Experimental evaluation of the impact of the interactions of CO2‐SO2, brine, and reservoir rock on petrophysical properties: A case study from the Ketzin test site, Germany
Abstract:[1] The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of impure CO 2 on a possible CO 2 repository. Here we present experimental data on the simulation of the injection of pure CO 2 and CO 2 and cocontaminant SO 2 into a saline aquifer. Long-term exposure experiments with pure CO 2 reveal no significant changes in the petrophysical properties (electrical resistivity, elastic wave velocity, and permeability). In contrast, for the injection of CO 2 and cocontaminant SO 2 (1 vol %) we have observed significan… Show more
“…The effect of CO 2 injection on the P-wave and S-wave velocities of the Ketzin reservoir was investigated at laboratory scale by Kummerow and Spangenberg (2011). The experiments were carried out on a sample from the reservoir sandstone of the Stuttgart Formation which was cored from the well Ktzi 202 at 629 m below ground level.…”

“…The P-wave velocities v p show a hysteretic behaviour resulting from a relative rapid decrease of v p with decreasing brine saturation from 3.20 km/s to 2.69 km/s (16 %) and a hesitant increase of v p at brine imbibition. The P-wave velocity reaches its initial value after the sample is re-saturated with brine at the end of the experiment" (Kummerow and Spangenberg (2011)). (2011)).…”

“…The sample has a porosity of 28 %. "In thin sections the distribution of porosity is inhomogeneous with less porous lenticular clay layers and porous grain supported sandstone layers" (Kummerow and Spangenberg (2011)). To mimic reservoir conditions, the sample was saturated with a synthetic formation brine and the flow experiments were performed at the conditions of the Ketzin reservoir (p conf ining = 15 MPa, p pore = 7.5 MPa, T = 40 • C).…”
