Abstract

Enhanced natural gas recovery (EGR) with supercritical (sc)CO2 sequestration offers the prospect of increased natural gas recovery. High-fidelity reservoir simulations offer a method to quantify the risk of contamination of produced gas by the injected scCO2. Simulations of scCO2 mixing with the reservoir gas have been reported; however the effects of connate water on EGR have not been effectively explored. We extend a prior EGR simulation tool (Patel, May and Johns, 2016; Ref. [1]) to incorporate connate water accounting for its effect on dispersivity and permeability; chemical equilibrium is modelled using a novel, computationally efficient Lagrange multiplier-based approach.
