Risk Assessment and Remediation Options for Geologic Storage of CO₂

Sally M. Benson, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Geological Storage Risk Assessment. This study by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, USA reports lessons learned from natural gas analogs to the geological storage of CO₂ and highlights a probabilistic methodology that could be used for risk assessment. The report recommends options for risk management, mitigation and remediation.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Risk Assessment for Leakage of CO₂ from Deep Geologic Storage Sites

Prepared by LBNL, on behalf of the CCP

This project was carried out by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and was co-funded by the US Department of Energy. The project developed a coupled framework for HSE risk assessment for geological storage of CO₂. The framework will couple:

(i) geological description of the reservoir, caprock and shallower formations
(ii) simulation of subsurface CO2 migration
(iii) CO2 dispersion over the ground surface and into buildings
(iv) expesures to human and ecological receptors
(v) risk characterization

This framework can be used to assess the risks to plants, humans and other animals, of various leakage and seepage scenarios. Such a risk assessment would normally be carried out prior to the development of a sequenstration project. The project was completed at the end of 2003. This report is an interim report dated January 2003.

Long-term CO₂ Storage Using Petroleum Industry Experience

Reid B. Grigg, New Mexico Petroleum Recovery Research Center

This project by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology studies over 135 reservoirs in the USA into which CO₂ is either being injected, has been injected or will be injected.

The petroleum industry has been injecting CO₂ into geologic formations for about fifty years. Currently, about 2 billion standard cubic feet per day (BCFD) of CO₂ is being injected into geologic formations for the purpose of improving oil recovery (IOR). Though most of the injected CO₂ remains in an oil reservoir, the majority of the floods cannot be considered sequestration/storage projects because the CO₂ source is another geologic formation. However, there are a number of floods, for which the CO₂ source is an industrial by-product. These projects have the capacity to supply over 0.5 BCFD (11 million tons per year).

There is significant experience and knowledge in the industry to separate, compress, transport, inject, and process the quantities of CO₂ that are envisioned for CO₂ sequestration/storage. Improvements will occur as incentives, time and fluid volumes increase. The most important requirement is the provision of incentives to sequester CO₂.

In the short time frame that CO₂ has been injected into geological formations, seals are maintaining their integrity and retaining CO₂ in place. Proven seals perform as expected in retaining CO₂. Monitoring of CO₂ flow in geological formations is critical to verification of sequestration, but technical development is in its infancy.

Corrosion in high pressure CO₂ - Equipment for corrosion studies and water solubility measurements

Institute for Energy Technology, Norway

This project was carried out by the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) in Norway and is co-funded by Norway's Klimatek agency. The objective was to establish a basis for materials selection for CO₂ capture, compression, transportation and injection. This project will be closely coordinated with the CCP Transporation project run by SINTEF and Reinertsen Engineering (SINTEF/Rinertsen project). The sub-goals will be:

To quantify the amount of water that can be dissolved in CO₂-NGL (Max 5%) - mixtures at 50-500 bara and temperatures up to 30°C. The effect of trace elements from the separation process will also be addressed.

To deliver the data needed by the SINTEF/Reinertsen project in the development of the tool (nomogram) to be used for cost effective development of CO₂ transportation systems.

To determine the corrosion rate of carbon, 13%-chormium, and duplex steels in liquid/supercritical CO₂ as function of water content, temperature and pressure and to clarify if it is possible to extend the use of carbon steels with corrosion inhibitors.

Phase 1 of the project was completed in October 2002. This is the Phase 1 report.
