Influence of pore seepage and mineralogical characteristics on the evolution of CO2 transport in the Huaziping area
The Ordos Basin is an important energy and chemical base in China
with a large number of lowcost
high-concentration coal chemical CO
2
sources and low-permeability reservoir storage space suitable for CO
2
storage
making it an ideal candidate for CCUS technology demonstration. However
there are still many challenges to achieve efficient CO
2
-EOR and effective storage in low-permeability reservoirs. In this paper
we take the Haziping reservoir of the Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin as the target layer for geological storage
and find that the original porosity
permeability and initial mineral fraction have different levels of influence on the evolution of CO
2
transport and reservoir water chemistry changes through numerical simulations. As CO
2
is injected
the original minerals begin to undergo hydrogeochemical reactions and some of the minerals begin to dissolve
with the dissolved amounts of minerals ranked from largest to smallest: chlorite
feldspar-like
kaolinite. Mineral precipitation amounts were ranked as follows: iron dolomite
sodium montmorillonite
calcite
magnesite
illite
quartz. By analysing whether the precipitated minerals can be stabilised as carbon fixing minerals in the reservoir
the final determination of the carbon fixing mineral combination in the target reservoir is iron dolomite + magnesite. The presence of carbon fixing minerals in the target reservoir is indicative of geological storage
and it was found that iron dolomite could be used as a mineral tracer for the presence of CO
