S&T challenges • Understand ScCO2 reactions and mechanisms under high P, T and the relevant time-scales for permeability variations, fracture opening and self-sealing • Accelerate the translation of data into scientific understanding and prediction while improving the accessibility and use of advanced simulators
Objectives Accelerate the safe deployment of geologic sequestration with underpinning basic science in geochemistry and subsurface flow and transport. • Major role of PNNL in understanding the behavior of supercritical CO2 in deep geologic reservoirs • Develop and ensure the accuracy of kinetic data and reaction mechanisms for the reservoir simulations • Develop new modeling tools (geomechanics, co-sequestration, uncertainty quantification) • Develop an open source data and knowledge management platform (GS3) that will be widely used • Advise DOE on research and development needs for carbon sequestration • Help EPA and regulators managing the carbon storage sites
Science Impacts all Phases of a Geologic Sequestration Project Site Characterization Construction High Injection & Monitoring Closure & Long-Term Monitoring • Geochemistry: Understand reactions & trapping mechanisms to increase the accuracy of the simulation, reduce the cost of monitoring and hasten closure • Computational Subsurface Science: Science-based simulators will continue to advance & their increasing complexity, combined with monitoring data will require HPC • Integrated Tools: manage storage sites, validate model, help design monitoring systems. Cost Uncertainty Low 30-50 100 3-7 Time (years)
Approach 3 focus areas, 15 projects, 40 researchers, ~$15M over 5 years. Ian Gorton Tim Scheibe Kevin Rosso
Approach (cont’d) • An experimental suite – In Situ Supercritical Suite (IS3): • Probe reactions under supercritical conditions • Processes that impact the integrity of the caprock • Geochemistry of co-sequestration • A modeling suite – Modelling Schemes for Subsurface Sequestration (MS3): • Represent chemistry in simulators when CO2 is the solvating fluid • Full coupling of geochemistry, hydrology, and geomechanics within simulators • Transition from equations of fluid flow (Navier-Stokes flow) in an individual pore to the Darcy equation at larger scales • A computational platform – Geologic Sequestration Software Suite (GS3): • Accelerate the translation of data into scientific understanding and, in turn, prediction and simulation • Improve accessibility and use of advanced simulators • 3-D visualization & parameter estimation environment
Advisory Committee Comments • Ties of Tartakovsky and Oostrom projects to programmatic objectives are unclear. • Creation of the 3rd focus area MS3 ✓ • For the FY 2011 projects, address the issues of uncertainty quantification and geomechanics modeling capabilities; • New geomechanical project in MS3 ✓ • New UQ and RA pipeline project in GS3 ✓ • Reduced emphasis on co-sequestration, or at least clear acknowledgement that co-sequestration will likely never be implemented in the U.S., but only internationally (e.g., China); • Project clearlyoriented to the cooperationwith China ✓ • Extension to oxycombustion type mixtures (FutureGen 2.0)✓ 15
Advisory Committee Comments (cont’d) • For the proposed project microbial impact R&D, examine the need and potential for such a project to justify going forward. • Project not considered for funding in CSI ✓ • In general, go into more depth than broaden the initiative’s scope. Focus more resources on existing programs rather than create new ones; • Creation of the Loring project in IS3 ✓ • Extension of the core-frameworkdevelopmentproject in GS3 ✓ • Aggressively pursue leading roles for CSI in the Energy Conversion Initiative and Extreme-scale Computing Initiative • Leveraging efforts made on e-stomp with the new geomechanical capability / coordination with Steve Yabusaki ✓ • Prospective use by ECI of some of the tools developed by IS3 ✓ 16
Advisory Committee Comments (cont’d) • Enhance projects’ visibility; specifically, a rollout plan for IS3 and a long-term sustainability plan for GS3 may both be very useful; discuss the possibility of aggressively distributing GS3 as open source • Rollout plan in place for IS3 / fundingthrough ASCEM and new opportunitythrough EPA for GS3/ GS3willbedistributed as open source in FY12 ✓ • Pursue leadership in the community model effort • ASCEM ✓ • Identify business opportunities (hubs, centers, workshop series, annual conferences) for IS3 and GS3 and how to realize them; • Participation to several US and international conferences✓ • First contacts withUniversity of Texas EFRC and LBNL EFRC ✓ • Pursue a leadership role in NRAP. • NRAP isconsideringadopting GS3 as a collaborative platform✓ • Bonneville isrepresenting PNNL at the ExecutiveCommittee. ✓ 17

Anticipated Outcomes • External Visibility for PNNL in Geologic Sequestration • Minimum of 2-3 peer-reviewed publications per individual project or 30 to 40 publications • Minimum 3-6 presentations per project at professional meetings or 60-90 presentations • Professional activities: invited presentations, session organizer, appointments to influential committees • Capability Enhancement in Geologic Storage • GS3 used by Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships and selected international projects • New IS3 experimental capabilities lead to a PNNL-led research center • Expand external recognition of PNNL scientists in GS to 6-10 • 10 plus new hires • Programmatic Growth • $15-20M in new programmatic funding • PNNL involvement in large international projects 20
Main S&T accomplishments • World's first supercritical CO2Atomic Force Microscope developed at PNNL to withstand temperatures up to 350°K and pressures of 100 bar. Images and real-time film of the reaction of supercritical CO2with a hydrated calcite surface can be produced. • World's first high-pressure, high-temperature microfluidics flow cell for studying the injection of supercritical CO2 into deep saline aquifers and first observation of in situ precipitation of carbonate. • New pore-scale hybrid model for CO2 injection, entrapment and dissolution • GS3adopted as a collaborative data and knowledge management platform by a consortium of several US and foreign teams for reactive transport models comparison (SIMSEQ) and by the FutureGen 2.0 project. 21
