Description

Carbon capture and sequestration has become an essential technology for addressing the mitigation of global warming and adverse climate change due to increasing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion worldwide. However, the scientific/engineering community still lacks thorough and practical knowledge about various types of reservoirs capable of effective long-term CO2 sequestration. Introduction to Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Various Types of Reservoirs pulls together the relevant basic scientific knowledge and applications to help reservoir engineering practitioners learn and utilize the potential of CO2 sequestration in saline, oil, gas, shale, basalt, and geothermal reservoirs. After presenting the fundamental properties of various reservoirs, the authors describe each type of reservoir and explain basic parameters, benchmark cases, experimental data, optimization strategies for CO2 sequestration, prospects, and outlook. Rounding out the text with a glossary and consideration of future developments, this book delivers the necessary tools for engineers to better understand carbon sequestration and advance the energy transition.
