The Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership: developing CO2 sequestration opportunities for the central interior of North America

Field‐scale reactive transport assessment of CO2 storage in the Farnsworth unit through enhanced oil recovery practices

“…7,8 Once CO 2 is injected into these environments, its fate is controlled by various processes, including partial dissolution into the existing pore fluids, transport by advection of the existing pore fluids and a separate immiscible CO 2 gas phase, and chemical reactions with other solutes in the pore fluids and with minerals in the host rock [9][10][11] -. These processes in saline aquifers and petroleum reservoirs have been evaluated in numerous studies, 6,10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] -and their general characteristics are now well understood. However, individual field sites have their own unique characteristics that can lead to significant variances in the fate of injected CO 2 , thus necessitating ongoing studies of individual field sites like the present study of the Farnsworth unit (FWU).…”
