Reservoir-engineering aspects of CO2 sequestration in coals
Increasing worldwide CO2 emissions have heightened interest in injecting CO2 into coals to mitigate ifs possible role in global-warming. Concepts from natural gas storage are readily adapted to CO2 sequestration in coal. Coal-seam fill-up with CO2 can be described by coupling a gas-injectivity equation with a mass-balance equation. The full-length paper presents example calculations for two selected coal basins.
