• Economic modeling of carbon dioxide integrated pipeline network for enhanced oil recovery and geologic sequestration in the Texas Gulf Coast region 

  Essandoh-Yeddu, Joseph; Gülen, Gürcan (9th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT-9), 2008-11-16)

  Naturally occurring CO2 is transported via pipelines to oil fields in West Texas to enhance production. A similar pipeline system is proposed for the Gulf Coast region of Texas. The CO2 would come from anthropogenic ...

• Economic analysis of an integrated anthropogenic carbon dioxide network for capture and enhanced oil recovery along the Texas Gulf Coast 

  King, Carey W.; Gülen, Gürcan; Essandoh-Yeddu, Joseph; Hovorka, Susan (Proceedings of the ASME 3rd International Conference on Energy Sustainability, 2009-07-19)

• Analytical model of leakage through fault to overlying formations 

  Zeidouni, Mehdi (2012)

  A fault is generally composed of a fault core surrounded by damage zones and can accommodate both lateral and vertical flow. In this paper we develop an analytical model to evaluate the leakage rate through a fault and ...
