A benchmark study on problems related to CO2 storage in geologic formations : summary and discussion of the results
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: This paper summarises the results of a benchmark study that compares a number of mathematical and numerical models applied to specific problems in the context of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage in geologic formations. The processes modelled comprise advective multiphase flow, compositional effects due to dissolution of CO2 into the ambient brine, and non-isothermal effects due to temperature gradients and the Joule-Thompson effect. The problems deal with leakage through a leaky well, methane recovery enhanced by CO2 injection, and a reservoir-scale injection scenario into a heterogeneous formation. We give a description of the benchmark problems, then briefly introduce the participating codes, and finally present and discuss the results of the benchmark study.
