Introduction to Modeling, Simulation and Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Various Types of Reservoirs

Carbon capture and sequestration is an essential solution in the fight against global warming as well as a sizeable contributor to energy production worldwide, but engineers lack practical knowledge on the types of reservoirs capable of CO2 sequestration. Introduction to Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Various Types of Reservoirs pulls together the relevant basics and applications that reservoir engineers need to learn and utilize for CO2 sequestration. After presenting the fundamental properties of reservoirs, the authors describe each type of reservoir and explain basic parameters, benchmark cases, experimental data, optimization strategies, and future outlooks. Rounding out the text with a glossary, this book delivers the necessary tools for engineers to better understand carbon capture and advance the energy transition.
