CO2 migration and distribution in multiscale-heterogeneous deep saline aquifers

Large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) captured from carbon emission source can be stored in deep saline aquifers as a mean of mitigating climate change. The deep saline aquifers are naturally heterogeneous at multiple scales. It is important to generate representative multiscale heterogeneous fields...

description Large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) captured from carbon emission source can be stored in deep saline aquifers as a mean of mitigating climate change.

In this work, a new multiscale heterogeneous model with partly fine multi-facies heterogeneous domain is proposed. A method based on transition probability theory is referred to establish a multi-facies model. A new multiscale heterogeneous model with partly fine multi-facies heterogeneous domain is built up according to the categorized permeability data obtained from the Geological Carbon Storage Frio site in USA.
