Summary

A time-dependent form of Darcy’s Law was used to model pressure-driven fluid flow within homogeneous, isotropic, low-permeability carrier beds exhibiting a broad range of rock and fluid properties likely encountered in a variety of sedimentary sequences (Burke, 2022). In the study by Burke (2022), thermodynamic equations of state were used to determine thermophysical properties of supercritical pore fluids under reservoir pressures from 0–200 MPa (0–29,000 psi). This Data Release disseminates the numerical data tables for the Darcy flow timescales and velocities of methane and supercritical carbon dioxide used in that study.

Purpose

Quantifying Darcy flow velocities has direct applications in geologic carbon sequestration for: (1) estimating CO2 plume velocity within the containment formation, (2) determining the distance a CO2 plume can be expected to travel within a containment formation during a given period of time, and (3) evaluating formations based on permeability flow units for geologic sequestration and long-term storage of carbon dioxide greenhouse gas. Additionally, quantifying the Darcy flow velocity of methane within a carrier bed is important in petroleum systems modeling. The timing of methane migration from the source to reservoir is important to quantify in relation to other geologic factors such as the timing of petroleum generation, fault movement, and seal formation.
