“…One key determinate is the MMP which ensures that the CO 2 is supercritical and therefore fully miscible under reservoir conditions. In a first order approach it can be determined using the depth and the temperature of the reservoir as done by Godec et al (2011). Another traceable characteristic is the specific oil gravity (°API) which is a measure for the specific density of the crude oil in place.…”

Based on a comprehensive dataset, the paper develops a unique techno-economic market equilibrium model of CO 2 supply from emission sources and CO 2 demand from CO 2 -EOR to assess implications for a future CCTS infrastructure. The demand for "fresh" CO 2 for CO 2 -EOR operation is represented by an exponential storage cost function. In all scenarios of varying CO 2 and crude oil price paths the assumed CO 2 -EOR potential is fully exploited. CO 2 -EOR does add value to CCTS operations but the potential is very limited and does not automatically induce long term CCTS activity. If CO 2 prices stay low, little further use of CCTS can be expected after 2035. Terms of use: Documents in

“…Being an economically convenient technique, it has already been used in the U.S. for many decades. However, traditional EOR was not intended to maximize carbon storage, and the amount of CO 2 trapped has always been relatively low (Godec et al, 2011;IEA, 2015). Depleted oil or gas fields can be reliable storage sites, as they have naturally stored natural gas for thousands of years and have been geologically fully characterized.…”

Bearing the Cost of Stored Carbon Leakage

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is considered a key technology for stabilizing climate change. However, leakage of CO 2 from stored carbon can potentially undermine the value of carbon storage as a mitigation option. Thus, monitoring and verifiability of CO 2 storage should be encouraged through policy provisions such as accounting and pricing of leaked emissions. Here we assess different institutional and economic mechanisms for accounting for carbon leakage. Using an integrated assessment model we quantify the impacts on the climate, the economy and the mitigation strategies. Results show that carbon leakage can reduce the share of fossil based CCS by up to 35%, if it is controlled and correctly priced. Biomass based CCS is less affected. Accounting for leakage leads to an increase of climate policy costs of up to 0.4 percentage points due to increased emissions. • China, Latin America, the U.S., and Canada have the highest expected leakage.

The change in contact angle at unsaturated CO₂‐water conditions: Implication on geological carbon dioxide sequestration

The performance of a geologic carbon storage site strongly depends on the capillary pressure of sealing rock and formations. While wettability of minerals is a key factor in capillary pressure, published contact angles are inconsistent. This study explores the discrepancy of published contact angles in order to reduce the uncertainty of measured laboratory contact angles, and understand the variation of contact angles at unsaturated CO 2 -water conditions. A ratio of droplet dimension and triple line (or contact line) are used to explain the observed wide range of contact angles and the variation of contact angle at unsaturated conditions. Results show that the shape factor has a good agreement with contact angle change during CO 2 dissolution in water. Silica substrate has clear two pinned and slip stages of triple line during CO 2 droplet dissolution, which cause contact angle on silica substrate to increase from 34.58 to 42.18. However, mica substrate has the repeated pinned and slip stages due to the heterogeneity of mica surface, which cause contact angle to increase dramatically from 25.48 to 68.18. Thus, both the impact of the unsaturated CO 2 -water conditions on the wide range of contact angle and the heterogeneity of mineral surface should be considered when one estimates capillary pressure based on contact angle in geological CO 2 sequestration. R( 1) where P C is capillary pressure, P CO2 is CO 2 pressure, P water is water pressure, c CO2-water is the water-CO 2 interfacial tension, h is the water contact angle on mineral surface, and R is pore radius.
