Workshop summary:
Removing excess CO2 from the atmosphere has significant implications for both the climate and the energy industry. One strategy for storing CO2 captured from various industrial processes is to inject it into underground rock formations permanently. To ensure the safety and viability of these subsurface storage sites over time, simulation software is used to model the behavior of CO2 in these environments.
In this interactive workshop for members of the NY and NE Section of the SPE, attendees will see an example of how the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software can be used to simulate the spread of CO2 throughout a formation during the injection phase as well as 25 years following the injection well's shutdown. The demo model will employ the COMSOL® software's thermodynamics functionality to compute the pressure and temperature-dependent density and viscosity of the supercritical CO2. An overview of the subsurface flow modeling capabilities available with the COMSOL® software will also be provided.
