Optimum storage depths for structural CO2 trapping

S Iglauer - International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 2018 - Elsevier
Structural trapping is the primary CO 2 geo-storage mechanism, and it has historically been
quantified by CO 2 column heights, which can be permanently immobilized beneath a …

Naturally occurring underpressure–a global review

T Birchall, K Senger, R Swarbrick - Petroleum Geoscience, 2022 - earthdoc.org
Several mechanisms have been suggested as drivers of naturally occurring underpressure.
However, the phenomenon is largely underrepresented in literature. Previous studies have …

Convective dissolution of carbon dioxide in deep saline aquifers: Insights from engineering a high-pressure porous visual cell

S Mahmoodpour, B Rostami, MR Soltanian… - Physical Review …, 2019 - APS
We present the first experiments of dissolution-driven convection of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in
a confined brine-saturated porous medium at high pressures. We designed an alternative …

Convective carbon dioxide dissolution in a closed porous medium at low pressure

B Wen, D Akhbari, L Zhang, MA Hesse - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018 - cambridge.org
Motivated by the persistence of natural carbon dioxide ($\text {CO} _ {2} $) fields, we
investigate the convective dissolution of $\text {CO} _ {2} $ at low pressure (below 1 MPa) in …

Convective carbon dioxide dissolution in a closed porous medium at high-pressure real-gas conditions

B Wen, Z Shi, K Jessen, MA Hesse… - Advances in Water …, 2021 - Elsevier
We combine modeling and measurements to investigate the dynamics of convective carbon
dioxide (CO 2) dissolution in a pressure-volume-temperature cell, extending a recent study …

Rayleigh-Darcy convection with hydrodynamic dispersion

B Wen, KW Chang, MA Hesse - Physical Review Fluids, 2018 - APS
We investigate the effect of hydrodynamic dispersion on convection in porous media by
performing direct numerical simulations (DNS) in a two-dimensional Rayleigh-Darcy …

Episodic fluid venting from sedimentary basins fueled by pressurized mudstones

LM Kearney, RF Katz, CW MacMinn… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - National Acad Sciences
Subsurface sandstone reservoirs sealed by overlying, low-permeability layers provide
capacity for long-term sequestration of anthropogenic waste. Leakage can occur if reservoir …

On moderate-Rayleigh-number convection in an inclined porous layer

B Wen, GP Chini - Fluids, 2019 - mdpi.com
We investigate the flow structure and dynamics of moderate-Rayleigh-number (R a) thermal

Scaling of solutal convection in porous media

Y Liang - 2017 - repositories.lib.utexas.edu
Convective dissolution trapping is an important mechanism for CO₂ mitigation because of
its high security and long-term storage capacity. This process is a problem of solutal …
