CO2 in atmosphere levels can be reduced by sequestering it directly to the underground. High amounts of CO2 can be safely stored in underground media for very long time periods. Storage in depleted gas reservoirs provides an option for sequestering CO2. CO2 sequestration in Kuzey Marmara field has been considered in this study as an alternative to the gas storage projects. The reservoir still contains producible natural gas. Four scenarios were prepared by considering this fact with variations in the regional field properties and implemented into a previously built simulation model. Reservoir porosity and permeability maps were prepared and merged with Kuzey Marmara production information to create an input file for a computer modeling group-full equation of state compositional reservoir simulator (CMG-GEM) simulator, and a three-dimensional model of the reservoir was created. After analyzing the results from the scenarios it is realized that CO2 injection can be applied to increase natural gas recovery of Kuzey Marmara field but sequestering high rate CO2 emissions is found to be inappropriate.

Modeling binary CO2/CH4 flow through coal media Gumrah, F.; Balan, H. O.; Atay, M. U. (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) CO2 can be sequestered in coal seams considering the environmental issues. By means of injecting CO2 into the coal seams, both sequestration of CO2 and the enhanced recovery of methane inside the coal seam can be realized. One-dimensional simulation regarding the binary CO2/CH4 flow in a coal seam core was studied by using an analytical solution method. The simulation results were compared with experimental data by matching the effluent concentrations of CO2 and CH4. The transport parameters such as longitu...
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...
Diffusive and Convective Mechanisms during CO2 Sequestration in Aquifers Ozgur, E.; Gumrah, F. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) CO2 emissions originated from industrial sources can be captured, transported, and stored in depleted gas/oil fields and deep saline aquifers. The transport mechanisms, occurred during CO2 sequestration in deep saline aquifers, are examined in this study. After injecting CO2 until the tolerable pressure for the aquifer is reached, the wells are closed and CO2 is deposited as free gas and soluble gas in water under the sealing rock. During injection and waiting periods, the concentration profile of CO2 withi...
Numerical simulations of gas production from Class 1 hydrate and Class 3 hydrate in the Nile Delta of the Mediterranean Sea MEREY, ŞÜKRÜ; Longinos, Sotirios Nik (Elsevier BV, 2018-04-01) Gas hydrate reservoirs are considered as near-future energy resources in the world. As well as the many places in the world, there is also gas hydrate potential in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, by using the literature data, it was aimed to understand whether the Mediterranean Sea includes necessary parameters for producible gas hydrate reservoirs. It was shown that the Mediterranean Sea contains all of these parameters (source gas, appropriate pressure and temperature, coarse sand potential, etc.). ...
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 ...
