Fontanilla, K.

15 Geochemistry This one-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, or other technical personnel to precede the 2-day CO 2 Sequestration in GEM course. This course is taught by Alberta Innovates Technology Futures (AITF) personnel. Geochemical effects associated with CO 2 in the Carbon Capture and Storage (CSS) process is an important trapping mechanism which should be considered. Once CO 2 is injected into a reservoir, the trapping mechanism progresses through residual gas trapping, solubility trapping, ionic trapping, and finally to mineral trapping over 1000 s of years. At each step, the CO 2 is trapped in a more secure form. The chemistry of produced fluids from the reservoir records the geochemical processes taking place in the reservoir. These can be used to place appropriate constraints on reservoir modeling if geochemical reactions are incorporated. Because of the complexity and number of calculations required per grid block in GEM, the dominant reactions occurring in the reservoir must be identified through use of equilibrium and kinetic geochemical modelling software and then specified in GEM in order to calculate the amounts, types, and timing of the geochemical trapping efficiency. The workshop will build up to the CO 2 Sequestration in GEM course where it will be discussed how residual and solubility trapping leads to interactions between the fluids and minerals in the reservoir, resulting in ionic and mineral trapping. The course covers the fundamental and the practical aspects of preparing appropriate geochemical datasets for GEM using two geochemical software applications, SOLMINEQ and GAMSPATH. The topics covered include: Assessing reliability of water analyses (SOLMINEQ). Correction of water analyses to down-hole conditions (SOLMINEQ). Mixing of waters (SOLMINEQ). Saturation state of minerals (SOLMINEQ). Kinetics of mineral reactions (GAMSPATH). Assessing probable mineral reactions within a grid block (GAMSPATH).

16 CO 2 Sequestration Simulation Using GEM This two-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, or other technical personnel who would like to learn about CO 2 Sequestration in GEM. Advanced knowledge of CMG simulator functions are required. Carbon dioxide is emitted in vast quantities through the burning of coal and other fossil fuels for transport, heat, and the production of electricity. CO 2 capture and storage is a practical method for reducing the amount of CO 2 released into the atmosphere. There are presently 4 accepted methods for storing CO 2 in underground geological formations: Storage in depleted Oil & Gas Reservoirs. Use of CO 2 in Enhanced Oil & Gas Recovery. Use of CO 2 in Enhanced Coal Bed Methane Recovery (ECBM). Storage in Deep Aquifers (Saline or Fresh). This workshop will address the last method of CO 2 storage. Deep saline aquifers seem to offer the most promise for CO 2 storage, as they are widely distributed, underlie most point sources of CO 2 emission and are not limited by the reservoir size, as in the case of depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Also, saline water is not seen to have a use at present or the foreseeable future due to the associated dissolved solid contents. This course covers the fundamentals and the practical aspects of the simulation of CO 2 storage in saline aquifers with the Equation of State Geochemical Compositional simulator, GEM, developed by CMG. Three important aspects of CO 2 storage are covered: CO 2 solubility in brine, residual gas trapping, and mineralization of CO 2 over a long period. The topics covered include: Use of CMG s WinProp to generate fluid data for GEM. Geochemistry. Modelling gas solubility in the aqueous phase. Relative permeability effects on residual gas trapping (hysteresis). Simulation of flow and convection in aquifers. Conversion of CO 2 into minerals.

21 Geomechanics in GEM & STARS This two-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, or other technical personnel who would like to learn the geomechanical features in CMG's GEM and STARS simulators. Basic knowledge of CMG simulator functions are required to learn the geomechanical features and applications. This course will introduce the geomechanical concepts from simple dilation/compaction table input to complex finite element strain/stress approaches. Attendees should be familiar with basic simulation work and have some practical experience in black oil, compositional, or thermal simulation. Stress-related phenomenon will be discussed including rock deformation and subsidence. Cap rock integrity and modeling of cap rock failures will be discussed and illustrated. Simple elasto-plastic yield to more complex cap models will be explained and demonstrated. Single well to full field examples of geomechanics simulation in GEM and STARS will be illustrated. Analysis of the simulation runs will be performed to have a better understanding of these geomechanical features. This course will provide participant enough information and techniques to build a complex reservoir simulation dataset with geomechanical effects and explore the more complex functions of GEM and STARS simulators. GEM and STARS simulator geomechanics features and applications including application of geomechanical coupling to the simulators. Simple dilation/compaction table input, application and limitation. Concepts of complex stress-strain relationship, yielding criteria, linear elasticity, non-linear elasticity (hypoelastic and hyperelastic), elasto-plastic behavior and associated constitutive models (Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker Prager), and Generalized Plasticity. Keywords used in geomechanical models in GEM and STARS. Example models of modeling cap rock integrity in thermal simulation and CO 2 sequestration simulation for saline aquifers. Review of Builder/Results to input and analyze simulation data. Implementation of a separate Geomechanical Grid (GeoGrid). Use of Post-Process geomechanic capabilities (running Geomechanics on a previously ran reservoir model). Other example simulation models related to geomechanical features in GEM and STARS applications. Introduction to IMEX/Builder/Results and Introduction to STARS courses We ve Moved!
