  8. S&T challenges • Understand ScCO2 reactions and mechanisms under high P, T and the relevant time-scales for permeability variations, fracture opening and self-sealing • Accelerate the translation of data into scientific understanding and prediction while improving the accessibility and use of advanced simulators

  9. Objectives Accelerate the safe deployment of geologic sequestration with underpinning basic science in geochemistry and subsurface flow and transport. • Major role of PNNL in understanding the behavior of supercritical CO2 in deep geo­logic reservoirs • Develop and ensure the accuracy of kinetic data and reaction mechanisms for the reservoir simulations • Develop new modeling tools (geomechanics, co-sequestration, uncertainty quantification) • Develop an open source data and knowledge management platform (GS3) that will be widely used • Advise DOE on research and development needs for carbon sequestration • Help EPA and regulators managing the carbon storage sites

  10. Science Impacts all Phases of a Geologic Sequestration Project Site Characterization Construction High Injection & Monitoring Closure & Long-Term Monitoring • Geochemistry: Understand reactions & trapping mechanisms to increase the accuracy of the simulation, reduce the cost of monitoring and hasten closure • Computational Subsurface Science: Science-based simulators will continue to advance & their increasing complexity, combined with monitoring data will require HPC • Integrated Tools: manage storage sites, validate model, help design monitoring systems. Cost Uncertainty Low 30-50 100 3-7 Time (years)

  11. Approach 3 focus areas, 15 projects, 40 researchers, ~$15M over 5 years. Ian Gorton Tim Scheibe Kevin Rosso

  12. Approach (cont’d) • An experimental suite – In Situ Supercritical Suite (IS3): • Probe reactions under supercritical conditions • Processes that impact the integrity of the caprock • Geochemistry of co-sequestration • A modeling suite – Modelling Schemes for Subsurface Sequestration (MS3): • Represent chemistry in simulators when CO2 is the solvating fluid • Full coupling of geochemistry, hydrology, and geomechanics within simulators • Transition from equations of fluid flow (Navier-Stokes flow) in an individual pore to the Darcy equation at larger scales • A computational platform – Geologic Sequestration Software Suite (GS3): • Accelerate the translation of data into scientific understanding and, in turn, prediction and simulation • Improve accessibility and use of advanced simulators • 3-D visualization & parameter estimation environment

  13. Time-Phased workflow of projects 13

  14. Response to 2010 AC Recommendations 14

  15. Advisory Committee Comments • Ties of Tartakovsky and Oostrom projects to programmatic objectives are unclear. • Creation of the 3rd focus area MS3 ✓ • For the FY 2011 projects, address the issues of uncertainty quantification and geomechanics modeling capabilities; • New geomechanical project in MS3 ✓ • New UQ and RA pipeline project in GS3 ✓ • Reduced emphasis on co-sequestration, or at least clear acknowledgement that co-sequestration will likely never be implemented in the U.S., but only internationally (e.g., China); • Project clearlyoriented to the cooperationwith China ✓ • Extension to oxycombustion type mixtures (FutureGen 2.0)✓ 15

  16. Advisory Committee Comments (cont’d) • For the proposed project microbial impact R&D, examine the need and potential for such a project to justify going forward. • Project not considered for funding in CSI ✓ • In general, go into more depth than broaden the initiative’s scope. Focus more resources on existing programs rather than create new ones; • Creation of the Loring project in IS3 ✓ • Extension of the core-frameworkdevelopmentproject in GS3 ✓ • Aggressively pursue leading roles for CSI in the Energy Conversion Initiative and Extreme-scale Computing Initiative • Leveraging efforts made on e-stomp with the new geomechanical capability / coordination with Steve Yabusaki ✓ • Prospective use by ECI of some of the tools developed by IS3 ✓ 16

  17. Advisory Committee Comments (cont’d) • Enhance projects’ visibility; specifically, a rollout plan for IS3 and a long-term sustainability plan for GS3 may both be very useful; discuss the possibility of aggressively distributing GS3 as open source • Rollout plan in place for IS3 / fundingthrough ASCEM and new opportunitythrough EPA for GS3/ GS3willbedistributed as open source in FY12 ✓ •  Pursue leadership in the community model effort • ASCEM ✓ • Identify business opportunities (hubs, centers, workshop series, annual conferences) for IS3 and GS3 and how to realize them; • Participation to several US and international conferences✓ • First contacts withUniversity of Texas EFRC and LBNL EFRC ✓ • Pursue a leadership role in NRAP. • NRAP isconsideringadopting GS3 as a collaborative platform✓ • Bonneville isrepresenting PNNL at the ExecutiveCommittee. ✓ 17
