Pore-scale imaging of hydrogen displacement and trapping in porous media

Eike M. Thaysen et al.

Summary: Hydrogen can be used as an energy store in the renewable energy sector to balance supply and demand. Storage of hydrogen in subsurface porous media can provide high storage capacities, but the recoverable volume of hydrogen is uncertain. X-ray computed microtomography was used to study the displacement and capillary trapping of hydrogen by brine in a Clashach sandstone core under pore fluid pressures of 2-7 MPa. The results show that hydrogen saturation during drainage was around 50% of the pore volume and independent of the pore fluid pressure. Hydrogen recovery during secondary imbibition decreased with pressure, but increased with higher brine capillary numbers. Based on these findings, it is recommended to use shallower, lower pressure sites for future hydrogen storage operations in porous media.

Impact of experimentally measured relative permeability hysteresis on reservoir-scale performance of underground hydrogen storage (UHS)

Zhenkai Bo et al.

Summary: Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) is an emerging large-scale energy storage technology. Researchers investigate its feasibility and performance using numerical simulations, but existing studies may not reliably quantify the feasibility of potential storage projects due to the lack of accurate relative permeability models. This study examines how experimentally measured hydrogen-brine relative permeability hysteresis affects the performance of UHS projects through numerical reservoir simulations.

Impact of geological and operational conditions on underground hydrogen storage

Reza Ershadnia et al.

Summary: Transitioning to renewable energies is crucial for addressing climate change and establishing a sustainable energy system. However, the fluctuation in availability of renewable energy sources poses a challenge of demand and supply imbalance. In this study, we investigate the injection, storage, and production of green hydrogen (H2) in a three-dimensional heterogeneous aquifer system, considering factors such as anisotropy ratio, temperature, relative permeability hysteresis, well perforation placement, and cushion gas type. Our findings suggest that successful H2 recovery depends on the aquifer's anisotropy, temperature, injection and production strategies, as well as the use of low-density and low-viscosity cushion gas.

Initial and residual trapping of hydrogen and nitrogen in Fontainebleau sandstone using nuclear magnetic resonance core flooding

Ahmed Al-Yaseri et al.

Summary: Hydrogen, as a promising energy carrier with zero emission, plays an important role in the transition to renewable energy. However, there are serious knowledge gaps in hydrogen technology, particularly in its production, transport, storage, and utilization. This study conducted core flooding experiments using NMR to investigate hydrogen and nitrogen gas saturations in sandstone, and found that hydrogen saturation was significantly lower than nitrogen saturation, supporting the feasibility of underground hydrogen storage.

H2-brine interfacial tension as a function of salinity, temperature, and pressure; implications for hydrogen geo-storage

Mirhasan Hosseini et al.

Summary: Hydrogen, as a clean fuel source, has attracted attention for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and meeting global energy demand. However, its high volatility and compressibility pose challenges for storage. Surface-based storage facilities and underground geo-storage are used to address these challenges. The interaction between hydrogen and resident formation fluids, such as water, greatly affects its flow pattern and storage capacity. This study measured the interfacial tension between hydrogen and brine under various storage conditions and developed an empirical equation to predict it. The results provide fundamental data for H-2 geo-storage projects and contribute to the implementation of a large-scale hydrogen economy.

Assessment of rock-hydrogen and rock-water interfacial tension in shale, evaporite and basaltic rocks

Mirhasan Hosseini et al.

Summary: Underground hydrogen storage is an important method for reducing greenhouse gases and meeting energy demand. The rock-fluid interfacial tension is a crucial parameter for gas storage, which can determine gas injection and production rates, as well as storage capacity and containment security. However, it is difficult to experimentally measure this parameter and there is a lack of data in the literature for different rock/H2/water systems. Therefore, this study theoretically calculated the interfacial tension using contact angles data, providing a better understanding of wetting characteristics in different rock/H2/water systems.

Hydrogen Storage Assessment in Depleted Oil Reservoir and Saline Aquifer

Mojdeh Delshad et al.

Summary: Hydrogen is an attractive energy carrier for various applications, and successful underground hydrogen storage technology is crucial for a hydrogen economy. Different options, such as manmade caverns, salt domes/caverns, saline aquifers, and depleted oil/gas fields, have been used for storing large quantities of gaseous hydrogen. The key requirements for porous rock formations storing hydrogen include adequate capacity, containment ability, high-volume injection/extraction capability, and reliable caprock to prevent leakage. Detailed evaluations and simulations have shown that while experiences with CO2 and natural gas storage cannot be simply replicated with hydrogen, hydrogen storage requires special containment measures due to its lateral spread behavior.

Esuru Rita Okoroafor et al.

Summary: This study investigates the reservoir, geological, and operational controls for large-scale hydrogen storage and optimal injection and withdrawal from depleted natural gas reservoirs. The findings suggest that reservoirs with lower pressures at the start of storage operations, steeply dipping reservoirs with good permeability and a well placed updip injection/withdrawal well, as well as permeable reservoirs with sufficient thickness, are favorable for hydrogen storage and withdrawal. Site selection criteria for underground hydrogen storage in depleted gas reservoirs are proposed based on these results and sensitivity analyses.

Hydrogen underground storage efficiency in a heterogeneous sandstone reservoir

Doaa Saleh Mahdi et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of caprock availability and hydrogen injection rate on hydrogen recovery factor and leakage rate in underground hydrogen storage using a three dimensional reservoir model. The findings suggest that both caprock and injection rate play a critical role in hydrogen leakage and the quantities of trapped and recovered hydrogen. Higher injection rates increase H2 leakage when caprocks are absent, while lower injection rates and caprock availability increase the amount of recovered hydrogen.
