[2F05] The efforts for the application of micro bubble technology to CCS /CCUS(EOR)

In CCS / CCUS (EOR), optimization efforts are being made every day, such as maximizing CO2 storage and crude oil production, and reducing operating and equipment costs. Microbubbles (MB) are one of the fine bubbles (fine bubbles) with a diameter of 1 to 100 μm, and CCS / CCUS (EOR) such as decrease in bubble rise rate (buoyancy), increase in dissolution rate in fluid, and decrease in interfacial tension. It is a technology that can be expected to be applied to the field as a new technology. In this presentation, we will introduce our efforts and achievements regarding microbubble technology.
