Physico-chemical effects on long-time fluid transport for CO2 geostorage

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    This project aims to develop an efficient multi-scale laboratory-based modelling framework for the analysis ofnonequilibrium transport and reaction processes occurring in CO2 storage scenarios. In a significant technologicaladvance two non-destructive analysis techniques, Xray computed tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance,are combined with pore-scale simulations to address uncertainties in dynamic wettability alteration occurringduring gravity driven convection. Expected outcomes are the in-situ characterisation of solid-surface interactionsand predictions of multi-phase fluid flow. The project benefits the Australian resources sector by improvinginjectivity, storage efficiency and security of supercritical CO2 storage projects.
