“…Moreover, t and that this kind of CCUS scheme could ensure result in negative emissions (Hornafius and Hornafius, 2015). When compared to the conventional oil production, a CCUS framework based on CO2-EOR can ensure up to 71% of emission reduction (Thorne et al, 2020;Azzolina et al, 2017;Abotalib et al, 2016).…”

“…Considering the above, carbon capture use and geological storage (CCUS) is being considered as one of the methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thus applying the methods of optimizing the operation of the different projects of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) by using carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), becoming the tool to improve efficiency and profitability in the production of the hydrocarbons sector. In this way, it contributes responsibly to sustainable development in energy projects [1].…”

At present, it is essential to take actions to minimize CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, and one way to use and exploit it is through the use of carbon dioxide for industry processes, such as enhanced oil recovery. By carrying out carbon capture, geological storage and improving oil recovery by applying the selection criteria to determine suitability for CO2 sequestration in the Llanos Orientales Basin as a tool to improve hydrocarbon production. It would be a first step in the sustainable development of the extractive oil industry in Colombia, which is one of the participants in greenhouse gas releases. The above can be achieved through the application of CO2–EOR processes, which are mainly miscible or immiscible methods. Finally, the importance of identifying existing CO2 sources is highlighted, in order to carry out the application of a CO2–EOR project.

“…Heavy oil is abundant but difficult to exploit. To improve the production of heavy oil reservoirs, some enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods [1,2] have been adopted, such as steam flooding [3], high-pressure nitrogen flooding [4], CO 2 flooding [5], fire flooding [6], microbial technology [7], and so on. Among them, taking the technical advantages of efficient oil displacement, low unit thermal cost, and wide applicability, the fire flooding technology is one of the most effective and promising ways to improve the thermal recovery of heavy-oil resources [8].…”

Evaluation of Prediction Models for the Physical Properties in Fire-Flooding Exhaust Reinjection Process

et al. 2022

The reinjection of the fire-flooding exhaust is a novel disposal process for handling the exhaust produced by the in-situ combustion technology. For reasonable process design and safe operation, it is of great significance to select an optimum property calculation method for the fire-flooding exhaust. However, due to the compositional particularity and the wide range of operating parameters during reinjection, the state equations in predicting the exhaust properties over the wide range of operating parameters have not been studied clearly yet. Hence, this paper investigates the applicability of several commonly-used equations of state, including the Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation, Peng–Robinson equation, Lee–Kesler–Plocker equation, Benedict–Webb–Rubin–Starling equation, and GERG-2008 equations. Employing Aspen Plus software, the gas densities, compressibility factors, volumetric coefficients, and dew points for five exhaust compositions are calculated. In comparison with the experimental data comprehensively, the result indicates that the Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation shows the highest precision over a wide range of temperature and pressure. The mean absolute percentage error for the above four parameters is 3.84%, 5.17%, 5.53%, and 4.33%, respectively. This study provides a reference for the accurate calculation of the physical properties of fire-flooding exhausts when designing and managing a reinjection system of fire-flooding exhaust.
