Experimental Evidence for Self-Limiting Reactive Flow through a Fractured Cement Core: Implications for Time-Dependent Wellbore Leakage

Journal Article Huerta, Nicolas J ; Hesse, Marc A ; Bryant, Steven L ; ... - ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

We present a set of reactive transport experiments in cement fractures. The experiments simulate coupling between flow and reaction when acidic, CO{sub 2}-rich fluids flow along a leaky wellbore. An analog dilute acid with a pH between 2.0 and 3.15 was injected at constant rate between 0.3 and 9.4 cm/s into a fractured cement core. Pressure differential across the core and effluent pH were measured to track flow path evolution, which was analyzed with electron microscopy after injection. In many experiments reaction was restricted within relatively narrow, tortuous channels along the fracture surface. The observations are consistent with coupling betweenmore »« less

Potential CO2 and brine leakage through wellbore pathways for geologic CO2 sequestration using the National Risk Assessment Partnership tools: Application to the Big Sky Regional Partnership

Journal Article Onishi, Tsubasa ; Nguyen, Minh C. ; Carey, J. William ; ... - International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control

Geologic CO₂ sequestration (GCS) has received high-level attention from the global scientific community as a response to climate change due to higher concentrations of CO₂ in the atmosphere. However, GCS in saline aquifers poses certain risks including CO₂/brine leakage through wells or non-sealing faults into groundwater or to the earth's surface. Understanding crucial reservoir parameters and other geologic features affecting the likelihood of these leakage occurrences will aid the decision-making process regarding GCS operations. In this study, we develop a science-based methodology for quantifying risk profiles at geologic CO₂ sequestration sites as part of US DOE's National Risk Assessment Partnershipmore »« less

Wellbore cement fracture evolution at the cement–basalt caprock interface during geologic carbon sequestration

Journal Article Jung, Hun Bok ; Kabilan, Senthil ; Carson, James P. ; ... - Applied Geochemistry, 47:1-16

Composite Portland cement-basalt caprock cores with fractures, as well as neat Portland cement columns, were prepared to understand the geochemical and geomechanical effects on the integrity of wellbores with defects during geologic carbon sequestration. The samples were reacted with CO2-saturated groundwater at 50 ºC and 10 MPa for 3 months under static conditions, while one cement-basalt core was subjected to mechanical stress at 2.7 MPa before the CO2 reaction. Micro-XRD and SEM-EDS data collected along the cement-basalt interface after 3-month reaction with CO2-saturated groundwater indicate that carbonation of cement matrix was extensive with the precipitation of calcite, aragonite, and vaterite,more »« less

Dataset documenting reaction-induced changes to five fractured foamed wellbore cement cores during CO2 fluid flow

Dataset Gill, Magdalena ; Moore, Johnathan ; Spaulding, Richard ; ...

This dataset consists of reconstructed CT scans for four fractured foamed cement cores, generated in the lab using Portland Class H cement, and associated processed data. The cements were exposed to reactive brines, and CT scans were take at different time points through the experiment. The CT imaging allows for the tracking of dissolution-induced changes to fracture morphology, as well as alteration and dissolution in the cement matrix.
