A core sample including casing, cement, and shale caprock was obtained from a 30-year old CO(2)-flooding operation at the SACROC Unit, located in West Texas. The core was investigated as part of a program to evaluate the integrity of Portland-cement based wellbore systems in CO(2)-sequestration environments. The recovered cement had air permeabilities in the tenth of a milliDarcy range and thus retained its capacity to prevent significant flow of CO(2). There was evidence, however, for CO(2) migration along both the casing-cement and cement-shale interfaces. A 0.1-0.3 cm thick carbonate precipitate occurs adjacent to the casing. The CO(2) producing this deposit may have traveled up the casing wall or may have infiltrated through the casing threads or points of corrosion. The cement in contact with the shale (0.1-1 cm thick) was heavily carbonated to an assemblage of calcite, aragonite, vaterite, and amorphous alumino-silica residue and was transformed to a distinctive orange color. The CO(2) causing this reaction originated by migration along the cement-shale interface where the presence of shale fragments (filter cake) may have provided a fluid pathway. The integrity of the casing-cement and cement-shale interfaces appears to be the most important issue in the performance of wellbore systems in a CO(2) sequestration reservoir. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
