Abstract: A CO2 sequestration system sequesters carbon dioxide as carbon dioxide hydrate in offshore saline aquifers. The system includes an offshore aquifer in a tropical region. A plurality of wellbores are positioned inside or around a perimeter of the aquifer. The CO2 may be injected into the aquifer via separate injectors located in the wellbores connected to the aquifer while aquifer water or brine is produced from one or more of the other wellbores and provided to the aquifer. Injection of the CO2 into and production of water from the offshore aquifer at separately timed intervals may maintain the reservoir pressure below the reservoir fracture pressure and the hydrate formation pressure so that the CO2 may be stored as carbon dioxide hydrate within the aquifer. Depending on the specific output desired, the aquifer may be positioned either straddling or within a hydrate stability zone. A method for sequestering CO2 uses the aforementioned system to carry out CO2 sequestration.
