Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) are crucial for mitigating carbon emissions in the coming decades. A key approach involves sequestering CO2 in saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs. At Piri Technologies, we bring extensive expertise and experience to help you design and execute effective CCUS projects. From initial testing to full implementation, our scientists are equipped to support your CO2 sequestration needs.
Here are some highlights from our previous projects:
- Experimental Special Core Analysis (SCAL): Utilize X-ray imaging to generate in-situ 3D saturation and relative permeability data of supercritical or gaseous CO2 and brine using site-specific rock samples under reservoir conditions. Our studies include:
-
- Capillary trapping characteristics
- Full-cycle and scanning relative permeability curves
- Relative permeability and trapping hysteresis
- CO2 dissolution and its impacts on residual trapping and relative permeability
- Effects of co-contaminants such as SOx and NOx on CO2 trapping
- Computational Analysis: Apply advanced computational methods to understand CO2-brine flow and storage dynamics, e.g., residual trapping, relative permeability, hysteresis, capillary pressure, etc., using:
-
- Digital Rock Technology: Direct pore-to-core upscaling of two-phase flow using a dynamic pore network modeling approach
- Compositional Continuum-Scale Modeling: To study flow and storage at various plug sizes
