Optimization of capillary trapping of CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers, Optimization of capillary trapping of CO₂ sequestration in saline aquifers

Creator:

Harper, Elizabeth J.

Abstract:

Geological carbon sequestration, as a method of atmospheric greenhouse gas reduction, is at the technological forefront of the climate change movement. During sequestration, carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas effluent is captured from coal fired power plants and is injected into a storage saline aquifer or depleted oil reservoir. In an effort...

An investigation into the pore-scale mechanisms of capillary trapping : application to geologic CO₂ sequestration

Creator:

Herring, Anna L.

Abstract:

Geologic CO₂ sequestration is a climate change mitigation strategy that prevents CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere by capturing CO₂ gasses from large point source emissions streams and then pressurizing and pumping the supercritical-state CO₂ into underground geologic storage reservoirs. Once underground, CO₂ is prevented from buoyant migration to the surface...
