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.
