Abstract

A gas condensate reservoir in Northern Croatia was used as an example of a CO 2 injection site during natural gas production to test whether the entire process is carbon-negative. To confirm this hypothesis, all three elements of the CO 2 life cycle were included: (1) CO 2 emitted by combustion of the produced gas from the start of production from the respective field, (2) CO 2 that is separated at natural gas processing plant, i.e., the CO 2 that was present in the original reservoir gas composition, and (3) the injected CO 2 volumes. The selected reservoir is typical of gas-condensate reservoirs in Northern Croatia (and more generally in Drava Basin), as it contains about 50% CO 2 (mole). Reservoir simulations of history-matched model showed base case (production without injection) and several cases of CO 2 enhanced gas recovery, but with a focus on CO 2 storage rather than maximizing hydrocarbon gas production achieved by converting a production well to a CO 2 injection well. General findings are that even in gas reservoirs with such extreme initial CO 2 content, gas production with CO 2 injection can be carbon-negative. In almost all simulated CO 2 injection scenarios, the process is carbon-negative from the time of CO 2 injection, and in scenarios where CO 2 injection begins earlier, it is carbon-negative from the start of gas production, which opens up the possibility of cost-effective storage of CO 2 while producing natural gas with net negative CO 2 emissions.
