Sources and concentrations of methane, ethane, and CO2 in deep aquifers of the Surat Basin, Great Artesian Basin

J. K. Pearce et al.

Summary: Understanding the occurrence and sources of methane in aquifers is crucial, especially in areas with oil and gas reservoirs. Multi-isotopic studies play a vital role in understanding the sources and concentrations of dissolved gases in aquifers, which are important for future energy storage and utilization. The Great Artesian Basin in Australia, specifically the Precipice and Hutton sandstones in the Surat Basin, serves as a significant water resource but also hosts gas extraction and potential CO2 storage sites, making it essential to comprehend the gas concentrations, processes, and sources for effective management.

Application of automated mineralogy in petroleum geology and development and CO2 sequestration: A review

Changqing Fu et al.

Summary: Automated Mineralogy (AM) is a semi-automatic mineralogical tool that uses a scanning electron micrography-energy dispersion spectrometry (SEM-EDS) platform. It can analyze sedimentary environments, diagenetic evolution processes, and evaluate oil and gas reservoirs. The combination of AM and CT scanning can improve the accuracy of mineral distribution and be applied to study fluid reactive transport effects.

Assessment of the oxygen reactivity in a gas storage facility by multiphase reactive transport modeling of field data for air injection into a sandstone reservoir in the Paris Basin, France

Irina Sin et al.

Summary: The first objective of this study is to present unique field data on a three-year pilot test of air injection into a natural gas reservoir, showing that oxygen was fully depleted several months after injection completion, while CO2(g) and sulfates increased temporarily but gradually returned to the near initial state. The second objective is to develop a multiphase reactive transport model based on the field data, which accurately reproduced the gas-water-rock reactive sequence and demonstrated that pyrite kinetics played a significant role in determining the gas composition and spatial extent of chemical reactions. The developed model has implications for other gas storage facilities and highlights the minimal impact of recommended oxygen contents on gas composition and reservoir geochemistry when efficient pH buffers are present.

Towards defining reasonable minimum composition thresholds - Impacts of variable CO2 stream compositions on transport, injection and storage

Heike Ruetters et al.

Summary: This study investigates the potential impacts of CO2 streams with different compositions and mass flow rates on CCS chains, and recommends the definition of reasonable minimum composition thresholds. The findings suggest that there are both beneficial and adverse impacts of different impurities and their combinations, but no fundamental technical obstacles were observed in transporting, injecting, and storing CO2 streams with variable compositions and mass flow rates. The study proposes defining minimum composition thresholds for each specific CCS project based on overall CO2 content, maximum impurity or element contents, acceptable variability of critical impurity concentrations, and avoidance of specific impurity combinations.

Geological storage of CO2 and acid gases dissolved at surface in production water

J. K. Pearce et al.

Summary: The traditional method of geological CO2 storage involves injecting CO2 into a high permeability reservoir capped by a low permeability seal. Another method involves injecting CO2 dissolved in water, which can enhance storage security. Geochemical modeling on different reservoir rocks indicated the potential for both mineral trapping and dissolution trapping of CO2 over time.

CO2 and NOx reactions with CO2 storage reservoir core: NOx dissolution products and mineral reactions

Luc G. Turner et al.

Summary: Geological storage of CO2 is crucial for achieving the energy transition to net zero emissions. However, the behavior of NOx and its impact on reservoir rock during CO2 storage has been little studied. Experimental reactions show that NOx can affect the pH and induce rock reactions and precipitation when dissolved in CO2. Further studies are needed to understand the reaction mechanisms in different rock types, gas mixtures, and storage conditions, which is important for industrial CO2 storage and other renewable energy storage technologies.

Heavy metal release and acid generation during the oxidation of sulfide waste rock induced by ferric iron

Yingbo Dong et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the behavior of acid generation and heavy metal release from sulfide waste rock under different Fe3+ concentrations. The results show that the oxidation of Fe3+ effectively accelerates the release of heavy metals from the waste rock, and the release quantity increases with the increase of Fe3+ concentration. The release of heavy metals is controlled by internal diffusion and chemical reactions.
