Geologic Heterogeneity Controls on Trapping and Migration of CO2

“…Predicting these flows is difficult due to the complex rock heterogeneities that are ubiquitous in geologic systems. In all such subsurface environments, sub‐seismic heterogeneities (centimeter to meter) exert control on the large‐scale flow dynamics (Corbett et al., 1992; Murphy et al., 1984; Ringrose & Bentley, 2015).…”

The impact of heterogeneous mixed siliciclastic–carbonate systems on CO 2 geological storage

“…This explains the irregular shaped plume in Model 1 compared to Models 2 and 3 which behave more homogeneously. In particular, low viscosity gas reservoirs are sensitive to higher contrasts in permeability and justify a simple modelling exercise (Ringrose and Bentley 2015). Heterogeneity needs to be considered as injectivity generally decreases with increasing heterogeneity (e.g., Lengler et al 2010) and the storage efficiency decreases with localized pressure build-up (Goater et al 2013).…”

Stratigraphic forward modelling of distributive fluvial systems based on the Huesca System, Ebro Basin, northern Spain

“…NTG is a key consideration in hydrocarbon reservoir studies, and there are numerous definitions (Ringrose & Bentley, 2015). In simple terms, it is the proportion of the rock volume that has the potential to be reservoir.…”
