Mineral trapping of CO2 only occurs on geological timescales. A new technology holds promise to accelerate the pace in years. -
Since the discovery of its first offshore reservoirs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, North Sea has a long and proud history in oil production and technical innovation.

As the global economy continues to grow, carbon emissions are also projected to rise. While large-scale geothermal, nuclear, solar, and wind deployment as well as increased electrification could blunt emissions growth, net-negative carbon technologies will be needed to reach the United Nation’s two-degree target. That will require massive investment in carbon capture,…

This article introduces MRST-co2lab, a free and open-source module in MRST, which can be used to carry out reservoir simulations covering the whole life cycle of a CO2 project.
-
The industry is currently injecting more pore volumes of CO2 than earlier. There is more emphasis on maintaining wellbore conditions and improving sweep efficiency.
-
The use of logistic growth models can provide a simple framework to evaluate CO2 storage scale-up and constrain outputs from existing energy systems models.
-
The article describes some of the innovative technologies that have been successfully developed and deployed by Saudi Aramco's production technology department.
-
Pore-to-process simulation concept refers to coupling all production system elements such as reservoir(s), wells, pipeline network, and facilities. Pore-to-process simulation will enable several what-if scenarios evaluation, identify production bottlenecks, and optimize asset oil- and water-production rates.
-
The ability for conventional geothermal to produce both reliable power and heating/cooling is the major differentiator from other renewable forms of energy.
