  Well Injectivity Management during Geological Carbon Sequestration Activity

  By R M. Benashor, A. Nourian, G. Nasr, A. J. Abbas

  Abstract: It is well known that the saline aquifer formations are considered very reliable candidates for carbon sequestration because of their wide availability and they have good storage capacity. Due to high formation salinity, there a big concern about bore formation dry-out resulting from the salt precipitation in the form of halite (NaCl). The mutual solubility between CO2 and brine is responsible for creating the salt deposits, this processes may take …

  The Effects of Dissolved Sodium Chloride (NaCl) on Well Injectivity during CO2 Storage into Saline Aquifers

  By R M. Benashor, A. Nourian, G. Nasr, G. C. Enyi

  Abstract: Among different options proposed for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage and sequestration, saline formations seem promising due to their wide availability and potentially large storage capability. As supercritical (SC) CO2 is injected into the formation, a variety of coupled processes takes place. Halite precipitation requires particular interest due to its potentially significant impact on permeability impairment, and thus reduction of injectivity in the near well bore region. The selected candidate for …
