Session Description:
To mitigate continued release of CO2 from anthropogenic sources, underground storage of CO2 is accepted as a promising technology. Due to increased concerns on CO2 emissions, there has been foremost importance on the development of safe, technologically feasible and economic geological carbon sequestration (GCS) technology. Geologic sequestration decreases released CO2 into the atmosphere through capturing CO2 from hydrocarbon emissions, transporting compressed CO2 from the source to the field, and injecting and storage of CO2 into the underground formation. The objective of CO2 sequestration is to achieve a more uniform sweep efficiency and more extensive CO2 sweep of the geological formation for a fixed amount of injected CO2. To accomplish this objective, we propose a novel formulation for CO2 sequestration optimization problem to promote uniform distribution of CO2 in geological formation through minimizing the gas saturation differences in grid cells with the same distance from CO2 injection wells.
