“…The models are then infused with high permeability faults and fractures to test various leakage scenarios based on the magnitude of fault and fracture permeability. The methodology employed in this study aimed to develop a mechanistic model of the Syderiai deep saline aquifer within the Lithuanian basin, which has been shows to have a significant representative storage volume [7]. The model was constructed based on key geological parameters, including average permeability, porosity, net-to-gross ratio (NTG), and aquifer thickness.…”

Injecting CO2 into deep saline aquifers is a prominent strategy for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, ensuring the long-term integrity of CO2 storage is crucial to prevent leakage and potential environmental hazards. This paper investigates the impact of presence of faults and fracture on CO2 leakage volumes. Particular case of CO2 injection into a deep saline aquifer for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications is investigated. This paper explores the relationship between fracture permeability and the potential for CO2 leakage.

“…Cambrian sandstones are the primary target for oil exploration in West Lithuania. Cambrian sandstones have thus been studied in detail by extensive deep drilling accompanied by logging, hydrogeological testing, 2D and 3D seismic surveys for oil field exploration, and planning for natural gas and CO 2 storage [18][19][20][21]. There are a large number of hydrocarbon reservoirs, either depleted or with hydrocarbon production coming to an end [22,23], see Figure 2.…”

Lithuania has a geothermal anomaly situated in the southwestern region of the country. This anomaly is comprised of two primary geothermal complexes located in western Lithuania. The first complex is characterized by the Pärnu–Kemeri Devonian sandstone aquifers, which exhibit exceptionally good flow properties. However, the reservoir temperatures in this complex only reach up to 45 °C. The second complex encompasses Cambrian sandstone reservoirs. Although these Cambrian sandstone reservoirs exhibit high temperatures, with the highest reservoir temperatures reaching up to 96 °C, these Cambrian sandstone reservoirs have less favorable petrophysical properties. This study focuses on the high temperature Cambrian Geothermal sandstone reservoirs. The study aims to conduct a geological screening of the existing and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs with high water production rates. After initial data gathering, numerical modeling is employed with the help of mechanistic box models to evaluate the geothermal potential of the selected sites for commercial development. Ultimately, the study identifies the top five screened sites, which could be developed further for techno-economical modelling.
