These plugs serve as a barrier that restricts the movement of unwanted fluids to the surface. Therefore, the integrity of the cement plug becomes essential. Thus, this study focuses on the interfacial debonding strength of the cement, which is a crucial parameter that must be quantified to find the integrity of the plug. The methodology used for this testing consisted of the novel apparatus established at the University of Oklahoma to find the debonding strength of the cement. The cement used for these experiments consisted of neat Class G mixed according to the API standard. The samples were cured for seven days in the pipe, which had a diameter of 2″ and a height of 6″. Different test variations were conducted, including thermal cyclic loading, transient, elevated, and room temperature tests. The samples were heated with the help of a thermal jacket, whereas the water for the hydraulic debonding test consisted of room and elevated temperature (95 °C). The experiments found that before the complete debonding of the cement plug, the leakage of water (wetting phase) on the sample surface was observed, which happened at a lower pressure than the interfacial debonding pressure. This wetting phase starts at a low pressure, i.e., around 500 psi, compared to debonding pressure, which mainly was above 1,000 psi. It was also noted that samples exposed to temperature testing (elevated temperature, transient, and cyclic loading) had lower interfacial debonding strength than those tested at room temperature. The final failure mode of these samples was due to the shear debonding, which was facilitated by the development of the microannuli in the testing samples, especially when the cement was exposed to temperature testing. Therefore, care should be taken, and proper calculations should be performed when using the P&amp;A wells that are exposed to high-temperature conditions for the CCS project.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":334,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control","volume":"142 ","pages":"Article 104334"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143369781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the post MW-CLC residue analysis confirms the reduction of the OC to their respective metals i.e., Ni (79.9 wt.%), Cu (78.5 wt.%) and Fe (80.4 wt.%). The integration of the MW-CLC process ensures the production of 51.21 g/s of DMC and 142–215 kW of electricity from the proposed plants.

This study, supported by the regional U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiative, Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership (CUSP), evaluates the potential, progress, challenges, and economics of CCUS in Colorado, USA. We examine carbon capture, transportation, and storage potential in oil and gas reservoirs, saline aquifers, and CO₂-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. Additionally, we conduct an economic analysis and discuss the leakage risks posed by legacy wells, which may impact the safety and security of CO₂ storage. It was found that the nine facilities with the greatest CO₂ emissions in Colorado overlie the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin, and half of these are in the Wattenberg field. The DJ Basin, especially the Wattenberg field, is the top-ranked carbon storage target in Colorado for this reason, as well as because: 1) low-permeability formations (Niobrara and Codell) can be used for enhanced oil recovery, and 2) stacked saline aquifers, such as the Dakota, Entrada, Fountain, Lyons, and Morrison Formations, have a high capacity for carbon storage. Through a refined analysis of the efficiency factor, our study provides more accurate assessments of storage capacity, demonstrating that saline aquifers possess significantly higher carbon storage capacities than oil and gas reservoirs. In the Wattenberg field, simulation studies demonstrate that approximately 18 % of injected CO₂ can be stored over a four-year CO₂-EOR process. Additionally, CO₂-EOR reduces overall CO₂ emissions per barrel of oil by 76 % compared to conventional production methods. Economic analysis indicates that CO₂-EOR is an effective approach to offset the high costs associated with CCUS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":334,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 104301"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143095762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, global carbon emissions due to our surpassing need for energy to generate power for transportation and industrial activities would increase significantly. Despite significant technological advances, global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic activities continues to have a deleterious effect on the climate. Geologic carbon storage provides a sustainable solution for limiting the adverse environmental footprints of anthropogenic activities, as well as for enhanced oil recovery and providing raw materials for industrial products. The high storage potential of depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and saline aquifers can provide an abode for captured greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. This research focuses on delineating potential geologic sites for carbon storage at the Mississippi Canyon block 118 (MC-118) field on the northern slope of the Gulf of Mexico. This site is located on a passive margin that is significantly influenced by salt tectonics and slope failure. Furthermore, salt tectonics controls the basin's geometric architecture resulting in complex faulting and sediment-salt interplays. Hence, MC-118 proves to be a challenging terrain to characterize reservoirs for carbon storage. Likewise, estimating the storage capacity of each prospective carbon storage site is of utmost importance. Rock physics modeling and petrophysical characterization involving post-stack seismic inversion are employed in estimating reservoir properties such as lithology and porosity. Acoustic impedance, a seismic attribute useful in delineating lithology, was extracted from post-stack seismic inversion modeling. By integrating geophysical characterization and post-stack seismic inversion, suitable sites with ample carbon storage capacity could be delineated and these workflows can be applied at other locations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":334,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 104319"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143095889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to thoroughly characterize the geological and petrophysical attributes of these formations, emphasizing the lithology, thickness, and spatial distribution of porosity and permeability. A regional geocellular model was developed to identify specific areas within the St. Peter Sandstone and Everton Formation with significant CO₂ storage potential. The parameters used to identify these areas include average thickness, porosity, permeability, and brine salinity. The evaluation of the petrophysical logs and core intervals indicate that the St. Peter Sandstone is predominantly characterized by its fine to medium, well-sorted pure quartz sandstone composition, which is notably devoid of clay minerals. Furthermore, the Everton Formation exists locally in southwestern and southern Illinois and has two distinct intervals: the upper dolomite and the lower fine to medium grained, well-sorted quartz sandstone intervals. The Everton sandstone interval in southwest Illinois has reservoir properties similar to the St. Peter Sandstone. Regional variation in porosity and permeability is evident, with high porosity values in the west-central region of Illinois diminishing gradually towards the southern parts of the state. A portion of the regional geocellular model was used as input to dynamic reservoir simulation of CO₂ injection via the Lively Grove 1 well in Washington County, Illinois. A 30-year injection phase and a 50-year post-injection phase were simulated. Dynamic reservoir simulations were performed to assess the long-term viability of securely storing CO₂ within the St. Peter Sandstone and Everton Formation. Preliminary simulation results indicate that over two million metric tonnes of CO₂ can be securely injected annually into the St. Peter Sandstone and Everton Formation via a single well, thereby underscoring the practical implications of the study's findings for effective CO₂ management. Significantly, the study identifies the west-central part of Illinois as a highly suitable location for CO₂ storage within these formations. This insight is instrumental for developing targeted CO₂ storage strategies in the Illinois Basin, contributing to broader carbon mitigation efforts worldwide. The research emphasizes the role of geological storage in lowering atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, marking a critical step forward in combating climate change.
