The large amount of CO2 that can be mitigated by geologic storage had gained interest during the last 15 years. Acceptance of CCS under CDM is still under discussion(IEA, 2008) however there are several pilot or field scale projects and monitoring surveys that are underway which will make the technology better known and resolve the risks involved. This study involves assessment of possible geologic sites for CO2 storage and calculation of CO2 emissions from thermal power plants with capacities > 500 MWe, cement factories, steel industry, sugar factories and refineries in Turkey. In emission calculations IPCC methodology is used. Coupling of sources and sinks resulted in a decision to use the emissions from a cement factory which is about 130 km from the selected oil field, Caylarbasi. The cement factory does not have capture facilities yet, but during modelling it was assumed that CO2 is available at the factory site. According to the results of the model study, during the project life of 20 years, enhanced oil recovery effect of CO2 lasts 8 years and 2 million barrels of oil will be produced and the remaining 12 years are modelled as CO2 storage phase which shows 220 million Sm-3 of CO2 can be stored. The transportation phase was designed with two alternatives, pipeline transport and transport by tankers. Economic evaluation at 100$ / barrel of oil value, it will be possible to produce for 6 years. For the following years during CO2 storage, incentives are necessary to cover operating costs so that project will continue for 20 years. Since the initial investment is already made, only the operational costs must be financed. Natural CO2 field in Dodan is another possibility for geologic storage, the field has already produced 7 billion Sm-3 of CO2 for the Bati Raman EOR project. Total capacity is about 10 billion Sm3. Other possible storage sites are deep saline aquifers, which were encountered in Thrace region, Central Anatolia and South Eastern Turkey and salt caverns of the soda mines. The experience of the Turkish oil industry for use of CO2 in EOR application in Bati Raman field will be utilized if and when such an application is required. required.

Implementation of horizontal well CBM/ECBM technology and the assessment of effective CO2 storage capacity in a Scottish coalfield
Sınayuç, Çağlar; Imrie, Claire E.; Syed, S. Amer; Korre, Anna; Durucan, Sevket (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
In this study the theoretical and effective methane recovery and CO2 storage potential of four coal seams within a well characterised section of a CBM license in Scotland are estimated, considering different horizontal well patterns, the effect of permeability heterogeneity and the composition of the injected fluid. The study concerns the Airth area of the Clackmannan coalfield in the Scottish Midland Valley. The effort on building the static earth model and the history match results of the pre-existing ver...
Assessment of fracture connectivity and potential for CO2 migration through the reservoir and lower caprock at the In Salah storage site
Smith, James; Durucan, Sevket; Korre, Anna; Shi, Ji-Quan; Sınayuç, Çağlar (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
Fractures are thought to strongly affect the flow of CO2 at the In Salah storage site. In the work presented here, fracture networks at In Salah are characterised and modelled to assess percolation. Available fracture data is considered in the context of general characteristics of other fracture networks and this data is then used to model potential realisations of fracture networks within the In Salah reservoir and lower caprock. Horizontal percolation of fracture networks is highly dependent on fracture l...
Multi-media reservoirs depleted by horizontal wells: analysis of pressure behaviours and rate transient accompanied by developing analytical models for flow regimes
Al-Rbeawi, Salam (Inderscience Publishers, 2020-01-01)
This paper focuses on analysing pressure behaviours and rate transient of multi-porous media formations such as carbonate reservoirs depleted by horizontal wells. Several analytical models (pressure transient and rate transient) have been developed using the well-known dual-porosity models for naturally fractured formations and modified for triple-media formations considering the existence of hydraulic fractures. The solutions of these models demonstrate different flow regimes corresponding to different pro...
Measurement of soot surface growth kinetics
Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01)
Surface growth is one of the major steps in the soot formation processes where most of the total mass is formed. Freshly generated soot from an ethylene diffusion flame was sampled and mixed with ethylene in a flow tube at elevated temperatures and using nitrogen as the carrier gas. The changes in the size of the soot particles after hydrocarbon addition were measured using a differential mobility analyzer. These measurements showed a significant mass increase of soot particles as a result of the hydrocarbo...
Estimation of diffuse solar irradiation and its effects on PV power plant production at METU NCC
Kavas, Genco; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-8)
Excess amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is the main reason of global warming. Renewable energy systems are one possible way to decrease GHG emission and solar energy is one of options; however, fluctuations on solar energy production is one of the main drawbacks. Accurate estimation of energy production from a solar power plant, such as PV-based plant is important to satisfy energy demand successfully. To be able to estimate energy production in advance, solar energy incident on PV modules should be ...
