Aquifer disposal of CO2: Hydrodynamic and mineral trapping
TL;DR: A general approach to evaluating sedimentary basins for CO2 disposal is presented in this paper, exemplified for the case of the Alberta Basin in western Canada where a wealth of geological and hydrogeological data from more than 150,000 wells drilled by the oil industry allows for a proper estimate of the basin potential for long-term storage of CO2 captured from fossil-fuelled power plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas-water-rock interactions in Frio Formation following CO2 injection: Implications for the storage of greenhouse gases in sedimentary basins
Yousif K. Kharaka,David R. Cole,Susan D. Hovorka,William D. Gunter,Kevin G. Knauss,Barry Freifeld +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, 1600 t of CO2 were injected at 1500 m depth into a 24m-thick sandstone section of the Frio Formation, a regional brine and oil reservoir in the U.S Gulf Coast.

Process for recovering methane and/or sequestering fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that even though the absolute permeability of the coal bed decreases with continued SAG sorption, the SAG injectivity, surprisingly and unexpectedly, increases while injecting SAG at pressures greater than reservoir pressure, but less than fracture pressure or fracture extension pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aquifer disposal of CO2-rich gases: Reaction design for added capacity
TL;DR: In this article, changes to the mineralogy and water chemistry of both brackish and briney waters in carbonate and siliciclastic aquifers in this area as a result of the injection of CO2 were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep coalbed methane in Alberta, Canada: A fuel resource with the potential of zero greenhouse gas emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass balance argument, based on a 2 to 1 coal-sorption selectivity for CO2 over CH4, supports the feasibility of building and operating fossil-fuelled green power plants.
