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 introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.

In chemical-looping combustion (CLC), oxygen is transferred from an air reactor to a fuel reactor by means of a solid oxygen carrier. -
The deployment of appropriate CO2-separation technologies for natural gas processing is viewed as an abatement measure toward global CO2-emissions reduction. Selection of the optimum technology requires special attentiion.

The authors discuss the results of a pilot project to capture post-combustion CO2 for purposes of EOR.

Several geological settings are appropriate for geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), including depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep brine-saturated formations, CO2-flood enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) operations, and enhanced coalbed-methane recovery.

Total has been involved in CO2 injection and geological storage for more than 15 years, in Canada (Weyburn oil field) for enhanced oil recovery and in Norway (Sleipner and Snohvit fields) for aquifer storage.
