Multiphase flow and reactive transport for CO2 storage at multiple scales

Wed, 30/10/2013 - 16:00 to 17:00

Location:

Speaker: 
Dr. Samuel Krevor, Lecturer in the Earth Science & Engineering Department
Affiliation: 
Imperial College
Synopsis: 

The physics of flow and chemical reactions of CO2 in porous reservoir rocks is currently a topic of interest to those involved with CO2 storage and enhanced oil recovery. In this talk I will provide an overview of investigations into the multiphase flow properties and reactive transport properties of the supercritical CO2-brine system in reservoir rocks. In particular I will discuss questions around our current state of knowledge regarding relative permeability, capillary pressure, wetting, residual trapping and our ability to model upscaled reactive processes.
