Role of permeability evolution induced by CO2 injection on CO2 storage and CH4 production in a low permeability reservoir
CO2-injection induced geochemical reactions exert important influence on CO2 enhanced shale gas recovery by altering the shale porosity and permeability. This impact, however, has been seldomly quantified. To identify and quantify the role of CO2-water-rock reactions in the evolution of shale permeability and its influence on CH4 production and CO2 sequestration, a multi-components reactive transport model for low permeability media (10−22 - 10−18 m2) is established by coupling the geochemical and geomechanical effects of CO2 injection on rock porosity and permeability. The effect of CO2 dissolution and induced geochemical reactions on CH4 production and CO2 storage is then explored with experiments and numerical simulations. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify the uncertainties induced by the inherent shale and engineering factors. Results show that a very limited variation in porosity and permeability (<1 %) induced by the CO2-water-rock reactions could cause significant perturbation in CH4 production and CO2 sequestration in shale by controlling the pressure perturbation in the reservoir and the CO2 migration. These impacts dynamically change with the extent and degree of geochemical reactions (e.g. mineral dissolution/precipitation), with up to 17 % for CH4 production and 24 % for CO2 storage at the conditions considered in this study. High pressure-temperature (10–15 MPa, 40–80 °C), low matrix permeability (0.001–0.1 mD) and injection rate (0.05–0.2 kg/s) strengthen the influence by aggravating the degree of CO2-water-shale reaction. While high injection rate and matrix permeability can enhance the impact by promoting CO2 migration, they can also increase the leakage risk of CO2. This study provides the development of a practical methodology for the CO2 reactive transport modeling as well as the theoretical support for development of unconventional resources and CO2 storage in low permeable reservoirs.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Geology is an international journal that publishes original research papers on isotopic and elemental geochemistry, geochronology and cosmochemistry.
The Journal focuses on chemical processes in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, low- and high-temperature aqueous solutions, biogeochemistry, the environment and cosmochemistry.
Papers that are field, experimentally, or computationally based are appropriate if they are of broad international interest. The Journal generally does not publish papers that are primarily of regional or local interest, or which are primarily focused on remediation and applied geochemistry.
The Journal also welcomes innovative papers dealing with significant analytical advances that are of wide interest in the community and extend significantly beyond the scope of what would be included in the methods section of a standard research paper.
