Download or read book Perspectives to CO2 Geological Storage and Greenhouse Gas Negative Emissions in South Southeastern Brazil written by Raíssa Moreira Lima Mendes Musarra and published by Blucher Open Access. This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest studies of the CNPq Research Group (Estudos para Armazenamento Geológico de Carbono – CCS) of the Institute of Energy and Environment/Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation, at the University of Sao Paulo. The studies are related to the technical and regulatory issues for implementing Carbon, Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies, especially CO2 geological storage in the Paraná and Santos Basins. The parent project, entitled "Carbon Geological Storage in Brazil: "Perspectives for CCS in unconventional petroleum reservoirs of onshore Paraná sedimentary basin and turbidites from offshore sedimentary basins in southeast Brazil", was funded by SHELL and FAPESP. The book intends to provide an overview of the potential for secured long-term CO2 storage in the Paraná and Santos basins with high prospects for CCS. The central academic findings refer to CO2 reservoir properties and main criteria for site selection to improve the Brazilian CCUS development's decision-making process and contribute to the R&D plan for greenhouse gas emissions mitigation of the Southeastern Region, with geological evaluations and regulatory analyses. The book aims to improve the decision-making process in greenhouse gases mitigation and energy/environmental governance; therefore, it captures the specialized and non-specialized audience.

This book was released on 2006-01-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As is now generally accepted mankind’s burning of fossil fuels has resulted in the mass transfer of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, a modification of the delicately-balanced global carbon cycle, and a measurable change in world-wide temperatures and climate. Although not the most powerful greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO) drives climate 2 change due to the enormous volumes of this gas pumped into the atmosphere every day. Produced in almost equal parts by the transportation, industrial and energy-generating sectors, atmospheric CO concentrations have 2 increased by about 50% over the last 300 years, and according to some sources are predicted to increase by up to 200% over pre-industrial levels during the next 100 years. If we are to reverse this trend, in order to prevent significant environmental change in the future, action must be taken immediately. While reduced use of fossil fuels (through conservation, increased efficiency and expanded use of renewable energy sources) must be our ultimate goal, short to medium term solutions are needed which can make an impact today. Various types of CO storage techniques have been proposed to fill this 2 need, with the injection of this gas into deep geological reservoirs being one of the most promising. For example this approach has the potential to become a closed loop system, whereby underground energy resources are brought to surface, their energy extracted (via burning or hydrogen extraction), and the resulting by-products returned to the subsurface.
Download or read book Geologically Storing Carbon written by Peter Cook and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon capture and geological storage (CCS) is presently the only way that we can make deep cuts in emissions from fossil fuel-based, large-scale sources of CO2 such as power stations and industrial plants. But if this technology is to be acceptable to the community, it is essential that it is credibly demonstrated by world-class scientists and engineers in an open and transparent manner at a commercially significant scale. The aim of the Otway Project was to do just this. Geologically Storing Carbon provides a detailed account of the CO2CRC Otway Project, one of the most comprehensive demonstrations of the deep geological storage or geosequestration of carbon dioxide undertaken anywhere. This book of 18 comprehensive chapters written by leading experts in the field is concerned with outstanding science, but it is not just a collection of scientific papers – it is about 'learning by doing'. For example, it explains how the project was organised, managed, funded and constructed, as well as the approach taken to community issues, regulations and approvals. It also describes how to understand the site: Are the rocks mechanically suitable? Will the CO2 leak? Is there enough storage capacity? Is monitoring effective? This is the book for geologists, engineers, regulators, project developers, industry, communities or anyone who wants to better understand how a carbon storage project really 'works'. It is also for people concerned with obtaining an in-depth appreciation of one of the key technology options for decreasing greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere.

Download or read book Methodology for Assessing Transport Properties of Wells Used in the Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide written by Francisco Moreno Tellez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the aspects of climate change is global warming, which can be defined as the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and the oceans and its projected continuation. Scientific understanding of the cause of global warming has been increasing. In its fourth assessment of the relevant scientific literature, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that scientists were more than 90% certain that most of global warming was being caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by human activities. Common GHGs in the Earth's atmosphere include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important anthropogenic GHG that has significant contribution to the climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions come mostly from fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and land use changes such as deforestation. Ways to lessen the environmental impact of fossil fuel combustion technologies, which currently comprise a substantial portion of the planet energy supply, are being evaluated internationally. One promising option is carbon capture and storage (CCS). CCS involves capturing CO2 emissions from large point sources and storing them underground in suitable geological formations. The process of storing CO2 is defined as geological CO2 sequestration or CO2 geo-sequestration. Suitable geological formations include declining oil reservoirs, un-minable coal seams, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and saline formations. Storage options such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for declining oil reservoirs and enhanced coal-bed methane (ECBM) recovery for un-mineable coal seams provide short-term storage opportunities. On the other hand, storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs and deep saline formations can be considered longer-term options. The storage of CO2 is not risk-free, but if it is properly planned, operated and monitored, risk can be reduced substantially. Leakage of stored CO2 from a storage formation may take place due a loss in the structural integrity of the cap rock. This integrity is controlled by two mechanisms, which are geological leakage mechanism and wellbore leakage mechanism. Wellbores provide access to a reservoir and may serve as preferential flow paths by allowing upward migration of injected CO2. This migration, unlike the lateral movement of the CO2 plume in the reservoir, might occur in a very short time frame, on the order of years to tens of years and, in some critical cases, less. This can have potential adverse effects in relation to safety and/or environmental damage, thus posing a risk to the success of CO2 underground disposal. For CO2 storage, the ultimate goal for well-leakage models is to serve as inputs for a certification framework and risk analysis. In order to achieve this goal, there is a need to further investigate a more realistic representation of wellbore element bulk permeability that can differ from element to element within a wellbore system. Researchers have adopted the concept of wellbore lifecycle and recognized its importance in understanding wellbore behavior under different states. However, all of these efforts are scattered and dispersed due to either the various approaches of the study and the multi-disciplinary nature of the problem. In addition, direct measurements of wellbore bulk permeability along well segments are limited and very expensive to obtain. As a result, there is a need to develop a unified method and a conceptual model, which can be used as a practical engineering platform to assess wellbore integrity. A methodology to assess the transport properties of wells is introduced. The methodology presented systematically identifies and estimates the effect of each of the physical and chemical processes responsible for the alteration of the transport properties of wells. Based on the physics involved in these permeability alteration processes, a four-group classification is proposed: geomechanical damage, hydrochemical damage, mud removal, and deterioration damage (cement). These processes can occur during the various phases of a well's life, namely drilling, completion, production, and abandonment. Example of wellbore bulk permeability calculation for a typical 54 -year old vertical well, drilled in the Weyburn oil field in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada, using the proposed methodology is presented. Estimate of permeability is in good agreement with direct measurements conducted as a component of the IEAGHG Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is one of the most concern problems currently because of the increase of the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. CO2, the most important component of greenhouse gases, comes from industries like power generation. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the practical technology to mitigate CO2 especially geological storage. In Thailand, the main potential of geological storage is in the Gulf of Thailand. However, the research on this in Thailand is scarce. Consequently, this work is focusing on the simulation of CO2 geological storage in formations at the Gulf of Thailand. The storage capacity and the fracture pressure have been estimated. Also, the pressure buildup and plume migration have been simulated with various conditions. CO2 injection is used from 1,000-4,000 tons per day with the depth from 2,160 - 2,510 meters and the results are studied for 1-50 years for monitoring period. The results show that CO2 storage in this area has potential with the formation characteristics. Moreover, pressure buildup and plume migration are illustrated for the period of 50 years. This study can contribute as a fundamental knowledge for CO2 storage in an offshore area in Thailand.
