| Resumen | Transcripción del resumen del autor: Cold mixed CO2/water injection into hot-water reservoirs can be used for simultaneous geothermal-energy (heat) production and subsurface CO2 storage. This paper studies this process in a 2D geothermal homogeneous reservoir, a layered reservoir, and a heterogeneous reservoir represented by a stochastic-random field. We give a set of simulations for a variety of CO2/water-injection ratios. In this process, often regions of two-phase flow are connected to regions of single-phase flow. Different systems of equations apply for single-phase and two-phase regions. We develop a solution approach, called the nonisothermal-negative-saturation (NegSat) solution approach, to solve efficiently nonisothermal compositional flow problems (e.g., CO2/water injection into geothermal reservoirs) that involve phase appearance, phase disappearance, and phase transitions. The advantage of this solution approach is that it circumvents using different equations for single-phase and two-phase regions and the ensuing unstable switching procedure. In the NegSat approach, a single-phase multicomponent fluid is replaced by an equivalent fictitious two-phase fluid with specific properties. The equivalent properties are such that the extended saturation of a fictitious gas is negative in the single-phase aqueous region. We discuss the salient features of the simulations in detail. When two phases are present at the injection side, heterogeneity and layering lead to more CO2 storage compared with the homogeneous case because of capillary trapping. In addition, layering avoids movement of the CO2 to the upper part of the reservoir and thus reduces the risk of leakage. Our results also show that heterogeneity and layering change the character of the solution in terms of useful-energy production and CO2 storage. The simulations can be used to construct a plot of the recovered useful energy vs. maximally stored CO2. Increasing the amount of CO2 in the injection mixture leads to bifurcation points at which the character of the solution in terms of energy production and CO2 storage changes. For overall injected-CO2 mole fractions less than 0.04, the result with gravity is the same as the result without gravity. For larger overall injected-CO2 mole fractions, however, the plot without gravity differs from the plot with gravity because of early breakthrough of a supercritical-CO2 tongue near the caprock. The plot of the useful energy (exergy) vs. the CO2-storage capacity in the presence of gravity shows a Z-shape. The top horizontal part represents a branch of high exergy recovery and a relatively lower storage capacity, whereas the bottom part represents a branch of lower exergy recovery and a higher storage capacity. |
