    摘要: System and method for the optimized production of hydrocarbons from shale oil reservoirs via cyclic injection to achieve an improved and optimal recovery of oil. The method can determine and optimize the composition of injected fluids to be injected, the rate, pressure and duration of injection, the production rate and pressure of produced fluids; can determine and utilize the optimum number of injection and production cycles; can determine the amount of soaking time (if any); and can determine the equipment design and operating characteristics to provide for the optimized injection of injection fluids, and the separation of produced fluids for both reinjection and delivery to sales or storage.

    摘要: A dispersion of capsules in critical or supercritical carbon dioxide is provided. The capsules include an aqueous solution encapsulated by covalent organic framework particles. Also provided is a method of making a dispersion of aqueous solution capsules. The method includes providing a medium of critical or supercritical carbon dioxide, introducing the aqueous solution into the critical or supercritical carbon dioxide medium, and introducing a covalent organic framework particle into the critical or supercritical carbon dioxide medium. Associated methods of using the disclosed dispersions in hydrocarbon-bearing formations are also provided.

    摘要: A method of subsurface sequestration of CO2 in a subsurface formation, the method including: producing formation water and hydrocarbons from a first well located within the first region while concurrently injecting an aqueous CO2 solution into a second well located within the second region, wherein the subsurface formation comprises a first region and a second region, the first region and the second region being fluidly connected, and the second region is at a greater depth than the first region and comprises at least one of the subsurface sequestration locations; and allowing the aqueous CO2 solution to sink as a negatively buoyant fluid below the formation water and the hydrocarbons, thereby sequestering the CO2 in the second region of the subsurface formation and wherein the aqueous CO2 solution has a greater density than the formation water and the hydrocarbons, making the aqueous CO2 solution negatively buoyant in the subsurface formation.
