USGS Produced Waters Database

 The produced water database presented at this web site is a revision of a database originally compiled at the DOE Fossil Energy Research Center that was located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The USGS modified the original database by removing redundancies, verifying internal consistency and adding information to the fields that describe the location, geologic setting, sample type, and major ion chemical composition. A preliminary version of the revised database, a description of the review methods and illustrations of the contained information are presented.

Infrared Absorption Spectra of H2SO4, SO3, SO2, and H2O at 300C and 350C

Mid infrared absorption spectra of sulfuric acid (H2SO4), sulfur trioxide (SO3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and water (H2O) were collected in a high temperature gas cell operating at either 300C or 350C. The spectra were collected using tunable external cavity quantum cascade lasers (ECQCLs) tuning, which were capable of operating over the wavelength range from approximately 7 microns to 9 microns, where H2SO4 and SO3 have their strongest absorption features. The spectra can be used as a library for developing gas sensors.

PSRI semi-circular fluid bed modeled with MFIX-Exa

MFIX-Exa was used to simulate PSRI's semi-circular fluidized bed with 1 mm ceramic particles. The bed is operated at incipient fluidization with two high-speed gas jets providing additional fluidization near the front of the bed. The CFD-DEM simulation models the jets with a flow-on-EB boundary condition and a calibrated Wen and Yu (1966) drag law. Particle data is saved within the first 10 particle diameters from the front of the bed and rendered into a photo-realistic animation with the open-source 3D creation suite, Blender (blender.org).

MFIX-Exa simulation of PSRI semi-circular FB

MFIX-Exa was used to simulate PSRI's semi-circular fluidized bed with opposing horizontal jets. The bed material is (nominally) 1 mm ceramic beads. The bed is fluidized by the distributor just above incipient fluidization. Additional fluidization is provided by the two lower jets operated at approximately 200 m/s. The jets were modeled in two ways: EB) the jets were resolved with embedded boundaries (EBs) extending to the domain extents and flow) the jets were modeled as flow-on-EB boundary conditions applied on the EB of the bed wall. Two drag laws were considered for each: Wen and Yu (1966) and Syamlal and O'Brien  (1987), both of which were calibrated to match minimum fluidization exactly. Ascent in situ visualization is used to capture three images which are rendered into the animations show 1) gas velocity magnitude and 2) volume fraction along a plane centered on the jets, located 10 fluid cells into the bed away from the front wall, and 3) gas velocity magnitude on contours of 85% gas volume fraction, roughly identifying bubble regions within the bed. Each show 5.9 seconds of simulated time after a 2 second initialization period and are played back at 1/4 real time. Of the four, the flow-WenYu case appears to best capture the experimental behavior. The results were presented at the 2022 APS Division of Fluid Dynamics Meeting.

Note: due to a directory not being initialized, the EB-WenYu case is shorter due to missing frames.

Passive Seismic Monitoring Tool (PSMT)

This NRAP tool is for optimal design of microseismic monitoring network using surface or borehole geophones. User inputs include 1D/3D velocity models, the geophone distribution area, and a target-monitoring region. The tool varies the geophone density in the geophone distribution area, and calculates the standard deviation errors of microseismic event locations as a function of the numbers of geophones within the geophone distribution area. The turning point of the curve of the standard deviation error versus the number of geophones corresponds to the number of the geophones and their distribution for optimal/cost-effective microseismic monitoring. This NRAP tool enables field operators of geologic carbon storage to design optimally a microseismic monitoring network using surface and/or borehole geophones for cost-effective microseismic monitoring.

The tool can run on Linux, Mac, and Windows operating systems (OS). After obtaining the latest build of the GUI w/logic PSMT_rcxxxxxxxx.zip, unzip/decompress the file in the designated directory to install the tool.

To run the GUI w/logic on Linux, Mac, or Windows OS, open up a command line terminal/console window and navigate to the root directory of the application, and run the java command to start the GUI: ” java -jar NRAP_PSMT.jar ”.

Designs for Risk Evaluation and Management (DREAM)

Designs for Risk Evaluation and Management, or DREAM, is a tool that generates and optimizes monitoring programs for detecting potential leaks from geological carbon storage. DREAM analyzes outputs from full-physics simulators, geophysical models, or reduced order models and uses probabilistic and heuristic algorithms to identify the best monitoring network based on user-defined objectives and constraints.

DREAM is a tool for leakage monitoring design and optimization at geological carbon storage (GCS) sites. The National Risk Assessment Partnership’s (NRAP’s) DREAM tool was developed to assist in the design of effective and efficient GCS leakage monitoring networks (Yonkofski et al., 2016, 2019). DREAM searches the solution space for ensembles of leakage simulations to find the optimal monitoring design to minimize objectives, such as time to leak detection, cost, and percent of leaks detected. To accomplish this, DREAM uses a computationally-efficient simulated annealing approach that interactively mutates potential monitoring schemes. The tool can accept simulation output from full-physics numerical simulators, reduced-order models, or from integrated assessment models generated in NRAP-OPEN-IAM. It can account for spatial and temporal monitoring constraints, limitations in monitoring technology detection capability, and budget constraints (cost or monitoring equipment availability). Recent demonstrations of coupled application of DREAM and NRAP-Open-IAM highlights the value of effective monitoring design to build confidence in GCS containment effectiveness and to support justification for early site closure (Bacon et al., 2019).
