Analytical methods for the monitoring of post-combustion CO2 capture process using amine solvents: A review
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.03.014 2018-04-05 Post-combustion CO2 capture is considered to be the most promising technology to limit the CO2 emissions from existing fossil fuel power plants. One of the main problems associated with the CO2 capture process is the degradation of amine solvents, which can n... |

Seismic and strain detection of heterogeneous spatial distribution of CO2 in high- permeable sandstone
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.03.005 2018-03-23 In this study, we attempt to clarify the heterogeneous CO2 distribution in homogeneous and high-permeability porous sandstone (Mt. Simon sandstone: 105 mD) using both physical rock experiments and fluid mechanical analyses. In particular, the experiments invo... |

CO2 storage in depleted oil and gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.02.022 2018-03-20 Depleted oil and gas reservoirs are one of the prime-candidate formations for geologic CO2 storage. Although both the geological structure and the physical properties of most of them have been extensively studied and characterized, there is limited data on th... |

The impact of gradational contact at the reservoir-seal interface on geological CO2 storage capacity and security
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.03.007 2018-03-19 The implementation of CO2 storage in sub-surface sedimentary formations can involve decision making using relevant numerical modelling. These models are often represented by 2D or 3D grids that show an abrupt boundary between the reservoir and the seal lithol... |

Impact of inner reservoir faults on migration and storage of injected CO2
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.03.006 2018-03-19 CO2 geological storage (CGS) is an effective way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and geological security is one of the most important issues in CGS. The faults distributed in geological formations make multi-layered reservoirs interconnected systems. A ... |

Dynamic flowsheet simulation for chemical looping combustion of methane
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.03.004 2018-03-19 In a Chemical Looping Combustion system, the fuel and air reactors are strongly coupled because of chemical reactions in both and the circulation of solid oxygen carrier between them. To capture the effects inside the system, a novel dynamic flowsheet simulat... |

Analysis of the contribution of CCS to achieve the objectives of Mexico to reduce GHG emissions
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.02.019 2018-03-19 Mexico has a strong commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The electrical and the industrial sectors have been the second and third largest contributors to GHG emissions–excluding fugitive emissions-. This paper analyzes the potential contri... |

Qualitative and quantitative experimental study of convective mixing process during storage of CO2 in heterogeneous saline aquifers
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.02.003 2018-03-19 CO2 dissolution is considered as one of the most promising mechanisms for trapping of free-phase CO2 into brine. It causes an increased density of the brine and initiation of gravitational instability that eventually leads to density-driven natural convection... |

Effect of CO2 phase on its water displacements in a sandstone core sample
10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.01.018 2018-03-19 CO2 injection into underground formations can reduce CO2 emissions, enhance hydrocarbon and methane recovery, and extract geothermal heat. As the pressure and temperature vary in subsurface formations, the injected CO2 can be in gas, liquid and supercritical ... |
