The Cambrian Mount Simon Sandstone is the major target reservoir for ongoing geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration demonstrations throughout midwest United States. potential CO2 capacity, reactivity, and ultimate fate of injected depend on textural compositional properties determined by depositional diagenetic histories that vary vertically laterally across formation. Effective efficient prediction use available pore space requires detailed knowledge textures mineralogy, how these...
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ultra-small-angle (USANS) have been used to study a carbonate rock from deep saline aquifer that is potential candidate as storage reservoir for CO 2 sequestration. A new methodology developed estimating the fraction of accessible inaccessible pore volume using SANS/USANS measurements. This method does not require achievement zero average contrast calculation fraction. The intensity at high Q increases with increasing pressure, in low- behaviour...
ABSTRACT The successful implementation of geologic carbon sequestration depends on the careful evaluation petrophysical characteristics storage reservoir. Two properties, porosity and permeability, constrain reservoir in terms its potential injectivity. These two key parameters may vary significantly scale within a Likewise, analytical tools that are useful for measuring these properties also only assess pores given scale. In this investigation, 52 rock samples consist carbonates having high...
The Mount Simon Sandstone (Cambrian) has significant potential for use as a reservoir geologic carbon sequestration in the Midwest region, but lithologic variations within unit remain poorly understood. Petrophysical heterogeneities controlled by changes and diagenetic character challenge process of estimating storage capacity this reservoir. Geophysical logs from wells across region were interpreted to define three lithostratigraphic subunits Sandstone: an upper that relatively high...
The stress regime in the Illinois Basin was investigated to assess how rock column might respond injection of fluids, including coproduced formation brines and supercritical CO2.This response is a concern because practices could increase pore fluid pressure potentially induce seismicity. Data were collected determine magnitude orientation three-component field: vertical (Sv) minimum (Sh) maximum (SH) horizontal stresses. Sv evaluated with six-layer lithostratigraphic column. A two-layer...
The Eau Claire Formation of the midwestern United States was evaluated for its potential use as a confining unit (seal) overlying sandstone reservoir to securely store injected . This evaluation included: (1) lithofacies composition and distribution, (2) capillary entry pressure analysis, (3) fluid- fracture-pressure analysis. regional distribution in by examination core log data from selected wells across study area. Log were used define electro-lithofacies, which are spatially variable...
To meet the ambitious goals of both United States and China for advancing deployment Carbon Capture Utilization Storage technology will require an improved understanding magnitude geographical distribution carbon geologic storage (CGS) resources. Evaluation CGS resources fractional component practical capacity is thus a major focus research in nations. In this paper, our purpose to carefully evaluate sources uncertainty that propagate into regional-scale resource estimates assess extent...
Optical image analysis (OIA) allows a quantitative characterization of pore space measured through thin sections. Together with petrographic studies, by using optical microscopy (OpM), OIA could provide reproducible sedimentary rocks in applications related to the geological storage CO2. This research is focused on application technique measure porosity section samples sandstones from Spain before and after CO2 injection supercritical (SC) conditions autoclave (P ≈ 7.5 MPa T 35 °C). The aim...
Abstract To better understand injection and post‐injection flow processes the entrapment of supercritical CO 2 during geological carbon sequestration in a carbonate reservoir, pore system was analyzed 66 Cambrian‐Ordovician samples from several locations midwestern USA. This work employed standard microphotography thin sections, helium porosimetry for porosity permeability, mercury capillary pressure analysis, aiming to which elements dominantly control overall storage potential subsurface....
For over a decade governments and researchers around the world have been working to estimate magnitude distribution of resources available for storage carbon dioxide in deep saline formations (DSF). Although Carbon Capture, Utilization Storage (CCUS) technology considers conventional oil gas reservoirs unconventional as important options with potential revenue streams, DSF are considered essential storing significant volumes CO2 necessary achieve effective greenhouse mitigation. Results date...
