The influence of carbon sequestration in rocks on the change in filtration and mechanical characteristics of the reservoir during additional oil reserve recovery

Abstract


CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) is becoming a key technology for achieving a significant reduction in global carbon emissions over the next century, which is why the issues of carbon sequestration in natural porous media have recently received increasing attention in the scientific community. Foreign scientists have obtained some laboratory developments, and carbon sequestration projects have already been implemented in a number of countries. For Russia, carbon sequestration in porous geological media is promising due to the significant potential of underground CO2 storage tanks, the possibility of using CO2 to enhance oil recovery, as well as the developed infrastructure of oil and gas fields. The Volga-Ural oil and gas province may become one of the promising regions for the creation of a CCUS cluster due to a combination of such factors on the territory as a significant number of CO2-emitting enterprises and a huge number of oil and gas traps potentially suitable for the use of enhanced oil recovery methods and / or CO2 disposal. The article discusses the principles of carbon sequestration in reservoir rocks, the main mechanisms of capture that operate when CO2 enters a geological repository; it is shown that research in the field of underground CO2 storage is aimed at reducing the uncertainty in the efficiency of CO2 storage in rocks, however, the effect of CO2 on natural porous media is currently poorly understood. Laboratory studies are required, followed by the development of mathematical models of the rocks interaction with various carbon gases types to develop recommendations for optimal modes of carbon injection into the reservoir for the purpose of additional oil recovery in the short term and carbon absorption by the rock and its storage in the long term.
