Flow through porous media: from CCS to CCS-EOR →
Geological Storage of CO2 The issues: Options 1 to 6 above cannot be implemented without a detailed knowledge of the hydrodynamics in the injection locations: the interaction of the various phases and components (e.g. CO 2 ) within the rock pores. This can be achieved by modern simulation.
Flow through porous media Complex geometry from tomography data

Injection process of gas into the mixture of oil & water Fixed the pipe diameter, find the optimal gas injection rate, i.e. optimal the design of valve nozzle diameter and injection pressure etc. Heat transfer due to bubble generation Gas lift in wells and risers
Diameter of the internal pipe: 50 to 75mm. Valve nozzle diameter: 3.2 to 8.0mm Valve injection pressure: 7-12MP Mass flow rate of the inflow: m 3 /day Oil & Water volume rate: % Compressible gas Pipe length: … Gas lift in wells and risers
