The Sixth International Acid Gas Injection Symposium (AGIS VI) was held in Houston, Texas, in September 2016. As with previous Symposia, the focus of AGIS VI was the injection of acid gas (CO2, H2S, and mixtures of these components) for the purposes of disposal or for enhanced oil and/or gas recovery. This book contains select papers from the Symposium in Houston.
The capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas and its disposal into a subsurface geological formation remains a viable option for the clean use of hydrocarbon fuels. The related technology is acid gas injection. Here the H2S and CO2 are removed from raw natural gas. This volume contains papers directly related to these two topics ranging from the physical properties of the gas mixtures, evaluation of new and existing solvents, and subsurface engineering aspects of the process. Furthermore, contributors came from Canada, Europe, and China, as well as from the host country, the United States. And this is reflected in the papers in this volume.
On a very sad note, Marco Satyro passed away on September 8, 2016, just prior to the Symposium. Marco was a good friend of AGIS being an active member of the Technical Committee for many years. He contributed many papers and encouraged many others to participate. At the first AGIS he presented the paper “The Performance of State of the Art Industrial Thermodynamic Models for the Correlation and Prediction of Acid Gas Solubility in Water” and this paper appeared in the first volume of the Advances in Natural Gas Engineering. He also was the coauthor of several other contributions to the Series and they are listed below. This volume is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Satyro.
