Reservoir Characterization for CO2Sequestration: Assessing the Potential of the Devonian Carbonate Nisku Formation of Central Alberta

Abstract: Résumé -Caractérisation de réservoir en vue du stockage géologique de CO 2 : évaluation du potentiel offert par les carbonates dévoniens de la formation de Nisku, en Alberta centralPlusieurs gros émetteurs de CO 2 , totalisant 30 Mt annuels, sont localisés dans la région du Lac Wabamun, au centre de l'Alberta (Canada). Des études antérieures ont montré le potentiel offert par les aquifères salins profonds de la région pour le stockage géologique de ce gaz et le présent article rend compte d'une caractérisation… Show more

“…These rocks were selected as representative model carbonates for carbon storage activities in carbonate formations in the Alberta Basin of Western Canada, which is a proposed high intensity storage site [3]. Physical samples from this region could not be obtained due to property and licensing rights, so Indiana Limestone and Pink Dolomite were chosen to approximate porosity and permeability conditions identified for sequestration in the Alberta basin [20]. All core samples were obtained from Kocurek Industries (Caldwell, TX, USA).…”

“…Since dolomites form geologically under similar conditions to limestones, dolomites are of interest for CO 2 capture and storage projects. Indiana Limestone and Pink Dolomite reasonably represent the porosity and permeability conditions identified for sequestration in the Alberta basin [20] and can be taken as representative model carbonates.…”

“…Injecting carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into oil fields is one of the most valuable methods for the geological storage and enhancement oil recovery (EOR) of CO 2 in order to decrease anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere and utilize the petroleum resources effectively (Algharaib and Al-Soof, 2009 [1]; Eisinger and Jensen, 2011 [2]; Kechut et al, 2011[3]; Kovscek, 2002[4]; Kumar et al, 2008[5]; Qi et al, 2010[6]; Yamamoto and Doughty, 2011 [7]). CO 2 as an oil-flooding agent for EOR has been used for many years (Shen and Huang, 2009[8]).…”
