Book excerpt: Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection is an effective and promising technology for enhanced oil recovery and for reducing anthropogenic gas emissions. In this process, CO2 develops miscibility with the oil under reservoir conditions and leads to additional oil recovery. Proper reservoir characterization has a significant influence on implementing a successful CO2 flood in a reservoir. Computer simulation is an important tool for reservoir characterization and predicting optimal tradeoffs between maximum oil recovery and CO2 storage. This thesis presents the results of reservoir characterization analysis and simulation in Zama Keg River F Pool located in Northern Alberta, Canada, which was selected as a candidate for CO2 injection. This reef has a thick oil column spanned over a small area and two wells drilled on the same side of the reef. Open-hole logs and core analysis data were available for only one of the two wells. Data analyses disclosed a number of challenges that could adversely affect the results of any simulation for predicting the performance of CO2 displacement in this field. These challenges included, but were not limited to, the existence of two no-flow barriers with unknown extensions, lack of other data such as relative permeability, and lack of information on lateral distribution of the reservoir properties. Material balance analysis indicated the maximum oil in place was 4.7 MMSTB with a weak water support. A fully compositional reservoir simulation model was used to improve the understanding of the reservoir characteristics, investigate the potential amount of CO2 stored, and study the effect of CO2 injection on oil recovery using different injection strategies. Effects of different operational parameters on pore scale displacement efficiency and the overall displacement efficiency were studied. These parameters include production and injection rates, injection gas composition, well completion, mode of injection, and the timing of injection. Results of this thsesi show that by using a combination of two vertical injectors and one horizontal producer, maximum incremental oil would be recovered while a large volume of CO2 would be stored, a high net utilization factor was obtained, and maximum NPV was generated as compared to other injection-production schemes.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from stationary sources and injecting it into deep underground geologic formations has been identified as a viable method for reducing carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstones overlain by shales or evaporites, are the preferred formations because their morphology and structure provide pore space, and containment for the long term storage of CO2. Sandstone formations have also served as repositories to migrating hydrocarbons, and are the sites of many oil recovery operations. For many depleted oil reservoirs, secondary waterflooding recovery methods are no longer efficient or economically viable, hence the application of tertiary CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) followed by CO2 storage is an attractive and cost effective business plan. Citronelle Oil Field, located in southwest Alabama, is the largest and longest producing sandstone oil reservoir in the state, having produced more than 170 million barrels of oil from its estimated 500 million barrels of original oil in place, since its discovery in 1955. The field is in the later stages of secondary recovery by waterflooding and daily oil production has declined considerably. The field is comprised of the Upper and Lower Donovan hydrocarbon bearing sandstones, which are separated by the saline-water-bearing sandstones of the Middle Donovan. The Ferry Lake Anhydrite, which overlies the three sections, serves as their caprock. The present work is focused on an investigation of the feasibility of a CO2-EOR project for the Citronelle Oil Field and the use of the Middle Donovan for long term CO2 storage. A set of static calculations, based on estimation methods which were retrieved from publications in the field, was followed by computer simulations using MASTER 3.0, TOUGH2-ECO2N, and TOUGHREACT. Results using MASTER 3.0, for simulation of CO2-EOR, indicated that nearly 50 million barrels of additional oil could be produced by tertiary recovery. Results using TOUGH2-ECO2N and TOUGHREACT, for the simulations of CO2 storage, indicated that 159 million metric tons (175 short tons) of CO2 could be stored in the Middle Donovan formation. An investigation into possible CO2 leakage from the reservoirs indicated that the Ferry Lake Anhydrite serves as a very reliable long term storage seal. The present work can serve as a template for preliminary assessment of tertiary oil recovery and CO2 storage of similar oil reservoirs and saline-water formations.

Book excerpt: 17 p. report presents the results of compositional simulations of CO2 floods of the Monument Butte Northeast unit and the Glen Bench field. This simulation study is a preliminary investigation of the CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) potential. This study attempts to 1) eliminate the post waterflood incremental oil recovery for the two fields using CO2 injection and water-alternating-gas injection, 2) determine CO2 utilization factors and 3) determine the sequestration potential of EOR for the fields.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, the co-optimization of carbon dioxide sequestration and enhanced oil recovery and the co-optimization of carbon dioxide sequestration and methane recovery studies were discussed. Carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere are one of the reasons of global warming and can be decreased by capturing and storing carbon dioxide. Our aim in this study is to maximize the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered to decrease carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere and maximize the oil or methane recovery to increase profit or to make a project profitable. Experimental design and response surface methodology are used to co-optimize the carbon dioxide sequestration and enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide sequestration and methane recovery. At the end of this study, under which circumstances these projects are profitable and under which circumstances carbon dioxide sequestration can be maximized, are given.
