An integrated study of CO2-based CSI process and CO2 saline aquifers geo-sequestration

CO2 geo-sequestration is an efficient approach to reduce CO2 emission and achieve zero carbon emission with minimum impact on economic growth and people’s wellbeing. This project focus on optimizing carbon utilization in heavy oil reservoirs and CO2 geo-sequestration in the underline saline aquaifer with three key objectives: optimizing CO2 injection in heavy oil reservoir to enhance oil recovery, understanding the behavior of injected CO2 interacting with formation brine and aquifer rock, and modeling the non-isothermal behavior during CO2 injection process. The findings from this study will provide solid foundations for further CCUS study.
