... Abstract Enhance oil recovery using CO 2 as a solvent is posed to be a major technology in producing energy with a lower carbon footprint. It is therefore important to operate such technologies in an efficient manner. Foam-assisted technologies in which a surfactant aids conformance of the CO...

... Abstract Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) operations in the Pre-salt Santos basin oil fields should injected, by 2025, a total of 80 million tons of CO 2 , as additional production units enter operation. This stands as one of the largest CCUS projects in the world, since the CO 2...

... Abstract Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) facilities are crucial to mitigate the global emissions in the next years in industrial scale. In the first CCUS pilot projects, the CO 2 injection wells were developed using traditional hydraulic systems, resulting in overly complex...

... Abstract Assessing the Viability of a Compact CO 2 -capture Technology for Offshore Installations: Design, Development, and Pilot Scale Demonstration The purpose of the R&D project discussed in this paper is to assess the potential of a novel compact CO 2 -capture technology...

... Abstract CO 2 storage into reservoirs aims to reduce global Green House Gas emission. CO 2 is injected into the reservoir in supercritical conditions and undergoes expansion when reaching the lower pressures of the depleted reservoir. During start-up, or restart, rapid CO 2 expansion...

... Abstract The solubility of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in water is an important parameter in various scientific fields, including environmental sciences, chemistry, and climate studies. This paper aims to investigate the effect of pH on the solubility of CO 2 in water. It explores the underlying...

... in natural gas after the removal of contaminants, especially CO 2 (carbon dioxide), which is methane (70%). In this sense, stationary production units should incorporate processes aiming at the transformations necessary to obtain blue hydrogen and blue ammonia. Methane (CH 4 ) is one of the gases that most...

... Abstract Libra field has reservoir fluids with high GOR and CO 2 content which add significant challenges to the development projects. Innovative solutions on topsides were assessed to optimize the process plant, aiming to reduce complexity, footprint, and weight, to allow processing capacity...

... analysis yield information about stress regime and direction. Recent years saw an increased interest in acoustics geomechanics for geological carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) storage, to understand the potential of caprock to trap CO 2 . Mohr’s coulomb, uniaxial strain, and poroelastic stress method played a key...

... of that, the time to sample could last from hours to over half a day, which can scale up for long reservoirs with multiple sampling depths. Therefore, this work aims to reduce the CO 2 footprint and risks related to sampling jobs by optimizing the sampling time. The workflow developed uses petrophysics...

... Abstract Knowing the characteristics of oil and the presence of contaminants (such as CO 2 ) is essential for the proper evaluation of a petroleum accumulation. This work aimed to verify the accuracy of the oil composition estimates obtained by the In-Situ Fluid Analyzer (IFA) module, from SLB...

... SM 5520B replaced SM 5520F by the environmental agency, WSO started to share (with dispersed oil) an important variable on the O&W separation. Most of Santos Basin units present high CO 2 content on the production streams. Due to the gas and water equilibrium, it is expected produced water has...

In this study, calcite deposition in the reservoir during CO 2 injection processes is evaluated deterministically. Limited...

... Abstract CO 2 -WAG (Water-Alternating-Gas) has been applied in offshore Brazilian oilfields to improve recovery rates and mitigate the environmental impact that venting produced CO 2 would bring. Although CO 2 is highly miscible in oil under these reservoirs conditions, this gas is also...

... Abstract Libra Area has presented gas/oil ratio (GOR) and CO 2 content higher than the typically found in other Pre-Salt fields. These characteristics can significantly increase the size and complexity of the gas processing plant (GPP), especially in gas export scenarios. More efficient gas...
