... breakthrough time reservoir aquifer injection rate enhanced recovery saline aquifer Introduction The pressing need for a clean and renewable energy infrastructure is primarily driven by the worldwide depletion of easily recoverable fossil fuel resources and the alarming trends in climate change...

... Abstract The effects of heterogeneity in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in saline aquifers have been investigated extensively and are known to have important bearings on the storage capacity of the aquifer. In CCS projects, the time-lapse seismic survey has been proposed as a valuable tool...

... Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of CO 2 sequestration on groundwater abstraction above the storage formation. Large-scale (10Mt/yr) CO 2 injection in underlying saline aquifers is considered using a fully compositional simulator to study the pressure distribution...

... Abstract The most promising near term solution to reduce CO 2 emissions is to capture the CO 2 produced from coal and gas fired power plants and inject it into deeply buried saline aquifers. However a large amount of these plants are far away from deep sedimentary basins and therefore...

... Abstract ZeroGen-11 is the first pilot CO 2 injection well, air drilled by ZeroGen in the North Denison Trough. Its objective was to evaluate low permeability saline aquifers for suitability to commercial scale CO 2 sequestration by investigating the injectivity of super-critical CO 2...

... Abstract Carbon dioxide sequestration in deep saline aquifers is a means of reducing anthropogenic atmospheric emissions of CO 2 . Among various mechanisms, CO 2 can be trapped in saline aquifers by dissolution in the formation water. Vaporization of water occurs along with the dissolution...
