A numerical analysis of supercritical CO2 injection into geological formations
conference contribution
posted on 2015-08-21, 13:50 authored by Kamal Khudaida, Diganta DasDiganta DasOne of the most promising means of reducing carbon
contents in the ambience and tackling the global warming
threat is injecting carbon dioxide into deep saline aquifers
(DSAs). Selecting a site to store CO2 depends on many
controlling parameters including permeability,
heterogeneity, hydrostatic conditions, injection scenarios
and domain grid resolution. In this research study, we aim
to investigate the influence of different injection scenarios
and flow conditions on the storage capacity and efficiency
of CO2 in geological formations. This is carried out through
a series of numerical simulations employed on 3-D
hypothetical homogeneous and heterogeneous aquifers
utilizing STOMP-CO2 simulation code. The results of this
work are expected to play a key role in providing insight
knowledge for assessing the feasibility of various
geological formations for CO2 storage.
