Modeling gas–rock–water interactions in carbon dioxide storage capacity assessment: a case study of Jurassic sandstones in Poland
Labus, K.; Tarkowski, R. & Wdowin, M.
Abstract
This paper presents the results of the modeling
of gas–rock–water interactions for reservoir formation of
one of potential geological carbon dioxide storage sites in
the Polish Lowlands (Chabowo Anticline). The modeling
performed with the use of a geochemical simulator was
preceded by mineralogic-petrographical and petrophysical
analysis of sandstones sampled together with pore water at
the depths of 856–857 and 1,240–1,241 m. The study
focused on determining the changes in rock matrix and
reservoir parameters that take place as a result of carbon
dioxide injection, and on the assessment of the formation
suitability for carbon dioxide storage. The results have
shown that in the analyzed gas–rock–water systems, in the
modeled period of 20,000 years, the minerals able to trap
carbon dioxide are calcite and dolomite. Mineral-trapping
capacity of carbon dioxide, calculated for the sandstones
considered, equals to 9.19 and 12.0 kg per one cubic meter
of the formation.
