We present an efficient compositional framework for simulation of CO2 storage in saline aquifers with complex geological geometries during a lifelong injection and migration process. To improve the computation efficiency, the general framework considers the essential hydrodyna ...
Successful deployment of geological carbon storage (GCS) requires an extensive use of reservoir simulators for screening, ranking and optimization of storage sites. However, the time scales of GCS are such that no sufficient long-term data is available yet to validate the simu ...
CO2 sequestration and storage in deep saline aquifers is a promising technology for mitigating the excessive concentration of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. However, accurately predicting the migration of CO2 plumes requires complex multi-physics-b ...
Simulation of CO2 Storage Using a Parameterization Method for Essential Trapping Physics
FluidFlower Benchmark Study
An efficient compositional framework is developed for simulation of CO 2 storage in saline aquifers during a full-cycle injection, migration and post-migration processes. Essential trapping mechanisms, including structural, dissolution, and residual trapping, which ...
The past decades have witnessed an increasing interest in numerical simulation for flow in fractured porous media. To date, most studies have focused on 2D or pseudo-3D computational models, where the impact of 3D complex structures on seepage has not been fully addressed. Thi ...
Contamination caused by non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in aquifers and soil is an important challenge that requires effective remediation techniques. One potential approach is through the use of CO2 foams to displace NAPLs from permeable media. CO2 foa ...
Striving to translate shale physics across ten orders of magnitude
What have we learned?
Shales will play an important role in the successful transition of energy from fossil-based resources to renewables in the coming decades. Aside from being a significant source of low-carbon intensity fuels, like natural gas, they also serve as geologic seals of subsurface for ...

4—the most-produced organic compound. However, the formation of carbonate in this process causes loss of CO
Accurate prediction of flow behavior in shale matrix is critical for efficient development of shale gas reservoirs. In these systems, the majority of pores are in the nano-size range. As a result, continuum-based approaches may not be appropriate to simulate flow in such syste ...
