Investigating Geological Storage of Greenhouse Gases in Southeastern Saskatchewan: The IEA Weyburn CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project
The potential of storing greenhouse gases in geological formations in the northeast portion of the Williston Basin is being investigated by researchers involved in the IEA Weyburn CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project. This project is linked to a CO2 miscible flood EOR program operated by EnCana Corporation in the Weyburn Midale Pool of southeastern Saskatchewan. A major component of the project i...
متن کاملCO2 EOR and Storage in Oil Reservoirs
CO2 EOR and Storage in Oil Reservoirs — CO2 injection into tertiary oil reservoirs has been widely accepted as an effective technique for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and has been used by the oil industry for over 40 years. Concerns over greenhouse gas emissions are leading to the investigation and realisation of its potential as a carbon storage method in recent years. With the right reservoir...
متن کاملInvestigating Sequestration Potential of Carbonate Rocks during Tertiary Recovery from a Billion Barrel Oil Field, Weyburn, Saskatchewan: the Geoscience Framework (IEA Weyburn CO2 Monitoring Project)
Introduction In Western Canada the application of CO2 injection for enhanced, ‘tertiary’ oil recovery is a relatively recent addition to the arsenal available to reservoir engineers. The first successful application of CO2 as a miscible fluid in Western Canada began in 1984 at Joffre Field, a Cretaceous marine siliciclastic reservoir in southern Alberta. A significant portion of the remaining p...
متن کاملComparison of geomechanical deformation induced by megatonne-scale CO2 storage at Sleipner, Weyburn, and In Salah.
Geological storage of CO2 that has been captured at large, point source emitters represents a key potential method for reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, this technology will only be viable if it can be guaranteed that injected CO2 will remain trapped in the subsurface for thousands of years or more. A significant issue for storage security is the geomechanical respon...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
