The Role of Static and Dynamic Modeling in the Fort Nelson CCS Project.

Abstract: Spectra Energy Transmission and the Energy & Environmental Research Center, through the Plains CO₂ Reduction Partnership, are investigating potential commercial-scale carbon capture and storage in a saline formation near Fort Nelson, British Columbia, Canada, by conducting detailed modeling and predictive simulations of injection at the Fort Nelson site. The results of the Fort Nelson modeling activities are providing insight regarding the movement of sour CO₂; the potential effects that large-scale sour CO₂ injection may have on neighboring natural gas production fields; and the deployment of selected monitoring, verification, and accounting techniques.
