Summary Accurate prediction of carbon dioxide (CO2) solubility in brine is crucial for the success capture and storage (CCS) by means geological formations like aquifers. This study investigates effectiveness a novel genetic algorithm-mixed effects random forest (GA-MERF) model estimating CO2 brine. The model’s performance compared with established methods group method data handling (GMDH), backpropagation neural networks (BPNN), traditional thermodynamic models. GA-MERF utilizes...

Many researchers have investigated the potential of methane hydrate reservoirs (MHRs) for carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration and (CH4) production through CO2–CH4 replacement method. This technique is not yet commercially implemented due to various limitations, especially economic reasons. study recent advancements in MHRs potentiality CO2 or mixed gas exchange injection while recovering CH4. From experiments, modeling, simulations, one pilot test conducted, it was found that there a great...

CO2-enhanced coalbed methane (CO2-ECBM) technology helps to store CO2 while producing a clean source of energy (CH4) through the sorption process. This technique can sequester much at low temperatures and pressures recovering CH4, which will help offset associated costs, such as capturing injection gases, drilling completion infrastructure, compression, expenses. review paper critically analyzes sequestration potentiality in deep unmineable coal seams. The results revealed that, despite...

Abstract The saline aquifer is the most reliable place where anthropogenic carbon dioxide gas storage has shown a promising future. This paper evaluates and predicts capacities of different trapping mechanisms in storing low porosity permeability deep aquifers by using commercial reservoir simulator software i.e., Computer modeling group (CMG). Four modeled simulated were structural or stratigraphic mechanisms, residual solubility mineral mechanisms. Carbon was injected into for 15 years,...

Lower Silurian Longmaxi and Upper Ordovician Wufeng shales are gas-producing formations. These formations have ultralow porosity permeability in the southeastern Sichuan Basin normal formation pressures with pressure coefficients of less than 1.2. Hydraulic fracturing has been proven as best development strategy to produce gas. But choosing hydraulic fracture treatment parameters becomes challenging due strong reservoir heterogeneity, significant horizontal stress contrast high situ this...
