Implications of "peak oil" for atmospheric CO2 and climate

, 2007
Unconstrained CO2 emission from fossil fuel burning has been the dominant cause of observed anthropogenic global warming. The amounts of "proven" and potential fossil fuel reserves are uncertain and debated.

Characterizing Fractures and Deformation Bands: Implications for Long-Term CO2 Storage within the Cambrian Mount Simon Sandstone

Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research, 2012
Multiple approaches are under development to mitigate the release of potentially harmful human-generated CO2 into the atmosphere. Geologic carbon sequestration is one such process by which CO2 that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere is liquefied,

Co2 geological sequestration

, 2004
Human activities are increasingly altering the Earth's climate. A particular concern is that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) may be rising fast because of increased industrialization. CO{sub 2} is a so-called ''greenhouse gas'' that traps infrared radiation and may contribute to global warming.

Numerical simulation of CO2 sequestration in geological formations

, 2007
CO2 sequestration in geological formations is regarded as a measure for reducing the emissions of this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. With this method, carbon dioxide is captured at large point sources, e.g. coal-fired power plants, and injected into subsurface reservoirs for long-term storage.

Coupled Geomechanical-Flow Assessment of CO2 Leakage through Heterogeneous Caprock during CCS

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018
The viability of carbon capture sequestration (CCS) is dependent on the secure storage of CO2 in subsurface geologic formations. Geomechanical failure of caprock is one of the main reasons of CO2 leakage from the storage formations. Through comprehensive

Assessing CO2 ${ ext{CO}}_{2}$ Migration Within Faults During Megatonne‐Scale Geologic Carbon Dioxide Storage in Offshore Texas

Water Resources Research
Recent studies indicate that Miocene‐age reservoirs offshore Texas are promising candidates for industrial‐scale geologic carbon sequestration. Fault‐bounded hydrocarbon traps are common, and faults may be less competent seals than the low‐permeability ...

A Counterintuitive Path to Carbon Storage: Leveraging EOR to Future‐Proof US Oilfields for Geologic Carbon Sequestration

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is widely seen as essential to achieving net‐zero emissions, yet its large‐scale deployment remains impractical mainly due to economic and political reasons. In this article, we explore the idea that enhanced oil recovery (EOR) may serve as a pragmatic steppingstone for getting GCS‐ready infrastructure in ...
