Multiscale Modeling To Evaluate The Mechanisms Controlling Co2-Based Enhanced Oil Recovery And Co2 Storage In The Bakken Formation, José A. Torres, Lu Jin, Nicholas W. Bosshart, Lawrence J. Pekot, James A. Sorensen, Kyle J. Peterson, Parker W. Anderson, Steven B. Hawthorne Jul 2018

Multiscale Modeling To Evaluate The Mechanisms Controlling Co2-Based Enhanced Oil Recovery And Co2 Storage In The Bakken Formation, José A. Torres, Lu Jin, Nicholas W. Bosshart, Lawrence J. Pekot, James A. Sorensen, Kyle J. Peterson, Parker W. Anderson, Steven B. Hawthorne

EERC Publications

This work presents the main findings of a research project conducted to integrate well logs and advanced laboratory- based data from Bakken core samples into geocellular and simulation models at multiple scales. The objective of this effort was to improve the accuracy of modeling approaches for predicting potential incremental oil production through carbon dioxide (CO2)-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in unconventional tight oil reservoirs and to evaluate the ability of organic-rich shales to store CO2 and, possibly, produce incremental oil.


Field Test Of Co2 Injection In A Vertical Middle Bakken Well To Evaluate The Potential For Enhanced Oil Recovery And Co2 Storage, James A. Sorensen, Lawrence J. Pekot, José A. Torres, Lu Jin, Steven B. Hawthorne, Steven A. Smith, Lonny L. Jacobson, Thomas E. Doll Jul 2018

Field Test Of Co2 Injection In A Vertical Middle Bakken Well To Evaluate The Potential For Enhanced Oil Recovery And Co2 Storage, James A. Sorensen, Lawrence J. Pekot, José A. Torres, Lu Jin, Steven B. Hawthorne, Steven A. Smith, Lonny L. Jacobson, Thomas E. Doll

EERC Publications

In 2017, an injection test was conducted in a vertical well completed in the Middle Member of the Bakken Formation. The objectives of the field test were to quantitatively determine the injectivity of an unstimulated Bakken reservoir and the ability of injected CO2 to mobilize oil.


The Influence Organics On Supercritical Co2 Migration In Organic-Rich Shales, Bethany A. Kurz, James A. Sorensen, Steven B. Hawthorne, Steven A. Smith, Hamed Sanei, Omid Ardakani, Joel Walls, Lu Jin, Shane K. Butler, Christopher J. Beddoe, Blaise A.F. Mibeck Jul 2018

The Influence Organics On Supercritical Co2 Migration In Organic-Rich Shales, Bethany A. Kurz, James A. Sorensen, Steven B. Hawthorne, Steven A. Smith, Hamed Sanei, Omid Ardakani, Joel Walls, Lu Jin, Shane K. Butler, Christopher J. Beddoe, Blaise A.F. Mibeck

EERC Publications

This work describes a series of laboratory-based tests to evaluate the efficacy of CO2 for EOR and to better understand the controlling mechanisms of CO2 permeation in Bakken rock samples.
