Carbon capture and storage
Modeling solubility trapping at reservoir scale remains a key challenge for carbon storage projects. This study introduces a novel sub-grid convective mixing model, implemented in the Open Porous Media Flow simulator and applied to the SPE11 benchmark, that enables accurate prediction of carbon dioxide dissolution trapping in geological storage using computationally e…
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
This work presents an evaluation for carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects in the UAE for two wells in a saline water aquifer with respect to caprock integrity and water sampling.

Norwegian energy company Equinor has acquired a 25% stake in the Bayou Bend CCS project from Houston-based Carbonvert. -
Thailand's coal mining giant Banpu said it has signed an agreement to launch a third carbon capture and sequestration project in the US.

Decades of experience injecting fluids into the ground has revealed a fundamental truth: No two injection sites are the same. A thorough understanding of site-specific conditions is essential to ensure safe and secure long-term subsurface disposal of carbon dioxide.

The region stands to benefit from TotalEnergies’ experience as a partner in Norway’s Northern Lights CCS development to decarbonize industrial operations in northern Europe. The first injection of carbon dioxide at Northern Lights is expected in 2024.

Because the basics of CCS and CCUS are mostly familiar to a large part of the readership, I am choosing to bring to your attention the summary of those articles that are devoted to approaches other than or beyond CCS, even if they have to climb further on the development ladder. These include bio-based approaches, geothermal, and use of hydrogen as a substitute fuel.
