Summary: In this paper, the authors modeled CO2 injection in the Patterson Field and proposed general models to quickly screen reservoir properties and calculate pressure changes near and far from the injection wellbore. It was found that CO2 injection created more pressure compared to saline waste-fluids, but there was a more significant pressure buildup at the caprock-reservoir interface and lower pressure buildup at the bottom of the reservoir when injecting CO2 compared with waste-fluid injection.

Summary: The study investigates the feasibility of storing CO2 inside hydrate stability zone (HSZ) through reservoir pressure management via water producers and CO2 injectors. Results show that by controlling reservoir pressure, CO2 can be stored in HSZ with the formation of CO2 hydrate delaying CO2 breakthrough and limiting gas leakage. The research highlights the potential of storing CO2 in aquifers with a HSZ, with implications for CO2 geological storage.

Summary: CO2 sequestration and CO2 enhanced oil recovery are two major processes that expose rocks to CO2, affecting their mechanical and chemical properties. Storage of CO2 in tight formations is crucial for energy transition and climate change mitigation, but may also lead to potential leakage or induced fractures.

Summary: Solubility trapping is an important method for storing CO2 in geological sequestration, and its efficiency is influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, and salinity. However, the dynamic dissolution process under actual reservoir conditions is less studied compared to the solubility of single mineral solutions. This study conducted static and dynamic solubility experiments under reservoir conditions using improved experimental methods. The results clarified the dynamic change rule and reason for CO2 solubility through pore permeability measurements and scanning electron microscopy. The study found that temperature has the highest sensitivity to solubility, followed by pressure, while salinity has minimal impact. The solubility of CO2 under reservoir conditions undergoes a dynamic process of decreasing, then increasing, and finally balancing, reaching the lowest point at around 15 days and eventually becoming saturated after 30 days. The equilibrium solubility is about 5% lower than the static solubility value due to the dynamic competition between mineral dissolution and precipitation, as well as the role of chemical retention and residual capture.

Summary: Under immiscible conditions, gravity has a significant influence on CO2 flooding recovery, while under miscible conditions, this influence is not apparent. Gas injection velocity greatly restricts CO2 gravity flooding recovery under immiscible conditions, but it is no longer the main influencing index under miscible conditions. Gravity segregation is conducive to increasing CO2 sequestration potential.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of impurities on the reactive transport of CO2 during geo-sequestration and finds that injecting impurities (H2S and CH4) with CO2 can change the migration, mineral dissolution and precipitation, and cap rock integrity, and enhance mineral trapping. It suggests that storing impure CO2 can enhance mineral trapping, maintain cap rock sealing, and change CO2 distribution in porous media while reducing separation costs.

Summary: This study compares CO2, low-TDS, and high-TDS injection practices and quantifies the induced spatial and temporal patterns in overpressure in the caprock, reservoir, and its hydraulically connected crystalline basement. The study finds that pressure buildup is higher in the caprock and lower in the crystalline basement when injecting CO2 as compared to variable-TDS waste-fluid injection. The CO2 plume tends to expand at the top of the reservoir, primarily due to its lower density and viscosity than reservoir brines, creating an overpressure plume that moves the resident brine across the caprock.

Summary: Salt stress is a major environmental constraint that affects plant distribution, growth, and yield worldwide. Scientists are studying plant salt tolerance mechanisms to develop salt tolerant crop plants, with proteomics playing a crucial role in identifying candidate proteins involved in salt tolerance. Proteomic studies have revealed various salt responsive proteins that regulate processes like photosynthesis, ion homeostasis, and signal transduction, offering potential for biotechnological approaches to improve crop plant tolerance to salt conditions.
