Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stacked storage systems are a viable carbon management operation, especially in regions with potential growth in CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Under a carbon constrained environment, the industrial Texas Gulf Coast is an ideal area for development of stacked storage operations, with a characteristically high CO2 intensity and abundance of aging oil fields. The development of EOR along the Texas Gulf Coast is limited by CO2 supply constraints. A stacked storage system is implemented with an EOR project to manage the temporal differences between the operation of a coal-fired power plant and EOR production. Currently, most EOR operations produce natural CO2 from geologic formations. A switch to anthropogenic CO2 sources would require an EOR operator to handle volumes of CO2 beyond EOR usage. The use of CO2 in an EOR operation is controlled and managed to maximize oil production, but increasing injection rates to handle the volume of CO2 captured from a coal plant can decrease oil production efficiency. With stacked storage operations, a CO2 storage reservoir is implemented with an EOR project to maintain injection capacity equivalent to a coal plant's emissions under a carbon constrained environment. By adding a CO2 storage operation, revenue can still be generated from EOR production, but it is considerably less than just operating an EOR project. The challenge for an efficient stacked storage project is to optimize oil production and maximize profits, while minimizing the revenue reduction of pure carbon sequestration. There is an abundance of saline aquifers along the Texas Gulf Coast, including the Wilcox, Vicksburg, and Miocene formations. To make a stacked storage system more viable and reduce storage costs, maximizing injectivity is critical, as storage formations are evaluated on a cost-per-ton injected basis. This cost-per-ton injected criteria, also established as injection efficiency, incorporates reservoir injectivity and depth dependant drilling costs to determine the most effective storage formation to incorporate with an EOR project. With regionally adequate depth to maximize injectivity while maintaining reasonable drilling costs, the Vicksburg formation is typically the preferred storage reservoir in a stacked storage system along the Texas Gulf Coast. Of the eleven oil fields analyzed on a net present value basis, the Hastings field has the greatest potential for both EOR and stacked storage operations.
Book Synopsis The Role of Methane in Limiting CO2 EOR by : Prisca Chinwendu Ogbuabuo
Download or read book The Role of Methane in Limiting CO2 EOR written by Prisca Chinwendu Ogbuabuo and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data from the US Department of Interior - Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management - 2012 Offshore Gulf of Mexico Atlas were analyzed to: (i) compute reconnaissance-level estimates of CO2 volumes for storage in sub-seabed offshore Gulf of Mexico (GoM) oil sands before and after carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR), (ii) investigative technical and economic impacts of CO2 injection in gas-rich offshore GoM hydrocarbon fields, and (iii) analyze legal issues and framework associated with offshore geologic sequestration or storage (GS). Part (i) of this study, Reconnaissance-level estimation of CO2 sub-seabed GS potential in offshore GoM, builds on a similar study conducted by The University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology on potential onshore CO2 GS in the GoM region, published in Nunez-Lopez et al. (2008). Part (ii) focuses on the use of two screening methodologies to investigate the impact of native methane (CH4) in recycled CO2. The impact of CH4 on the effectiveness of CO2 as a solvent for EOR is defined by: Calculating minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) of pure CO2 for each oil sand (conventional oil reservoirs), Computing impure CO2 MMP for each oil sand considering only native CH4 as an impurity and neglecting other trace gas components in the oil reservoir. Five to 50 mole percent CH4 impurity factor was computed as a function of the pseudocritical temperature (T[subscript pc]) of the CH4-CO2 mixture. Plotting miscibility against sub-seabed depth, total depth, play type, and API gravity. Part (iii) analyzes existing US outer continental shelf (OCS) regulations under the authority of the US Department of the Interior stated in Title 30 CFR Part 250 and Part 550 to determine their applicability to carbon capture, offshore GS, and CO2 EOR. The study results show a potential storage capacity of approximately 3.5 billion metric tons of CO2 after CO2 EOR for the 3,598 offshore GoM individual oil sands assessed in Part (i). For Part (ii), results indicate that deeper reservoirs are most tolerant to miscible impure CO2 EOR. Of the play types defined by the BOEM, fan and fold belt plays are most tolerant to impure CO2 flooding. Further study on the impact of impure CO2 on MMP resulted in a definition of 18 mole percent as the cutoff for economic and technically viable CO2 flooding in offshore GoM oil fields. When a hypothetical CO2 injection stream exceeded 18 mole percent CH4 contamination, 72% of the case study oil reservoirs became immiscible. In Part (iii), policies that address offshore CO2 GS, CO2 EOR, and both price based and non-price based mechanisms in the OCS would accelerate a shift towards implementing GS and CO2 EOR in offshore GoM.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon dioxide flooding in viscous oil systems has been proven to improve oil recovery and store CO2 in several geologic basins worldwide. With global energy steadily transitioning towards decarbonization, CO2-EOR and Sequestration can reduce the carbon footprint from crude oil production. Although well accepted globally, the potential of improved oil recovery and CO2 storage capacity has not been extensively studied in Alaska. Since the CO2 injection process involves phase transition, reservoir simulation becomes more complex. It requires reliable techniques to estimate the ultimate recovery factor, oil production rate, and CO2 storage volumes precisely. This study focuses on carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) and storage in the Orion satellite field of Alaska, its ability to reduce greenhouse gases, and the technical and economic feasibility of a CO2 flooding project. In this study, the Peng-Robinson equation of state is tuned to model fluid behavior from the respective sands accurately. Core flooding results from the Orion Oil Pool in the Schrader Bluff Formation provided the basis for developing relative permeability curves for the various layers in the geological model. The geological model was then coupled with the developed fluid model and introduced into a compositional simulator capable of handling the heterogeneous complexity to simulate CO2 injection. Simulations suggested that the CO2 gas injection is partially miscible in the Orion reservoir at pressures close to the average initial reservoir pressure. Consequently, CO2 mixes with oil in the reservoir, reduces oil viscosity, increases oil mobility, and improves oil recovery. Different simulation scenarios were considered and compared, including the effects of fluid injection mixtures on oil recovery, well trajectory effects, and production bottom hole pressure effects on oil recovery. A considerable volume of injected CO2 is expected to be sequestered in the reservoir, for which economic analysis is conducted for tax credit purposes. The results show that 40% Enriched CO2 injection achieved the highest oil recovery, which highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate injector and producer well trajectory. This work provides insights into the optimum CO2 gas flooding controlling parameters for incremental oil production through sensitivity analysis. The study's novelty is further expanded by quantifying the potential of CO2 sequestration in each layer of the Orion oil field.

Book Synopsis Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Carbon Dioxide in the European Energy System by :
Download or read book Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Carbon Dioxide in the European Energy System written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enhanced oil recovery using carbon dioxide (CO2-EOR) is a method that can increase oil production beyond what is typically achievable using conventional recovery methods by injecting, and hence storing, carbon dioxide (CO2) in the oil reservoir. At present there are no applications of CO2-EOR in Europe, although the technique has been commercialised elsewhere. Major barriers include the availability of low cost CO2 and the high capital and operating costs. This report indicates that the maximum technical potential for increased oil recovery is significant, a significant fraction of the existing reserves. On the other hand, the CO2 storage capacity is relatively small, when compared to the level of the GHG emissions in the EU. A detailed economic analysis suggests that at the oil prices of today and with a financial incentive for CO2 storage, a number of CO2-EOR operations could be viable in the North Sea. These projects can contribute to the improvement of the European security of supply by increasing indigenous oil production, and assist in the reduction of GHG emissions and catalyse the development of decarbonised energy conversion technologies by providing the means for safe and permanent storage of CO2.

Book Synopsis Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery from the Citronelle Oil Field and Carbon Sequestration in the Donovan Sand, Southwest Alabama by : Konstantinos Theodorou
Download or read book Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery from the Citronelle Oil Field and Carbon Sequestration in the Donovan Sand, Southwest Alabama written by Konstantinos Theodorou and published by . 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.
