Unconventional Carbon Dioxide Management, Utilization, and Modelling

Unconventional Carbon Dioxide Management, Utilization, and Modelling addresses the growing need for effective carbon dioxide (CO₂) management strategies to support decarbonization and climate mitigation goals. As interest in carbon capture, storage, and utilization expands, shale reservoirs present significant but underexplored opportunities for long-term CO₂ sequestration and enhanced resource recovery. This reference bridges a critical knowledge gap by examining the role of unconventional formations in CO₂ management and utilization. The book presents the latest methodologies, technologies, and research advances related to CO₂ storage and use in shale reservoirs. Coverage includes geological, geochemical, and geophysical controls on CO₂ behavior, reservoir characterization, sequestration mechanisms, modeling approaches, and emerging technologies. It also examines operational challenges, technical limitations, and opportunities for optimizing storage performance and resource recovery in unconventional formations. Unconventional Carbon Dioxide Management, Utilization, and Modelling enables researchers, engineers, energy professionals, and policymakers to evaluate and implement effective CO₂ management solutions. By integrating multidisciplinary perspectives and practical methodologies, it supports informed decision-making for carbon management initiatives and advances efforts toward sustainable energy systems and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
