Numerical simulation of a comparative study on heat extraction from Soultz-sous-Forêts geothermal field using supercritical carbon dioxide and water as a working fluid
Mrityunjay Singh, Saeed Mahmoodpour, Reza Ershadnia +2
Geothermal energy is an infinite energy source for the present human society. Energy extraction from the deep subsurface requires engineering using a working fluid that circulates…
Bed form-induced hyporheic exchange and geochemical hotspots
Faranak Behzadi, Corey D. Wallace, Dylan Ward +1
Small-scale bed form topographies control hyporheic exchange and biogeochemical processes within aquatic sediments, which ultimately affect water quality and nutrient cycling at th…
Convective dissolution of carbon dioxide in deep saline aquifers: Insights from engineering a high-pressure porous Hele-Shaw cell
Saeed Mahmoodpour, Behzad Rostami, Mohamad Reza Soltanian +1
We present the first experiments of dissolution-driven convection of carbon dioxide (CO) in a confined brine-saturated porous medium at high pressures. We designed a novel Hele…
Solutal convection in porous media: Comparison between boundary conditions of constant concentration and constant flux
Mohammad Amin Amooie, Mohamad Reza Soltanian, Joachim Moortgat
We numerically examine solutal convection in porous media, driven by the dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) into water---an effective mechanism for CO2 storage in saline aquifers.…
Implicit Finite Volume and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Multicomponent Flow in Unstructured 3D Fractured Porous Media
Joachim Moortgat, Mohammad Amin Amooie, Mohamad Reza Soltanian
We present a new implicit higher-order finite element (FE) approach to efficiently model compressible multicomponent fluid flow on unstructured grids and in fractured porous subsur…
How does the connectivity of open-framework conglomerates within multi-scale hierarchical fluvial architecture affect oil sweep efficiency in waterflooding?
Naum I. Gershenzon, Mohamad Reza Soltanian, Robert W. Ritzi +4
We studied the effects on oil sweep efficiency of the proportion, hierarchical organization, and connectivity of high-permeability open-framework conglomerate (OFC) cross-sets with…
A note on upscaling retardation factor in hierarchical porous media with multimodal reactive mineral facies
Mohamad Reza Soltanian, Robert Ritzi, Chaocheng Huang +2
We present a model for upscaling the time-dependent effective retardation factor in hierarchical porous media with multimodal reactive mineral facies. The model extends the approac…
Reactive solute transport in physically and chemically heterogeneous porous media with multimodal reactive mineral facies: The Lagrangian approach
Mohamad Reza Soltanian, Robert Ritzi, Zhenxue Dai +1
Physical and chemical heterogeneities have a large impact on reactive transport in porous media. Examples of heterogeneous attributes affecting reactive mass transport are the hydr…
Influence of small scale heterogeneity on CO2 trapping processes in deep saline aquifers
Naum I. Gershenzon, Mohamad Reza Soltanian, Robert W. Ritzi +1
The physical mechanism of CO2 trapping in porous media by capillary trapping (pore scale) incorporates a number of related processes, i.e. residual trapping, trapping due to hyster…
Understanding the Impact of Open-Framework Conglomerates on Water-Oil Displacements: Victor Interval of the Ivishak Reservoir, Prudhoe Bay Field, Alaska
Naum I. Gershenzon, Mohamadreza Soltanian, Robert W. Ritzi +1
The Victor Unit of the Ivishak Formation in the Prudhoe Bay Oilfield is characterized by high net-to-gross fluvial sandstones and conglomerates. The highest permeability is found w…
