However, methods designed for conventional systems are not directly applicable to shale due to multiscale heterogeneity and ultra-low permeability. Accordingly, we propose a multiscale, multicomponent numerical model to evaluate the performance of the injection process and carbon storage capacity through cyclic CO<sub>2</sub> injection, explicitly accounting for non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The shale reservoir is represented as a multiscale porous medium consisting of nanopores, macropores, and micro-fractures. Distinct transport and thermodynamic models are applied within each continuum, and non-equilibrium mass transfer between continua is modeled based on the multiple interacting continua approach. Results demonstrate that using a single-scale model may lead to underestimation of the performance of the injection process and its storage potential. Cyclic CO<sub>2</sub> injection enables additional hydrocarbon extraction from macropores and nanopores, thereby creating more pore space for CO<sub>2</sub> storage than direct CO<sub>2</sub> injection into depleted shale reservoirs. Furthermore, CO<sub>2</sub> diffusion from macropores to nanopores persists for more than a century after injection. A case study of a cyclic gas injection well in the Eagle Ford Shale estimates the total CO<sub>2</sub> storage capacity of an individual shale oil well to be approximately 0.22 million metric tons, a value lower than those observed in shale gas reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. Nonetheless, CO<sub>2</sub> storage in shale oil reservoirs remains attractive due to the significant oil recovery enhancement it provides, which can help offset the capital costs of CO<sub>2</sub> capture, transportation, and injection infrastructure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":334,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 104592"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146076723","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}

Laboratory core-flooding experiments are routinely conducted to characterize relative permeability, capillary pressure, and residual trapping for input into field-scale models. Steady-state co-injection is typically used to determine these properties because it yields stable flow conditions and suppresses capillary end effects. However, the extent to which experimental methodology influences the resulting petrophysical parameters remains insufficiently quantified. This study provides a direct comparison between co-injection and single phase injection methodologies for a carbonate rock, examining their impact on trapping efficiency, and the pressure differential used to compute relative permeability. Substantial differences were observed in the trapping efficiency and the influence of heterogeneity on the results for the different injection methods. These findings indicate that experimental methodology influences the flow phenomena observed. Recognizing and quantifying these methodological artefacts offers new opportunities to refine laboratory protocols and to more accurately translate core-scale measurements to field conditions. Moreover, differences between injection strategies may be intentionally leveraged in reservoir operations to enhance residual trapping.

Both anticlines are shaped as pop-up detachment folds, creating separate 3D structural closures at the Permian–Triassic reservoir level. They are bounded by a pair of oppositely-verging, late-stage, high-angle (∼50°) thrust faults, rooted in the Ediacaran–Lower Cambrian Salt basal detachment and cut only the flanks, without affecting the reservoir trap. The Halegan anticline maintains a harmonic geometry throughout the sedimentary cover, while the Chamnuri detachment anticline is particularly complex due to decoupling across the Triassic evaporites. A horizontal shift of the Permian–Triassic reservoir crest relative to the surficial levels likely caused the out-of-trap drilling and failure of the Chamnuri-1 gas exploration well. Such geometrical variations should be modeled in three dimensions and considered when planning future exploration or injection wells. We identify this well as a promising candidate for reusing as a geological CO₂ storage site due to its favorable logistical and geological conditions, including existing well infrastructure, proximity to major emission sources, permeable deep reservoir, thick Triassic evaporite seal, 3D structural closure, the possibility of flank injection, and the absence of transmissive faults through the crest.
