HYDRODYNAMIC TRAPPING [4 records]

Subject field(s)

  • Climate Change
CONT

Hydrodynamic trapping can occur in saline formations that do not have a closed trap, but where fluids migrate very slowly over long distances. When CO2 is injected into a formation, it displaces saline formation water and then migrates buoyantly upwards, because it is less dense than the water. When it reaches the top of the formation, it continues to migrate as a separate phase until it is trapped as residual CO2 saturation or in local structural or stratigraphic traps within the sealing formation. In the longer term, significant quantities of CO2 dissolve in the formation water and then migrate with the groundwater.

OBS

Hydrodynamic, structural and stratigraphic trapping are types of physical trapping used to trap CO2 in geologic formations.

CONT

Si la capture du CO2 peut être résolue à court terme mais avec un surcoût, sa séquestration nécessite le développement de recherches amont à long terme, centrées sur les géosciences : piégeage sous forme de liquide ou fluide supercritique, dissolution dans une phase fluide, piégeage hydrodynamique, sans oublier la biologie végétale (augmentation du rendement de la photosynthèse).

OBS

Le piégeage hydrodynamique, structural et stratigraphique sont des types de piégeage physique du CO2 injecté dans des formations géologiques.

CONT

Physical trapping includes : stratigraphic trapping,... ;structural trapping, where CO2 is trapped by physical structures such as those formed by faults and folds of the rock; or hydrodynamic trapping...

OBS

Not to be confused with "stratigraphic trapping. "Structural and stratigraphic trapping(along with hydrodynamic trapping) are all types of physical trapping. A structural trap is formed by folded or fractured rocks while a stratigraphic trap is formed by changes in rock type caused by variation of the setting where rocks were deposited.

CONT

Cette forme de piégeage de CO2 sous forme supercritique est appelée piégeage structural.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec «piégeage stratigraphique». Le piégeage structural et le piégeage stratigraphique (ainsi que le piégeage hydrodynamique) sont des types de piégeage physique du CO2. Un piège structural est formé par des plis et des failles de la roche alors qu'un piège stratigraphique est formé lorsque des couches imperméables de roches sus-jacentes agissent comme des surfaces étanches au-dessus des couches perméables sous-jacentes.

It is considered that in a suitable storage site, CO2 will be stored by physical or geochemical trapping or a combination of both. Physical trapping includes : stratigraphic trapping, when the CO2 is held below a low-permeability seal(cap rock) ;structural trapping, where CO2 is trapped by physical structures such as those formed by faults and folds of the rock; or hydrodynamic trapping in saline formations, where fluids migrate very slowly and the buoyant CO2 migrates upwards to the top of the formation.

CONT

Le piégeage physique, qui bloque la remontée du CO2, est assuré par une couche de schiste argileux, appelée chapeau ou couverture, située au-dessus du réservoir. Les forces capillaires qui retiennent le gaz dans les espaces interstitiels de la formation peuvent aussi contribuer au piégeage physique.
