CO 2 geological storage (CGS) is a promising technology to reduce anthropogenic
greenhouse gas emissions. In CGS, the CO 2 is injected into underground reservoirs to …

The inclusion of multidentate adsorption reactions has improved the ability of surface
complexation models (SCM) to predict adsorption to mineral surfaces, but variation in the …

Shale swelling during drilling is attributed to osmotic pressure, where low-salinity water
enters the shale pores to cause swelling. Low-salinity water injected into high-salinity …

The numerical simulation of flow and reactive transport in porous media with complex
domains is nontrivial. This paper presents a method to implement fully unstructured grid …

In this study, a new physically and chemically based model taking into account
thermodynamic equilibrium, kinetics and surface complexation is proposed to predict the …

Geothermal energy is commonly recognized as an environmentally friendly source of
energy. However, geothermal fluids have unusually high CO 2 content, particularly, in …

Some shale gas and oil wells undergo month-long shut-in times after multi-stage hydraulic
fracturing well stimulation. Field data indicate that in some wells, such shut-in episodes …

The thermodynamic database ThermoChimie is developed to meet the needs of
performance assessment of radioactive waste disposals, particularly in the context of the …

Flood basalts have the potential for relatively rapid mineral trapping when used as an
injection target for CO 2 storage. Although CO 2 mineral trapping in basalt has been studied …

Various fracture patterns may develop through hydraulic fracture propagation and
interaction with natural fractures which may substantially enhance connectivity and …
