“…Our results also indicate that crystalline basalts have high reactivity due to primary magmatic minerals such as Ca-rich plagioclase and clinopyroxene being more easily dissolved by carbonic acid than supergene minerals 4 – 6 , 11 . This implies that supergene and alteration minerals reacted with hydrothermal or weathering fluids, consequently losing the capacity for the maximum release of cations.…”

“…Specifically, the CarbFix project mineralized over 60% of the injected CO 2 within four months of injection 5 . Furthermore, increased greenhouse gas injection rates also accelerated the rates of CO 2 mineralization 4 , 5 , 11 . In basaltic reservoirs, mineral dissolution rates increase dramatically under low pH conditions near the CO 2 injection point of mineral carbonation experiments 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 .…”

“…This implies that supergene and alteration minerals reacted with hydrothermal or weathering fluids, consequently losing the capacity for the maximum release of cations. Basalt's natural porosity, combined with physical stimulation related to CO 2 injection, increases the basalt dissolution rates due to increased surface contact between the carbonic acid and host rock 10 , 11 . According to the literature, temperature plays a significant role.…”

CO2 capture and storage in geological reservoirs have the potential to significantly mitigate the effects of anthropogenic gas emissions on global climate. Here, we report the results of the first laboratory experiments of CO2 injection in continental flood basalts of South America. The results show that the analyzed basalts have a mineral assemblage, texture and composition that efficiently allows a fast carbonate precipitation that starts 72 h after injection. Based on the availability of calcium, chemical monitoring indicates an estimated CO2 storage of ~ 75%. The carbonate precipitation led to the precipitation of aragonite (75.9%), dolomite (19.6%), and calcite (4.6%).

“…Ocean storage mainly involves injecting CO 2 into the ocean water column or submarine sediments [3]. Geological storage utilizes underground geological structures such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline aquifers, and coal seams for sequestration [4]. Mineral carbonation permanently stores CO 2 by transforming it into carbonate minerals [5].…”

This paper evaluates the carbon dioxide sequestration potential in the saline aquifers of the South Qiongdongnan–Yinggehai Basin. By using a hierarchical evaluation method, the assessment is divided into five stages: the basin level, the zone level, the target level, the site level, and the injection level. The study primarily focuses on evaluating the sequestration potential of and identifying favorable zones of saline aquifers at the basin and zone levels. The optimized volumetric method is adopted, based on the integration of multi-source data such as regional geological maps, seismic data, core porosity, and permeability. The results show that the estimated potential of the Yinggehai Basin is 60.6 billion tons at the basin level and 54.6 billion tons at the zone level. Additionally, the estimated potential of the South Qiongdongnan Basin is 261.5 billion tons at the basin level and 234.8 billion tons at the zone level. The suitability evaluation indicates that the Yinggehai Basin is moderately suitable overall, the northern depression of the South Qiongdongnan Basin is suitable, the central uplift is moderately suitable, and the central depression is not suitable. This study provides a scientific foundation for carbon dioxide sequestration in marine basins and introduces novel ideas and methods for future similar research. This is highly significant for subsequent engineering applications and decision-making processes.

“…Many options have been introduced and evaluated to decrease CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere [1,2]. However, geological CO 2 storage is currently the most feasible option that enables rapid and large-scale storage simultaneously in underground formations like aquifers, depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, coalbed seams, and basalt rocks [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Furthermore, the IPCC [10], in their last report, pointed out that without carbon capture and storage (CCS), climate targets will not be met on time.…”

Integrity of wellbores and near wellbore processes are crucial issues in geological carbon storage (GCS) projects as they both define the confinement and injectivity of CO2. For the proper confinement of CO2, any flow of CO2 along the wellbore trajectory must be prevented using engineered barriers. The effect of cyclic stimuli on wellbore integrity, especially in the context of GCS projects, has been given less attention. In this study, the effect of pressure- and temperature-cycling on two types of wellbore composites (i.e., casing-cement and cement-caprock) have been investigated experimentally in small- and large-scale laboratory setups. The experiments have been carried out by measuring the effective permeability of the composites under pressure and thermal cyclic conditions. Furthermore, the permeability of individual samples (API class G and HMR+ cement and caprock) was measured and compared to the permeability of the composites. The results indicate that the permeability of API class G cement when exposed to CO2 is in the order of 10−20 m2 (10−5 mD) as a result of the chemical reaction between the cement and CO2. In addition, the tightness of the composite cement–rock has been confirmed, while the permeability of the composite casing–cement falls within the acceptable range for tight cement and the CO2 flow was identified to occur through or close to the interface casing–cement. Results from thermal cycling within the range −9 to 14 °C revealed no significant effect on the integrity of the bond casing–cement. In contrast, pressure cycling experiments showed that the effective pressure has a larger influence on the permeability. The potential creation of micro-cracks under pressure variations may require some time for complete closing. In conclusion, the pressure and temperature cycling from this study did not violate the integrity of the casing–cement composite sample as the permeability remained low and within the acceptable range for wellbore cement.
