Quantifying the potential exposure hazard due to energetic releases of CO2 from a failed sequestration well
2009
Energy Procedia
Wells are designed to bring fluids from depth to the earth's surface quickly. As such they are the most likely pathway for CO 2 to return to the surface in large quantities and present a hazard without adequate management. We surveyed oil industry experience of CO 2 well failures, and separately, calculated the maximal CO 2 flow rate from a 5000 ft depth supercritical CO 2 reservoir. The calculated maximum of 20,000 tonne/day was set by the sound speed and the seven-inch well casing diameter,
