摘要

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants and other sources of itsemissions and injecting it into deep geologic formations for permanent storage purposeshas become an important area of research recently. Some of the good formationcandidates for CO2 sequestration are deep saline aquifers because they have a highstorage capacity and because they are available in almost all sedimentary basins of theworld. The effectiveness of the sequestration process in saline aquifers depends highlyon the two-phase CO2-brine relative permeability behavior and the latter can only bemeasured in the laboratory. Although relative permeability data for hydrocarbon bearingformations are generally available, very little is known about the relative permeability ofCO2-brine two phase systems, especially for the cases involving actual reservoir rocks.In this paper, we present relative permeability data generated on three saline formationsthat are being explored as potential candidates for CO2 capture and sequestration. Theseare - the KNO_x sandstone, the St. Peter sandstone, and the Sylvania formation. The latteris divided into an upper sandstone formation and a lower dolomite formation, and bothare investigated separately. Three 1.5 inch diameter by 2 inch long core plugs from eachformation, drilled in the direction of flow, were used to form composite cores in order toconduct drainage CO2-brine relative permeability measurements using the unsteady statemethod at simulated reservoir conditions. In order to understand the various phenomenataking place during multiphase displacement processes, all of these experiments wereconducted inside an X-ray CT (computerized tomography) scanner. Pixel-by-pixel imagesubtraction was used to calculate individual saturations of brine and CO2 at variousstages of displacement. CT-based heterogeneity measurements were used to compare theheterogeneity of different plugs and to assess the effect of heterogeneity on displacement.Additionally, the CT-based image data were used to see if capillary end effects, gravitysegregation and bypassing occurred during each test.The results indicate low CO2 end point relative permeability (k_(rg)) in the range of0.036 to 0.34 for the three formations. These low values can be attributed to rockheterogeneity as indicated by the saturation distribution determined from the scannerimages. Such low relative permeability values would tend to decrease injectivity andhence increase the displacement efficiency. This was reflected on the residual brinesaturations which were in the range of 0.25 to 0.45 indicating good storage potential for
