Abstract

This work presents a detailed supercritical CO₂ storage resource estimation for the stacked basalt reservoirs in the Grande Ronde Basalt of the Columbia River Basalt Group in eastern Washington and Oregon. The assessment aims to derisk the commercialization potential of geologic carbon storage in basalt by leveraging both structural and mineralization trapping of CO₂ in basalt. The structural closures formed by anticlinal ridges and synclinal valleys in Yakima Fold Belt are excellent physical traps to accommodate injected supercritical CO₂. Rigorous hydraulic testing, well logs and simulation results from the Wallula Basalt Pilot #1 well showed the occurrence of 17 suitable permeable injection zones (up to 2,496 mD) intercalated with dense seals (∼2.6E-10 mD) in the Grand Ronde Basalt. In addition, geochemical studies showed fast reactions between supercritical CO₂ and dissolved basalt minerals to form stable carbonates. Our calculation indicates up to 40 gigatons (P90) of mineralization storage resources exist in the Grande Ronde Basalt reservoirs.

哥伦比亚河叠层玄武岩储层中千兆吨级商业规模的碳储存和成矿潜力

这项研究对华盛顿州东部和俄勒冈州哥伦比亚河玄武岩群格兰德隆德玄武岩中的叠层玄武岩储层进行了详细的超临界二氧化碳封存资源评估。该评估旨在利用玄武岩中二氧化碳的结构和矿化捕集作用，对玄武岩中地质碳封存的商业化潜力进行风险评估。雅基玛褶皱带中的反斜脊和合谷所形成的结构闭合是极好的物理捕集器，可以容纳注入的超临界二氧化碳。瓦卢拉玄武岩试验 1 号井的严格水力测试、测井记录和模拟结果表明，在大龙德玄武岩中存在 17 个与致密封层（2.6E-10 mD）相交错的合适渗透注入区（高达 2,496 mD）。此外，地球化学研究表明，超临界二氧化碳与溶解的玄武岩矿物之间会发生快速反应，形成稳定的碳酸盐。我们的计算表明，大龙德玄武岩储层中存在多达 40 千兆吨（P90）的矿化储存资源。
