Abstract

Abstract

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the effective means to deal with global warming, and saline aquifer storage is considered to be the most promising storage method. Junggar Basin, located in the northern part of Xinjiang and with a large distribution area of saline aquifer, is an effective carbon storage site. Based on well logging data and 2D seismic data, a 3D heterogeneous geological model of the Cretaceous Donggou Formation reservoir near D7 well was constructed, and dynamic simulations under two scenarios of single-well injection and multi-well injection were carried out to explore the storage potential and CO₂ storage mechanism of deep saline aquifer with real geological conditions in this study. The results show that within 100 km² of the saline aquifer of Donggou Formation in the vicinity of D7 well, the theoretical static CO₂ storage is 71.967 × 10⁶ tons (P50)^①, and the maximum dynamic CO₂ storage is 145.295 × 10⁶ tons (Case2). The heterogeneity of saline aquifer has a great influence on the spatial distribution of CO₂ in the reservoir. The multi-well injection scenario is conducive to the efficient utilization of reservoir space and safer for storage. Based on the results from theoretical static calculation and the dynamic simulation, the effective coefficient of CO₂ storage in deep saline aquifer in the eastern part of Xinjiang is recommended to be 4.9%. This study can be applied to the engineering practice of CO₂ sequestration in the deep saline aquifer in Xinjiang.
