Lyman L. Handy ColloquiumpresentsDr. Margot GerritsenPetroleum Engineering Program, Stanford UniversityGeological sequestration of CO2 in depleted oil or gas reservoir, deep aquifers or coalbeds is increasingly looked at as a viable way to reduce the atmospheric concentration of this greenhouse gas. To address the important questions of the feasibility, risks and costs of geological CO2 sequestration processes, researchers frequently turn to computer simulations. Reliable simulation is however quite challenging. We will discuss the state-of-knowledge in geological sequestration, the numerical challenges and research required to advance this field.
