Sequestration of CO2 in enhanced oil recovery applications has been widely recognized as one of the favorite techniques for reducing emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere in response to global climate change. This technique provides lower costs for CO2 sequestration by means of higher incremental oil recoveries. There are some key parameters, when considering a.field for the CO2 displacement. Oil reservoirs are screened out according to oil gravity, reservoir temperature and pressure, minimum miscibility pressure, and remaining oil saturation. Throughout this study, the CO2-Prophet tool is utilized in order to assess suitability of Batt Raman and camurlu crude oil fields for CO2-enhanced oil recovery application. In the second part of the study, the Kinder Morgan Scoping economic model is used to see economic consequences of the project. Although the API gravity and minimum miscibility pressure for these fields do not meet the required criteria for the miscible flood, due to importance of CO2 sequestration and absence of appropriate fields for CO2-enhanced oil recovery implementation in Turkey, these.fields can be considered for CO2-enhanced oil recovery applications as long as the project is economically feasible.

A Numerical Simulation Study of Carbon-Dioxide Sequestration into a Depleted Oil Reservoir Pamukcu, Y. Z.; Gumrah, F. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Utilization of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery and sequestration processes not only reduces greenhouse emissions but also awards economical benefits. Enhancing oil recovery in a sequestration is an optimization process that requires careful analysis. In CO2-enhanced oil recovery the main purpose is to maximize oil recovery with the minimum quantity of CO2 while a maximum amount of CO2 is aimed to store in a sequestration. Kartaltepe field having 32 degrees API gravity oil in a carbonate formation from southea...
An investigation of optimum PV and wind energy system capacities for alternate short and long-term energy storage sizing methodologies Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (Wiley, 2019-01-01) The goal of this study is to find the optimal sizes of renewable energy systems (RES) based on photovoltaic (PV) and/or wind systems for three energy storage system (ESS) scenarios in a micro-grid; (1) with pumped hydro storage (PHS) as a long-term ESS, (2) with batteries as a short-term ESS, and (3) without ESS. The PV and wind sizes are optimally determined to accomplish the maximum annual RES fraction (F-RES) with electricity cost lower than or equal to the utility tariff. Furthermore, the effect of the ...
A review of the optimization studies for Savonius turbine considering hydrokinetic applications Maldar, Nauman Riyaz; Ng, Cheng Yee; Oğuz, Elif (Elsevier BV, 2020-12-15) © 2020 Elsevier LtdThe trend of utilizing renewable energy sources is witnessing a brisk growth around the world. Among the various sources of renewable energy, hydropower is considered the most favorable due to its high potential and distinct advantages such as predictability, high energy density etc. Moreover, to extract the hydrokinetic energy from flowing streams, different designs of hydrokinetic turbines have emerged which operate on a similar principle as the wind turbines. The Savonius turbine is a ...
Modeling of CO2 storage in an oil reservoir Gumrah, F.; Dulger, M.; Gunaydin, D.; Senel, O. (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) This study provides an overview for the carbon dioxide sequestration process in an oil reservoir by using the software CMG's GEM. Different scenarios are applied for the oil reservoir description. Firstly, a single layered reservoir is considered and simulation studies are performed, as this reservoir is homogeneous, heterogeneous and fractured. Secondly, a multi-layered reservoir is examined. In the second case, a heterogeneous system and a heterogeneous system composed of homogenous layers are selected. F...
GIS-based site selection methodology for hybrid renewable energy systems: A case study from western Turkey Aydin, Nazli Yonca; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Duzgun, H. Sebnem (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01) Renewable energy sources are presently being considered as alternatives to fossil fuels, because they are perpetual, environmentally friendly, and release negligible amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere while producing energy. A disadvantage of renewable energy systems, however, is that continuous energy generation is not possible by using only one type of renewable energy system, since renewable energy resources depend on climate and weather conditions. Two or more renewable energy systems can be ...
