Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 25906
Session Description:
Successful geological CO
2 storage is crucial for climate change mitigation. To reduce atmospheric CO
2 emissions, CO
2must be stored securely and permanently once injected underground.
Temperature evolution, salt precipitation and geomechanics could all affect site security, pressure and plume evolution, and trapping efficiency. Coupled modelling of CO2 migration with thermal, geochemical and geomechanical processes is necessary to elucidate these impacts. However this is not straightforward, particularly for geologically realistic, heterogeneous domains including fractures and faults. To complicate matters further, screening and characterisation of potential sites require efficient simulation methods to cope with large parameter uncertainties.
This session focuses on advances in numerical modelling which help assess and improve CO2 storage security. This includes reduced complexity modelling, coupled modelling of CO2 migration with thermal, geochemical and geomechanical processes and improved models for investigating processes which can be manipulated to enhance storage security e.g. geochemical or biological processes (bio-clogging).
