Study Notes
CO2 Sequestration and Storage Lecture Summary
- Pressure build-up in CO2 accumulation can lead to top-seal failure and leakage if injection rate or CO2 column thickness is too high.
- Capillary pressure in CO2 accumulation is influenced by fluid density contrast and can cause leakage if it matches the capillary threshold pressure of the seal.
- CO2 storage in saline aquifers can transition from structural and stratigraphic trapping to residual, solubility, and mineral trapping over time.
- CO2 migration can be buoyancy-driven, leading to mobile, residual, and dissolved CO2 plumes with potential for trapping and migration arrest by a seal.
- Solubility trapping occurs as CO2 dissolves in formation water and mineral trapping involves the precipitation of new calcite minerals.
- The Sleipner CO2 Storage Project has been sequestering 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year since 1996, with CO2 separated from produced gas and injected into the Utsira formation.
- The Utsira Formation, where CO2 is injected, consists of 200m thick sands capped by mudstone and has been effective in storing CO2 without evidence of leakage.
- Time-lapse seismic sections have shown rapid vertical migration and lateral spreading of the CO2 plume on Sleipner.
- CO2 injection simulation in the Utsira Formation suggests up to 200 million tCO2 injection is possible, with migration and accumulation in surrounding structures over 8000 years.
- Modelling CO2 sequestration in the Garn and Ile formations indicates that about 400 million tons of CO2 can be stored with an acceptable pressure increase using 4 injection wells.
- The Garn and Ile formations are good quality, thick aquifers dipping about 2° towards the shore, suitable for CO2 storage.
- Injection into the Garn and Ile aquifer can yield 8 million tons/year over 50 years, requiring 4 injection wells and resulting in an acceptable pressure increase.
