Romanian Ccs Demo Project - Reservoir Simulation Model Construction

Geological storage of CO2 provide a way to avoid emitting CO2 into the atmosphere, by capturing CO2 from major stationary sources, transporting it usually by pipeline and injecting it into suitable deep aquifer rock formations. Geological storage of CO2 has grown from a concept of limited interest to one that is quite widely regarded as a potentially important mitigation option. There are several reasons for this. First, as research has progressed and as demonstration and commercial projects have been successfully undertaken, the level of confidence in the technology has increased. The Turceni CO2 Storage Project, is the first commercial scale project dedicated to geological CO2 storage in a aquifer formation will be done in Romania. The emission of CO2 from Turceni is captured and transported, then injected into a large, deep, Aquifer formation 800 m below the mean sea level. The Saline Aquifer CO2 Storage (SACS) project was established to monitor and research the storage of CO2 in Romania.

The saline formation into which the CO2 is injected is a brine - saturated consolidated sandstone with total thickness between 294–3540 m. The formation also contains secondary thin shale layers, which influence the internal movement of injected CO2.
