Nonlinear mechanical characteristics and damage constitutive model of coal under CO2 adsorption during geological sequestration

Yi Xue et al.

Summary: Geological sequestration of CO2 is important for reducing global warming and achieving carbon neutralization. This study evaluates the effect of CO2 adsorption pressure on the mechanical properties of coal mass using experimental and analytical methods. An elastic damage model is established to describe the nonlinear stress-strain relationship of coal under CO2 adsorption. The results show that increasing adsorption pressure increases the risk of coal damage and fracturing, leading to a more complex fracturing process.

Potential effect of carbon dioxide injection on the functional groups of medium volatile bituminous coals analysed using in-situ diffuse reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy

Jianxin Li et al.

Summary: CO2 sequestration with enhanced coalbed methane recovery (CO2-ECBM) is a promising technology for mitigating CO2 emissions. Injecting CO2 into the coal can change its macromolecular structure, reducing the content of oxygen-containing functional groups and -CH2-, and affecting the properties of the coal reservoir, such as porosity, permeability, and mechanical characteristics.

Experimental investigation on the high-pressure sand suspension and adsorption capacity of guar gum fracturing fluid in low-permeability shale reservoirs: factor analysis and mechanism disclosure

Qiang Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of different factors on the high-pressure static sand suspension of guar gum fracturing fluid using a synthetic efficient nano-ZrO2 cross-linker. The results show that the inclusion of a small content of nano-ZrO2 cross-linker leads to increased fracturing fluid viscosity and decreased gravel falling quality. The investigation of nano-cross-linker not only provides necessary theoretical technology and data support for the stability of water-based fracturing fluid, efficient sand carrying, and the development of water-based fracturing technology, but also effectively protects the underground shale reservoir.

Hydrate as a by-product in CO2 leakage during the long-term sub-seabed sequestration and its role in preventing further leakage

Qingchao Li et al.

Summary: Subsurface sequestration of CO2 produced by industrial production is an effective way to control greenhouse gas emissions and potential global warming. However, leakage of CO2 in long-term sub-seabed sequestration poses a significant threat to the marine environment. This study explores the secondary sequestration mechanism of leaked CO2 in hydrate-bearing sediment and analyzes the impact of hydrate saturation and sediment thickness. The findings demonstrate that hydrate plays a crucial role in secondary sequestration by filling migration channels in sediment. By optimizing the characteristics of hydrate-bearing sediment, leakage of CO2 can be effectively sequestrated.

Shakil A. Masum et al.

Summary: This article investigates the challenges of CO2 storage in coal and proposes a novel solution. Through pre-operational simulation studies, it is found that the targeted amount of CO2 can be injected into the coal seams without significant loss of permeability or injectivity by varying the length of horizontal wells and injection conditions. Furthermore, the spread of CO2 is predicted to be contained within the model domain.
