Petrophysical and petrochemical effects of long-term CO2 -exposure experiments on brine-saturated reservoir sandstone
Abstract Sandstone samples of the Stuttgart Formation at Ketzin have been experimentally treated with CO2 and synthetic reservoir brine in high-quality steel autoclaves at simulated in situ P-T conditions of 5.5 MPa and 40 °C. In order to observe...

Bio-IGCC with CCS as a long-term mitigation option in a coupled energy-system and land-use model
Abstract This study analyses the impact of techno-economic performance of the BIGCC process and the effect of different biomass feedstocks on the technology’s long term deployment in climate change mitigation scenarios. As the BIGCC technology...

The economics of pressure-relief with CO2 injection
Abstract In this paper we examine the trade-offs of using or not using pressure-relief for a number of representative model aquifers. We show that pressure relief increases injectivity and the degree to which it increases injection rates depends on...

Importance of dissolution and precipitation kinetics for mineral carbonation
Abstract Studies of olivine carbonation are relevant for ex-situ CO2 storage, and the main results can be transferrable to geological storage of CO2. The total reaction rate of mineral and CO2 is always dependent on the slowest partial reaction, and ...

Yield of an improved solar still: numerical approach
Abstract In this work we propose to improve the production of active solar still by the use on the one hand, of external and internal reflectors in order to increase the rate of received overall solar radiation and on the other hand by using a...

Classification of CO2 Geologic Storage: Resource and Capacity
Abstract The use of the term capacity to describe possible geologic storage implies a realistic or likely volume of CO2 to be sequestered. Poor data quantity and quality may lead to very high uncertainty in the storage estimate. Use of the term...

Monitoring the reservoir geochemistry of the Pembina Cardium CO2 monitoring project, Drayton Valley, Alberta
Abstract The Pembina Cardium CO2 Monitoring Project in central Alberta was built to assess the Cardium formation’s storage potential for CO2 and stimulate oil production. Three baseline trips and 28 monitoring trips were undertaken over a three year ...

Microbially enhanced geologic containment of sequestered supercritical CO2
Abstract Geologic sequestration of CO2 involves injection into underground formations including oil beds, deep un-minable coal seams, and deep saline aquifers with temperature and pressure conditions such that CO2 will likely be in the supercritical ...

Experimental study on monitoring and quantifying of injected CO2 from resistivity measurement in saline aquifer storage
Abstract To make sure that CO2 is safely and securely stored in the reservoir, only way for us to know is to monitor the injected CO2. In most of the injection sites, monitoring is conducted to understand the behavior and distribution of CO2. Also...

CO2 Interim storage: Technical characteristics and potential role in CO2 market development
Abstract In the absence of legislation that imposes a price on CO2 emissions, few significant economic incentives currently exist for largescale commercial application of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS). A novel technique, currently under development, ...

Optimizing energy production with integrated CCS technology for CO2 emissions mitigation in the Canadian oil sands industry
Abstract The forecasted energy production of oil sands operations in Alberta in the year 2030 were optimised under CO2 emissions constraints, using a mixed integer linear optimisation model. The model features a variety of technologies (with and...
