A Hybrid Optimization Methodology Identifying Optimal Operating Conditions for Carbon Dioxide Injection in Geologic Carbon Sequestration

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage in Saline Aquifers: Subsurface Policies, Development Plans, Well Control Strategies and Optimization Approaches—A Review

“…On this basis, several methods have been investigated in many studies to deal with the complexity and solve the optimization problem, arriving at a technically safe and economically viable injection schedule. These methods utilize both local and global optimization techniques combined with derivative-based or derivative-free approaches while considering various development schemes, such as brine production/recycling, and applying different technical and economic policies in the form of objective functions, boxes, or non-linear constraints [62][63][64][65][66]. For example, Shamshiri and Jafarpour [67] considered honoring the engineering policy of maximizing storage security; thus, the long-term containment of carbon storage in saline aquifers in an indirect fashion in their optimization model through the adoption of an objective function that aims to improve CO 2 sweep efficiency using the BFGS algorithm [68] to obtain a technically sound injection schedule was possible.…”
