CO trapping dynamics in tight sandstone: Insights into trapping mechanisms in Mae Moh's reservoir.

The reliance on fossil fuels is a major contributor to increased anthropogenic CO emissions, driving global challenges such as climate change through the greenhouse effect. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a promising interdisciplinary technology aimed at mitigating these emissions by securely sequestering gigatons of CO. This study focuses on the feasibility of storing point-source CO emissions in saline formations, with a particular emphasis on the Mae Moh coal-fired power plant in Lampang, Thailand, which is located near its associated coal mine.

Geomechanics contribution to CO storage containment and trapping mechanisms in tight sandstone complexes: A case study on Mae Moh Basin.

Recognized as a not-an-option approach to mitigate the climate crisis, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has a potential as much as gigaton of CO to sequestrate permanently and securely. Recent attention has been paid to store highly concentrated point-source CO into saline formation, of which Thailand considers one onshore case in the north located in Lampang - the Mae Moh coal-fired power plant matched with its own coal mine of Mae Moh Basin. Despite a large basin and short transport route from the source, target sandstone reservoir buried at deeper than 1000 m is of tight nature and limited data, while question on storing possibility has thereafter risen.

Ecofriendly Natural Surfactants in the Oil and Gas Industry: A Comprehensive Review.

The use of different types of chemicals in upstream oilfield operations is critical for optimizing the different operations involved in hydrocarbon exploration and production. Surfactants are a type chemical that are applied in various upstream operations, such as drilling, fracturing, and enhanced oil recovery. However, due to their nonbiodegradability and toxicity, the use of synthetic surfactants has raised environmental concerns.
