“…The aquifer and fluid properties of the system (listed in Table 1) are representative of a potential CO 2 storage zone in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. 30,31 The aquifer is homogenous and isotropic with uniform thickness and porosity of 75 m and 0.25, respectively. The absolute horizontal and vertical permeabilities are 4.93 × 10 -13 m 2 , and 4.93 × 10 -15 m 2 , respectively.…”

For large-scale CO 2 geological storage (CGS) in deep saline aquifers, storing maximum possible amounts of CO 2 over the project period is desirable. The ultimate storage capacity of a potential storage site is evidently a function of the static formation characteristics (e.g., formation porosity and thickness). However, it can be dramatically changed by the injectivity variations caused by the dynamic practices utilized during CO 2 injection. Proper management of a CGS project implies operating the injection well at the optimal well operating condition or injection scheme that ensure optimal injectivity and hence improved ultimate storage capacity. Practically, the operating condition of the injection well is partly controlled by the amount of CO 2 supplied by the emission source (e.g., power plant), which results in inevitable fluctuations/shut-downs during the operation. In this work, we investigate the effect of different operating conditions of the injection well on the injectivity and the ultimate storage capacity of the aquifer. With CO 2 injected continuously or intermittently, constant terminal-rate and constant terminal-pressure well operating conditions are studied. Next, we provide a simple net-present value (NPV) analysis to evaluate the economic feasibility of adopting different injection schemes. The results are applied to a synthetic CGS project with injection history to investigate their implications. Finally, we present a sensitivity analysis to test the effect of varying the injection rate, the vertical permeability, and the formation dip angle on the dynamic storage capacity.

“…refs 15−17, or in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, e.g., ref 18. Notably, other authors 19,20 have suggested that CO 2 injection for storage should specifically avoid the proximity of oil and gas exploration, production, and legacy wells. The latter is an especially important consideration for Louisiana, and we have incorporated this into our screening method used to identify candidate storage sites.…”

We present methods and insights for the design of CO 2 capture, transport, and storage systems for industrial facilities with a case study focus on Louisiana. Our analytical framework includes (1) evaluating the scale and concentration of capturable CO 2 emissions at individual facilities for the purpose of estimating the cost of CO 2 capture retrofits that utilize various energy supply sources to meet parasitic demands; (2) screening to identify potential CO 2 storage sites and estimate their capacities, injectivities, and costs; and (3) designing cost-minimized trucking or pipeline infrastructure connecting CO 2 capture plants with storage sites, considering existing land uses, demographics, and a variety of social and environmental justice factors. Estimated levelized costs of capture at Louisiana's 190 industrial facilities range from below $50/tCO 2 to above $500/tCO 2 , depending on facility-specific features. We identified 98 potential storage sites with storage costs ranging from $8 to $17/tCO 2 . We find that in most situations, pipelines are the least-costly mode of CO 2 transport. When industrial facilities in a region share pipelines, aggregate pipeline mileage and average transport costs are dramatically lower than without sharing. Shared pipeline networks designed to avoid disadvantaged communities require right-ofway areas compared to those for networks that transect such communities, but result in 25% higher average per-tonne transport cost.
