From theory to practice: Study demonstrates high CO2 storage efficiency in shale reservoirs using fracturing technology - EurekAlert
A recent study published in <em>Engineering</em> reveals the significant carbon storage potential of shale reservoirs using CO<sub>2</sub> fracturing technology. CO<sub>2</sub> fracturing is an effective method that can not only enhance oil recovery but also promote large amounts of CO<sub>2</sub> storage. By utilizing numerical simulation,, the study shows that CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption and diffusion play crucial roles in long-term storage within shale formations. The findings suggest an 80.15% storage efficiency over a decade, with projections indicating substantial CO<sub>2</sub> storage potential by 2030. This research contributes to China’s goals of energy independence and carbon neutrality.
