Reservoir Engineering for CO₂ Storage: Fundamental & Practical Aspects - eBook

This comprehensive guide distills nearly two decades of research and teaching into a clear, application-focused resource on geological CO₂ storage modeling, carbon capture and storage modeling (CCS modeling), and CO2 reservoir modeling—all tailored specifically for petroleum engineers.

While GCS modeling has historically been driven by physics, mathematics, and hydrogeology, petroleum engineering CO₂ modeling often requires a different approach. This book translates complex, multidisciplinary CO2 geological modeling techniques into a unified, petroleum engineer–friendly framework. Whether your focus is CO₂ sequestration engineering, enhanced oil recovery CO₂ modeling, or transitioning from oil and gas to carbon storage, this is the go-to reference for mastering CO₂ storage with clarity and confidence.

Unlike generic carbon storage resources, this book connects carbon storage engineering theory directly to CCS field application for petroleum engineers. You’ll learn how to integrate CO₂ injection modeling into established reservoir engineering workflows, run Excel CO₂ storage modeling tutorials, and apply geological carbon capture techniques to practical decision-making. The book features Excel-based modeling exercises, interactive quizzes, and practical examples that reinforce key concepts and build technical mastery—making it ideal for both self-study and team training in carbon storage simulation.

Whether your focus is CO₂ sequestration engineering, enhanced oil recovery CO₂ modeling, or transitioning from oil and gas to carbon storage, this is the go-to reference for mastering CO₂ storage with clarity and confidence.
