“…Three of the problems were taken from a recent code intercomparison study, in which ten groups from six countries exercised different simulation codes to generate results for a suite of test problems . These problems include a basic injection problem (Section 5.2), a basic fault leakage problem (Section 5.3), and a CO 2 storage problem with 2-D geometry loosely patterned after the Sleipner Vest CO 2 injection project (Kongsjorden et al, 1997;Lindeberg et al, 2002) in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea (Section 5.4).…”

SummaryECO2N V2.0 is a fluid property module for the TOUGH2 simulator (Version 2.1) that was designed for applications to geologic sequestration of CO 2 in saline aquifers and enhanced geothermal reservoirs. ECO2N V2.0 is an enhanced version of the previous ECO2N V1.0 module (Pruess, 2005). It expands the temperature range up to about 300 o C whereas V1.0 can only be used for temperatures below about 110 o C. V2.0 includes a comprehensive description of the thermodynamics and thermophysical properties of H 2 O -NaCl -CO 2 mixtures, that reproduces fluid properties largely within experimental error for the temperature, pressure and salinity conditions of interest (10 °C < T < 300 °C; P < 600 bar; salinity up to halite saturation). This includes density, viscosity, and specific enthalpy of fluid phases as functions of temperature, pressure, and composition, as well as partitioning of mass components H 2 O, NaCl and CO 2 among the different phases. In particular, V2.0 accounts for the effects of water on the thermophysical properties of the CO 2 -rich phase, which was ignored in V1.0, using a model consistent with the solubility models developed by Pruess (2005, 2010). In terms of solubility models, This report gives technical specifications of ECO2N V2.0 and includes instructions for preparing input data.

“…The presented results show that the lateral fluid flow boundary conditions have a significant influence on CO2 sequestration parameters. Although huge aquifers such as Sleipner [Kongsjorden et al, 1998] exist throughout the world that have high potential for CO2 sequestration, they may not be in the vicinity of the power plant(s) of interest or meet the salinity level requirements set forward by federal or state regulations; thus an important step in CO2 sequestration feasibility study of a candidate aquifer should be determination of its size. This can be achieved by analogy between the existing and well established practices in petroleum engineering for well testing and estimation of the size/drainage radius of an oil well.…”

“…At present, the separated CO 2 is in most projects vented into the atmosphere. It can also be captured and stored in the underground as demonstrated by Statoil and Gaz de France since 1996, respectively (D'Hoore, 2005Kongsjorden et al, 1998). CO 2 can also be captured from power plants using carbonous fuels.…”

Environmental Impact Assessment Review

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) are procedural tools which have as goal to assess and evaluate possible environmental effects of, respectively, a proposed project or policy plan. The goal of this article is to explore possible bottlenecks in applying both the EIA and SEA procedures on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities in the Netherlands, as experience is currently minimal or lacking. In this study we focus mainly on the institutional and procedural aspects of the screening and scoping phases of both procedures. This is achieved by reviewing EIA and SEA procedures for analogue projects for the three distinctive process steps of a CCS project, namely the power plant with capture, the transport and finally the underground storage of the CO 2 . Additionally, EIA and SEA or similar procedures on CCS in other countries are reviewed and the legal framework for the Dutch EIA and SEA is studied. This article shows a concise overview of the EIA and SEA procedure in the Netherlands and the relation between both procedures. Based on our findings we have constructed a conceptual taxonomy for the scope of both procedures for CCS in the Netherlands. This taxonomy conceptualizes the possible integration of assessing the environmental impacts for tiered levels of decision making. This integration might be needed for first CCS projects as decisions on the strategic (spatial planning) level are currently absent for CCS in the Netherlands. Perpendicular to such integration is the integration of linked activities in the CCS chain and their alternatives, into one procedure. We argue that it would be beneficial to combine the separate EIA procedures for CCS activities into one procedure or at least provide close linkage between them. This issue should be carefully considered by regulators, competent authorities and project initiators in an early
