gravitydrainage idea and uses the advantage of density difference between injected co2 and reservoir oil.in this work, one of iran western oilfields was selected as a case study and a sector model wassimulated based on its rock and fluid properties. the pressure of co2 gas injection was close to themmp of the oi...

Abstract We develop an Eulerian-Lagrangian numerical model for the simulation of fully miscible, highly compressible, multicomponent fluid flow processes through compressible porous media with multiple injection and production wells. We describe the numerical schemes, the treatment of the multiple injection and production wells, problems related to characteristic tracking, and other issues. We ...

One of the important challenges in geological storage of CO2 is predicting, monitoring, and managing the risk of leakage from natural and artificial pathways such as fractures, faults, and abandoned wells. The risk of leakage arises from the buoyancy of free-phase mobile CO2 (gas or supercritical fluid). When CO2 dissolves into formation brine, or is trapped as residual phase, buoyancy forces a...

Ocean storage of CO2 was proposed by Marchetti as one of greenhouse gas control technologies, where CO2 is captured from flue gas of fossil fuels and injected into deep seafloor below the depth of 3500m to be sequestered from the atmosphere as shown in Fig. 1. In the last decade of the twenties century, there was a great progress in study on the ocean storage. Aya and his colleagues and Nishika...
