The geological storage of CO2 is gaining momentum as a viable option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach the NetZero goals. This work aimed to produce an initial volumetric estimate of the potential for geological CO2 sequestration in the Algarve basin, in the offshore Portugal, to serve as the cornerstone for further appraisal of …

Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate CO2 storage potential of a small gas field located in Northern Oman using advanced reservoir simulation techniques. The field is to be used for CO2 storage in the future when this reservoir is depleted. The study includes the estimation of structural, residual, solubility and mineral trapping …

Abstract Conventional reservoir modeling practices have proved not to be sufficient to capture the true complexity of reservoir architecture and multiscale heterogeneity which represent serious challenges to production performance. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate various techniques to build realistic reservoir models to improve the accuracy of the waterflood recovery forecast in …

Abstract Assisted history matching is a pivotal process in optimizing reservoirs models through the calibration to observed well and pressure field data. Robust reservoir forecasting is essential for effective asset management and development planning; however, it is significantly impacted by uncertainties inherent in the subsurface. Large uncertainties exist in the underlying geological and simulation inputs …

Abstract Sustainable economic development and environment protection is pivotal for life on earth. Geological storage of increasing emission of CO2 in saline aquifers has huge potential. But saline aquifers are poorly understood due to paucity of data. Known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns are strikingly different in saline aquifers compared to hydrocarbon fields. These uncertainties …
