Abstract:
Through the innovative combination of CO
2 capture in the coal chemical industry and oil reservoir CO
2 storage, Yanchang Petroleum has realized multiple benefits such as clean utilization of coal, carbon emission reduction, and crude oil production increase, and explored a new path for low-carbon development of coal chemical industry. The whole process integration technology and field practice of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) from Yanchang Petroleum are systematically presented. For CO
2 capture, the low-temperature methanol washing and low-cost CO
2 capture technology of the coal chemical industry has been formed. The CO
2 capture cost is 105 yuan/t, and the capture demonstration scale is
300000t/a. For CO
2 storage, the storage site selection and potential evaluation methods are established. The evaluation results showed that the theoretical CO
2 storage capacity of the oilfield is 8.84×10
8 t, and the suitable storage area is mainly distributed in the west of the oilfield. In addition, the evolution laws of CO
2 storage state across the time scale of storage are revealed. Under the water-gas alternation scenario, the proportions of CO
2 storage capacity for structure, residual, solubility and mineral trapping corresponding to 10 years and 100 years is 24.38%, 27.19%, 48.38%, and 0.05%; and 15.09%, 38.65%, 45.77% and 0.49%, respectively. Then the sealing evaluation methods of the caprocks are created. It is specified that the Chang 4+5 cap layer in the Huaziping CO
2 sequestration test area mainly belongs to type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ. Finally, a “Trinity” CO
2 safety monitoring system is established. The results of safety monitoring show that, there is no CO
2 geological leakage in the test area and the safety level of CO
2 storage is Ⅰ. The safe and effective storage capacity of CO
2 is 10.12×10
4 t in the field application. The technology of CO
2 capture in the coal chemical industry and reservoir CO
2 storage has achieved good effects of carbon reduction and crude oil production increase in field practice.
