“…), which -in most of the cases (not always) -are made of some form of steel that have metallic alloy elements, i.e. chromium [5]. A CO 2 injector well can suffer corrosion in every component, from the wellhead to the downhole completion components and, therefore, to achieve large success in the CO 2 storage project, the wells must bear the highest impact of corrosion [2]; thus, to know how to resist corrosion, it is necessary to know how it attacks.…”

“…According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2007), to have success in CO 2 storage, capacity, injectivity and confinement are required; therefore, well stability is really important, and due to some leakage, a path could be created through the well. Hence, to guarantee the wellbore integrity, some authors have established a lifetime of 1000 years [4][5][6][7]. CO 2 is injected in the supercritical condition (>31 °C and 7.38 MPa and stored deeper than 800 m) [2] and reacts with the steel and cement, bringing about damages.…”

The world energy demand has become higher with the growing population, which has translated into an increase in emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. For this reason, CO2 capture and storage has been undertaken to purify the atmosphere. For storing this CO2, it is necessary to have wells to inject it (deeper than 800 m); moreover, these wells need to have stability over time, and one of the stability aspects is the protection of steel against corrosion. Considering this aspect, the most common steels (focussed on American Petroleum Institute [API] steels) that can be used in an injector well were studied. The best performance was obtained using a high alloy content of Cr and Ni. Furthermore, the most important parameter analysed when corrosion is studied is the test time, which was modelled to stabilise the corrosion rates. The experiments were undertaken after a general review of different studies that investigated the corrosion of steel when in contact with CO2 in the vapour phase and under supercritical conditions.

“…Accordingly, the sealing integrity of the tubing should be ensured [7]. The main reasons for the sealing failure of tubing premium connection are not only the structural design and material selection to meet the operating conditions, but also the processing and manufacturing of tubing, transportation, and the quality of tubing makeup [8][9][10][11][12]. In general, the combined effects of the above-described uncertainties constitute a potential leakage risk [13].…”

The magnitude and distribution of contact stress on the metal-to-metal seal interface of premium connection has been confirmed as a direct factor of the sealing integrity. In this study, the method of evaluating sealability by measuring contact stress on metal-to-metal seals with the ultrasonic phased array is investigated. A loading system and ultrasonic phased array measurement system of cone-cone contact samples were created. The recommended detection method is focusing -deflection, and the time compensation method is suggested to extract the reflected wave peak of the sealing surface. The experiments show that the reflected wave peak declines with the rise of the axial load, with the big end showing the most noticeable reduction. The shift in the reflected wave peak also reflects the axial movement of the contact interface. The contact stress is calculated according to the reflection coefficient and compared with the simulation results. The distribution trend of contact stress is consistent. The sealing index measurement error is less than 15%, and the measurement error is decreased with the decrease of the sealing surface angle. Then, the nephogram of contact stress distribution on the sealing surface is formed to visualize the contact stress, which takes on great significance in engineering.

Strategies for Evaluation of the CO2 Miscible Flooding Process

Field experience has shown that CO2 miscible flooding is an effective means to improve oil recovery. To evaluate whether a CO2 miscible flood is suitable for a given field and the development of the optimal design requires considerable investigation and tests prior to a field-scale implementation. This paper proffers some guidelines for using a CO2 miscible flooding operation so that the feasibility and profit can be optimized. The guidelines for evaluating whether a CO2 miscible flood is suitable for a given field are developed and the procedure for a full implementation is summarized. These guidelines cover primary screening, laboratory measurements, reservoir simulation, economic analysis, pilot testing, and field application. Detailed methods also are presented for the optimization, well pattern and spacing preparation, and slug and injection process design. The work offers reservoir engineers a reference for decision-making in CO2 miscible flooding.
