An experimental and numerical investigation into the impact of dissolution/precipitation mechanisms on CO2 injectivity in the wellbore and far field regions
This paper details the effects of pressure and temperature changes on dissolution/precipitation mechanisms and their impact on CO2 injectivity. Research established the only known relationship defining porosity and permeability changes experienced due to near wellbore salt precipitation during supercritical CO2 injection. Research findings were presented at the 11th Greenhouse Gas Technologies Conference attended by 1,400 delegates in 2012 [http://www.ghgt.info/index.php/Content-GHGT11/session-2-mon-19th.html#1]. This work resulted in further £1.22M of EPSRC funding in a consortium project led by Imperial, investigating wellbore behaviour in collaboration with industry and academia [http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/K035967/1].
