Summary

The solubility of carbon dioxide (CO2) in underground saline formations is considered to offer significant long-term storage capability to effectively sequester large amounts of anthropogenic CO2. Unlike enhanced oil recovery (EOR), geosequestration relies on longer time scales and involves significantly greater volumes of CO2. Many geosequestration studies assume that the initial brine state is one containing no dissolved hydrocarbons and, therefore, apply simplistic two-component solubility models starting from a zero dissolved-gas state. Many brine formations near hydrocarbons, however, tend to be close to saturation by methane (CH4). The introduction of excess CO2 in such systems results in an extraction of the CH4 into the CO2-rich phase, which, in turn, has implications for monitoring of any sequestration project and offers the possibly additional CH4 mobilization and recovery.

Some of the OnePetro partner societies have developed subject- specific wikis that may help.


 


PetroWiki was initially created from the seven volume  Petroleum Engineering Handbook (PEH) published by the  Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).








The SEG Wiki is a useful collection of information for working geophysicists, educators, and students in the field of geophysics. The initial content has been derived from : Robert E. Sheriff's Encyclopedic Dictionary of Applied Geophysics, fourth edition.
