Near-Surface Analysis of Geologic Media for Implications of Carbon Sequestration


EMSL Project ID
1922

Abstract

Deep saline geologic formations are considered to be among the largest and most widely available potential reservoirs for long-term to permanent storage of CO2. This study will investigate CO2-brine-rock interactions to answer questions concerning solid-phase stability and reaction kinetics. High pressure autoclave experiments are being conducted to simulate deep, subsurface geochemical reactions. In addition, near-surface analytical techniques are needed to investigate more subtle differences.
