Current Reservoir Simulation News
SCCO2/Brine Injection or WAG Couple With Saltwater-Disposal Wells for Carbon Sequestration
This paper reviews the simultaneous supercritical CO2/brine aquifer injection and water-alternating-gas methods for geologic carbon sequestration and proposes a novel integration with saltwater-disposal wells.
Study Explores Storage of Hydrogen/Natural Gas Mixtures in Underground Gas Repositories
The objective of this study is to numerically investigate system behavior when storing H2/natural gas (CH4) mixtures in aquifer-related underground gas storage, and the effect of gas composition and salinity on energy-recovery efficiency.
Integrated Well-Network-Design Mode Developed for Carbon-Dioxide EOR and Storage
This paper addresses the difficulty in adjusting late-stage production in waterflooded reservoirs and proposes an integrated well-network-design mode for carbon-dioxide enhanced oil recovery and storage.
Fast Predictive Models Developed for Carbon-Dioxide EOR and Storage in Mature Oil Fields
This work presents the development of fast predictive models and optimization methodologies to evaluate the potential of carbon-dioxide EOR and storage operations quickly in mature oil fields.
Deep-Learning Technique Optimizes Sequestration, Oil Production in CCUS Projects
The authors of this paper apply a deep-learning model for multivariate forecasting of oil production and carbon-dioxide-sequestration efficiency across a range of water-alternating-gas scenarios using field data from six legacy carbon-dioxide enhanced-oil-recovery projects.
Workflow Enables Effective Fracture-Geometry Analysis in Eagle Ford
The objective of this paper is to apply a developed workflow to determine the propped hydraulic fracture geometry in a horizontal multistage fractured well, incorporating production, pressure, and strain data.
