Three-phase equilibrium calculations for water-CO2-hydrocarbon mixtures are required in the compositional simulation of various applications in CO2 storage, geothermal systems, and enhanced oil recovery. The very low solubility of hydrocarbon components in water leads to a specia ...

SPE11

Convergence Study and Extension to Realistic Physics

The SPE11 comparative solution project presents a benchmark for geological carbon storage in an aquifer, as the development of sufficiently accurate CO2 sequestration models is critical for predicting the distribution of CO2 during and after injection. In th ...
In this work, we present a thermal-compositional simulation framework for modelling of CO2 sequestration in de- pleted hydrocarbon reservoirs. The parametrization technique utilizes thermodynamic state-dependent operators expressing the governing equations for the ther ...
In this study, we conduct a comprehensive history matching study for the FluidFlower benchmark model. This benchmark was prepared and organized by the University of Bergen, the University of Stuttgart, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for promoting understanding of the ...
The open Delft Advanced Research Terra Simulator (open-DARTS) framework is an open-source reservoir simulation software. The open-DARTS focused on energy transition applications, such as geothermal energy production and carbon sequestration. It enables the modeling of composition ...
In this work, we present a unified framework for the simulation of CO2 sequestration problems at various time and space scales. The parametrization technique utilizes thermodynamic state-dependent operators expressing the governing equations for the thermal-composition ...
Successful deployment of geological carbon storage (GCS) requires an extensive use of reservoir simulators for screening, ranking and optimization of storage sites. However, the time scales of GCS are such that no sufficient long-term data is available yet to validate the simulat ...

FluidFlower Benchmark

Lessons Learned from the Perspective of Subsurface Simulation

In this work, we describe our decisions made to perform the FluidFlower simulation study and discuss various aspects of the benchmark that are different from our usual subsurface simulation practice. We will discuss the impact of various modeling choices on the outcomes of the si ...
During injection of supercritical CO2 into saline aquifers or depleted gas reservoirs, the complex interaction of CO2 and impurities with reservoir fluids plays a very important role and can significantly alternate the injectivity. Brine evaporation into the CO2-rich phase can le ...
