The Introduction of the Special Issue With increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) has been known as an effective method for reducing CO2 emissions from the use of fossil fuels. The technology of storing CO2 with enhanced oil recovery(CO2-EOR) has recently attracted interests since it has immense potential to increase the economic output of a CCS project and reduce the overall cost. Simulations and experiments illustrate that CCUS in geological formations such as oil and gas reservoirs can store large volumes of carbon dioxide as well as provide energy recover improvements.
The Research Scope of the Special Issue •CO2 for enhancing oil and gas recovery •Costs, risks, environmental impacts, policies and regulatory frameworks of CO2-EOR •CO2 capture; pre-combustion; post-combustion; oxy-fuel combustion; gasification and chemical looping combustion •Utilizing CO2 for improving oil and gas recovery from tight reservoirs •Flow behavior and mechanisms during CO2-EOR •Development of field and pilot cases •Co-optimization of CCS and CO2-EOR in a dynamic optimization framework •CO2 capture and storage within geological formations and deep saline aquifers •Experimental, modeling and simulations works; characterization of rock and fluids; rock-fluids interactions
