Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for geo-sequestration of a carbon dioxide includes selection of a target water-laden geological formation with low-permeability interbeds, providing an injection well into the formation and injecting supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2 ) and water or bine into the injection well under conditions of temperature, pressure and density selected to cause the fluid to enter the formation and splinter and/or form immobilized ganglia within the formation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for storing a carbon dioxide in a geologic formation, comprising: injecting supercritical carbon dioxide and water or brine into the geologic formation under conditions of temperature, pressure and density and at an injection rate selected to cause the supercritical carbon dioxide to form ganglia that are immobilized by capillary trapping within the geologic formation. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide and water or brine are alternately injected into the geologic formation. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide and water or brine are mixed before being injected into the geologic formation. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide and water or brine are mixed to form a two phase mixture. 5. A method for storing a carbon dioxide in a geologic formation, comprising: injecting supercritical carbon dioxide and water or brine into the geologic formation under conditions of temperature, pressure and density and at an injection rate selected to cause the supercritical carbon dioxide to form ganglia that are immobilized by capillary trapping within the geologic formation; wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide and water or brine are mixed before being injected into the geologic formation; and wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide and water or brine are mixed to form a two phase mixture.
