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 evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico.

SPE Canada held its first carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) workshop in May 2021. The workshop in Calgary enabled SPE members, CCUS-focused entrepreneurs, finance providers, and policy makers to share knowledge related to emissions issues, policy, economics, technology development, and geologic considerations. -
Selling reservoirs’ empty pore space may become a new, big business.

While the world focuses on carbon dioxide—its problems and its uses—many are looking at how to move it around. Fortunately, a pipeline infrastructure already exists. Unfortunately, the pipelines were made for natural gas and not enough is known about how that infrastructure can handle carbon dioxide.
