Intercomparison of Simulation Codes for Geologic Sequestration of CO2
Karsten Pruess
Research Objectives
Mathematical models and numerical simulation tools play an important role in evaluating the feasibility of CO2 storage in subsurface reservoirs, such as brine aquifers, producing or depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and coalbeds. We have designed and performed a code intercomparison study to explore the capabilities of numerical simulators to accurately and reliably model the important physical and chemical processes that would be taking place in CO2 disposal systems. The overall objective of the study is to document and advance the state of the art in modeling CO2 injection into subsurface reservoirs, and to establish credibility for currently available modeling approaches.
