Abstract
This article presents numerical simulations of CO2 storage mechanisms in the Pennsylvanian Upper Morrow sandstone reservoir, locally termed the Morrow B sandstone in the Farnsworth Unit (FWU) of Ochiltree County, Texas. The CO2 storage mechanisms considered in the study under a CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) mode include structural-stratigraphic trapping, CO2 dissolution in formation water and oil, and residual trapping. The reservoir simulation model was constructed on the basis of field geophysical, geological, and engineering data such as three-dimensional surface seismic data, well logs, and fluid analysis. A representative fluid sampled from the reservoir was analyzed and used to tune the equation of state. A thermodynamic minimum miscible pressure was subsequently computed and compared to the experimental outcome. A history-matched model was constructed and used as a baseline to determine the effects of different hypothetical injection strategies (that consider CO2 purchase, gas recycling, and infi...
