Carbonation of brine impacted fractionated coal fly ash: implications for CO2 sequestration.
Coal combustion by-products such as fly ash (FA), brine and CO(2) from coal fired power plants have the potential to impact negatively on the environment. FA and brine can contaminate the soil, surface and ground water through leaching of toxic elements present in their matrices while CO(2) has been identified as a green house gas that contributes significantly towards the global warming effect...
متن کاملSelection of optimal microalgae species for CO2 sequestration
CO2 fixation by photoautotrophic algal cultures has the potential to diminish the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, helping alleviate the trend toward global warming. To realize workable biological CO2 fixation systems, selection of optimal microalgae species is vital. The selection of optimal microalgae species depends on specific strategies employed for CO2 sequestration. In this paper, the...
متن کاملCapacity Investigation of Brine-Bearing Sands of the Frio Formation for Geologic Sequestration of CO2
The capacity of fluvial brine-bearing formations to sequester CO2 is investigated using numerical simulations of CO2 injection and storage. Capacity is defined as the volume fraction of the subsurface available for CO2 storage and is conceptualized as a product of factors that account for two-phase flow and transport processes, formation geometry, formation heterogeneity, and formation porosity...
متن کاملOptimal Well Placement Improves Heavy Oil Production
Compared to vertical or lowinclination wells, horizontal wells can deliver higher production rates, higher recovery factors, and more efficient use of steam in thermally enhanced recovery projects for heavy oil. However, the shallow, thin, and friable sand reservoirs in Columbia’s Girasol field present several challenges to the accurate placement of horizontal wells. Schlumberger was contracted...
متن کاملImpact of Effective Pressure on Threshold Pressure of Kazusa Group Mudstones for CO2 Geological Sequestration
During carbon dioxide (CO2) injection process, overpressure within targeted reservoirs might occur because of changes in stress related to the CO2 pressure, which could lead to deformation of the surrounding rocks, including caprocks which are geological formations with low permeability overlying a CO2 storage reservoir. The understanding for impact of effective pressure (i.e., the difference b...
