A performance assessment study of the Snohvit CO2 project, where approximately 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 have been injected into a fault segment of the Snohvit field was carried out. Since the start of CO2 injection, the injection well pressure has risen at a rate faster than what is sustainable for a 25-years expected lifetime of the project. An important element of the history matching effort is the incorporation of fluvial facies in the reservoir model to reflect the sedimentary environment in the sandstone Tuaen formation. With the help of 4D seismic analysis, excellent match to both the flowing and shut-in bottom-hole pressure data throughout a 32-months injection period have been obtained. The outcomes of this study suggest that the fluvial depositional environment, together with the fact that the injection well is situated in a fault-segment, have contributed to a significant reduction in the injectivity at F2H.

Geochemical characterization of geothermal systems in western Anatolia (Turkey): implications for CO2 trapping mechanisms in prospective CO2-EGS sites Elidemir, Sanem; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (2018-02-01) Geological storage of CO2 is currently regarded as one of the major strategies to mitigate the increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic emissions from large-scale point sources. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are a novel concept in which CO2 is used as a working fluid to increase energy recovery, combined with its subsurface storage. In this study, the geothermal systems of western Anatolia are considered as potential sites for EGS, and the published hydrogeochemical data rele...
Investigation of Turkey's carbon dioxide problem by numerical modeling Can, Ali; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2006) CO2 emission is very important, because it is responsible for about 60% of the "Greenhouse Effect". The major objectives of this study were to prepare a CO2 emission inventory of Turkey based on districts and provinces by using the fuel consumption data with respect to its sources, to find the CO2 uptake rate of forests in Turkey based on provinces and districts, and to estimate the ground level concentration of CO2 across Turkey using U.S. EPA's ISCLT3 model for the preparation of ground level concentratio...
Sayindere cap rock integrity during possible CO2 sequestration in Turkey Dalkhaa, Chantsalmaa; Okandan, Ender (Elsevier BV; 2011) One way to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere for the mitigation of climate change is to capture the CO2 and inject it into geological formations. The most important public concern about carbon capture and storage (CCS) is whether stored CO2 will leak into groundwater sources and finally into the atmosphere. To prevent the leakage, the possible leakage paths and the mechanisms triggering the paths must be examined and identified. It is known that the leakage paths can be due to CO2 - rock interactio...
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol over supported copper and gallium based catalysts at the atmospheric pressure Osmanağa, Sezer; İpek Torun, Bahar; Önal, Işık; Department of Chemical Engineering (2022-8) The continuous increase of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has been negatively impacting the environment, due to its contribution in the global warming. Hence, it is necessary for the current CO2 valorization techniques to advance in order to make use of CO2. A possible technique is the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and DME. The process of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has been taking place in industry for about a century. However, due to the thermodynamic limitation imposed by the reaction stoichio...
Modification of pebax and zif-8/pebax membranes by additional solvent treatment to improve co2/n2 separation performance Alsuhile, Ala Abdulalem Abdo Moqbel; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Department of Chemical Engineering (2020-9) Capturing carbon dioxide is currently one of the most attractive research areas due to the serious problems that CO2 emission creates for the environment. The main aim of this work is to utilize cheap and environmentally friendly methods with simple synthesizing systems to enhance the separation performance of CO2 from N2 using PEBAX 1657 membranes. Thus, in this study, solvent modification and double-layer methods were used to improve the permeability of carbon dioxide in pure PEBAX 1657 and ZIF-8/PEB...
