Products of several currently operated production facilities (Bovanenkovskoye, Urengoyskoye oil and gas condensate fields, etc.) contain an increased amount of corrosive CO2. Effect of CO2 on the corrosion of steel infrastructure facilities is determined by the conditions of its use. Carbon dioxide has a potentially wide range of applications at oil and gas facilities for solving technological problems (during production, transportation, storage, etc.). Each of the aggregate states of CO2 (gas, liquid and supercritical) is used and affects the corrosion state of oil and gas facilities. Article analyzes the results of simulation tests and evaluates the corrosion effect of CO2 on typical steels (carbon, low-alloy and alloyed) used at field facilities. The main factors influencing the intensity of carbonic acid corrosion processes in the main conditions of hydrocarbon production with CO2, storage and its use for various technological purposes are revealed. Development of carbon dioxide corrosion is accompanied and characterized by the localization of corrosion and the formation of defects (pitting, pits, etc.). Even alloyed steels are not always resistant in the presence of moisture and increased partial pressures of CO2, especially in the presence of additional factors of corrosive influence (temperature, aggressive impurities in gas, etc.).

At the present stage of gas field development, the products of many mining facilities have increased content of corrosive CO2 . The corrosive effect of CO2 on steel equipment and pipelines is determined by the conditions of its use. CO2 has a potentially wide range of usage at oil and gas facilities for solving technological problems (during production, transportation, storage, etc.). Simulation tests and analysis were carried out to assess the corrosion effect of CO2 on typical steels (carbon, low-alloy and alloyed) used at field facilities. Gas production facilities demonstrate several corrosion formation zones: lower part of the pipe (when moisture accumulates) and top of the pipe (in case of moisture condensation). The authors have analyzed the main factors influencing the intensity of carbon dioxide corrosion processes at hydrocarbon production with CO2 , its storage and use for various technological purposes. The main mechanism for development of carbon dioxide corrosion is presence/condensation of moisture, which triggers the corrosion process, including the formation of local defects (pits, etc.). X-ray diffraction was used for the analysis of corrosion products formed on the steel surface, which can have different protective characteristics depending on the phase state (amorphous or crystalline).

Experiments are described which emphasize the importance of avoiding loss of carbon dioxide when estimating the pH or bicarbonate concentration of ruminal fluid. The high pCO2 of ruminal fluid is stressed; this may be 10 times or more as great as that of arterial blood. The relationship between pCO2, pH, and [HCO3-] was examined in terms of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation over a wide range of pCO2. From this, the pK1' of the carbonic acid system in four ruminal fluids was determined as 6.21-6.28, mean 6.25. The higher pH of saliva-free samples of ruminal fluid withdrawn by suction through a tube passed down the oesophagus, as compared with that of the bulk fluid obtained through a ruminal fistula, is considered to be due to loss of carbon dioxide during collection. A better estimate of intraruminal pH is obtained, even when salivary contamination occurs, if such samples are equilibrated with a sample of the animal's ruminal gas; if this is not practicable, an arbitrary gas mixture of high pCO2, e.g. 50 per cent. carbon dioxide and nitrogen, may be used.

The current state of the oil and gas industry of Ukraine and the possibility of increasing the hydrocarbon base due to the introduction of fields with compacted reservoirs, which contain significant gas resources. Some methods of intensification of wells that are used in Ukraine, such as hydraulic fracturing and the GasGun method, are considered. Their main shortcomings are given: unforeseen situations of depressurization of the water horizon, use of large volumes of water, utilization of process water, incomplete release of rupture fluid from the reservoir, swelling and hydration of clay components of the reservoir, impossibility of use at extremely high temperatures and pressures. The world modern technologies based on the action of inert gases in hydrocarbon production are covered. Studies on the application of anhydrous rock breaks and intensification methods using inert gases are analyzed. The application of the method of pneumatic compaction of coal seams in Ukraine with the use of flue gases for the release of methane and degassing of coal mines is presented. Modern studies on the use of liquid nitrogen and liquefied carbon dioxide as fracturing agents with rocks with low filtration–capacity properties are presented. The main advantages of using nitrogen, liquefied and supercritical carbon dioxide as reservoir decompression agents are presented. It is proposed to study the method of pneumatic compaction on different samples of rocks in the laboratory using various agents and surfactants, select the appropriate reagents and develop technology for pneumatic rupture of hydrocarbon reservoirs as a cheap and environmentally friendly alternative to existing methods.

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CSS) is alternative of reducing atmospheric emissions of CO2. The concepts of CO2 storage refer to the injection of carbon dioxide in dense form into aquifers, which basically must meet several conditions. Three types of geological formations that can be used for the geological storage of CO2 are oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline formations and unmineable coal beds. Indonesia has 60 Tertiary basins, however that great precautions must be taken for selecting particular sedimentary basin in Indonesia for carbon dioxide storage because of high possibility of leakage and the need to find deep formations as CO2 host since the geothermal gradient is high. One possibility to find proper basins is by selected “mature” basin as the detailed geological conditions are well known. Candidates are are North East Java or South Sumatra Basins. Keywords: Carbon dioxide capture, storage, emission, basin.

The permanent underground storage of large quantities of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from thermal energy and industrial plant is widely recognised as a fundamental tool which can help to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. To achieve this effectiveness, it will require widespread global deployment in a new industry which would rival the current oil and gas industry in its scale and ambition. Many of the technologies for carbon dioxide storage are the adaptations of oil and gas technology, but there are some important differences. These arise from:  1. the thermodynamic properties of carbon dioxide,  2. the essential requirement for long-term storage site integrity,  3. the absence of an established and mature business model for the industry and  4. the contrasting regulatory environments between carbon capture and storage and oil and gas extraction. Whilst the underground injection of carbon dioxide can truly be considered a proven technology, there are a range of engineering challenges to achieve this in a safe and cost effective manner. This paper sets out to explore some of these challenges and concludes with a view of what next steps are required to progress carbon dioxide storage effectively within the UK.  • The challenges of injecting carbon dioxide into offshore subsurface reservoirs:    ^ Arrival processing (heating before injection)    ^ Injectivity assessment – how many wells?    ^ Platform or subsea?    ^ Well design for long service operations and monitoring  • The challenges of forecasting reservoir and injection performance within porous and permeable storage reservoirs:    ^ Issues influencing carbon dioxide storage capacity    ^ Assuring storage site containment integrity    ^ Geology and engineering – uncertainty and risk  • Where has the industry got to and what are the practical next steps?

Summary Understanding carbon dioxide (CO2) storage capacity and flow behavior in shale reservoirs is important for the performance of both CO2-related improved oil recovery (IOR) and enhanced gas recovery (EGR) and of carbon sequestration. However, the literature lacks sufficient experimental data and a deep understanding of CO2 permeability and storage capacity in shale reservoirs under a wide range of pressure. In this study, we aimed to fill this gap by investigating and comparing CO2-transport mechanisms in shale reservoirs under low- and high-pressure conditions. Nearly 40 pressure-pulse-transmission tests were performed with CO2, helium (He), and nitrogen (N2) for comparison. Tests were conducted under constant effective stress with multistage increased pore pressures (0 to 2,000 psi) and constant temperature. The gas-adsorption capacity for CO2 and N2 was measured in terms of both Gibbs and absolute adsorption. Afterward, the gas apparent permeability was calculated incorporating various flow mechanisms before the adsorption-free permeability was estimated to evaluate the adsorption contribution to the gas-transport efficiency. The results indicate that He permeability is the highest among the three types of gas, and the characteristic of CO2 petrophysical properties differs from the other two types of gas in shale reservoirs. CO2 apparent porosity and apparent permeability both decline sharply across the phase-change region. The adsorbed phase significantly increases the apparent porosity, which is directly measured from the pulse-decay experiment; it contributes positively to the low-pressure CO2 permeability but negatively to the high-pressure CO2 permeability.

In Gazprom dobycha Urengoy LLC, as in other oil-and-gas production enterprises, there are problems of increased equipment wear due to corrosion. A special role there plays CO2 corrosion. Despite the homogeneity of the extracted fluid and even chemical composition of the working medium, the nature and intensity of corrosion damage to pipelines and equipment varies over a wide range, due to different thermobaric parameters of well operation. To determine parameters influencing the rate of corrosion most different methods of statistical analysis were used. The paper provides a methodology for compiling a mathematical model and assessing its reliability. As a result, the equation of carbon dioxide corrosion in relation to the conditions of Achimov deposits of Urengoy oil, gas and condensate field was obtained. The type of the obtained equation was chosen according to the model of the classical de Waard-Milliams carbon dioxide corrosion equation. The model proposed by the authors describes the processes of carbon dioxide corrosion more reliably than the de Waard-Milliams equation does. The disadvantage of the developed model is that it does not reliably describe the speed of corrosion in wells with corrosion rates, significantly exceeding the average values for all wells studied.
