Storage security is an essential prerequisite for the storage of carbon dioxide in the subsurface as a contribution to the reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions. This is compromised if CO2 leaks from the storage reservoir or displaces resident brine into freshwater aquifers.
The use of numerical models to investigate some of the issues -- particularly CO2 leakage -- relevant to storage security will be a central issue in the presentation. In addition, an effort will be made to examine the reliability and comparability of some numerical models currently used in the scientific and engineering community.
Finally, special emphasis will be placed on the reduction of leakage potential in the vicinity of the injection well with the aid of microbial biofilms.
