Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Hydrocarbon Recovery, CO2 Geological Storage processes estimation based on 3d hydrodynamic modeling

The particularly important goals faced in the world oil and gas sector is the increasing hydrocarbon production and net zero carbon emissions. Achieving climate neutrality means balancing emissions in such a way that the entry of CO2 into the atmosphere is prevented by its absorption, further utilization and storage. The Enhanced HC Recovery methods and CO2 Utilization/Storage technologies are the suitable ways to get these tasks done and 3d hydrodynamic modeling is the effective method to evaluate the processes of carbon dioxide injection in depleted oil/gas fields or saline aquifers, shrink risks and increase economy effectiveness. Canada has really large potential in this way, counting its natural reservoirs and the research done can be implemented on the existing deposits. It`s proposed to analyze the CCUS and CO2 EHCR technologies using the 3d synthetic field model based on real data that opens the window of opportunities to use them further for real geological and technological modeling and implement researches on real deposits. The proposed reservoir engineering modeling project is highly useful to estimate the CO2 volumes utilized/sequestered into the deposit, evaluate the HC production increasing and to manege chosen field development plan….
