Permeability evolution of reservoir rocks interacting with CO2/brine under CO2 sequestration conditions

OSTI ID:1868069
The Mount Simon formation in the Midwest region of the U.S. is considered as a potential candidate host reservoir for carbon storage. Obtaining knowledge of possible geochemically induced changes to the permeability and porosity of host CO2 storage sandstone will enable us to gain a deeper insight of the long-term reservoir behavior under the CO2 storage conditions. An experimental study of the interaction of CO2/brine/rock on saline formations in a static system under CO2 storage conditions was conducted.
