Abstract
An apparatus comprises a sealing element for a carbon sequestration in a location that is within a subsurface formation, wherein the sealing element is composed of a non-polar elastomer blended and co-cured with a low temperature elastomer having a glass transition temperature that is lower than a glass transition temperature of the non-polar elastomer.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a sealing element for a carbon sequestration in a location that is within a subsurface formation, wherein the sealing element is composed of a non-polar elastomer blended and co-cured with a low temperature elastomer having a glass transition temperature that is lower than a glass transition temperature of the non-polar elastomer.
A method comprising:
- storing carbon below a cap rock in a subsurface formation via a wellbore formed in the subsurface formation;
- and
- performing carbon sequestration in the subsurface formation below the cap rock based on positioning a sealing element in the wellbore at a location below the cap rock, wherein the sealing element is composed of a non-polar elastomer blended and co-cured with a low temperature elastomer having a glass transition temperature that is lower than a glass transition temperature of the non-polar elastomer.
