“…Nevertheless, a few natural examples, analogues to CO 2 storage in sedimentary basins, do exist. Two of these are found in sequences of the Chinese Hailaer and Songliao basins. Petrographic examinations together with isotopic signatures suggest that dawsonite replaced Na‐feldspar (anorthite) at temperatures between 85 and 105 °C (Hailaer basin) and 100 to 120 °C (Songliao basin).…”

“…As a rule, CO 2 storage in siliciclastic rocks generates slightly acidic solutions, with pH normally reaching maximum 5 to 6 with time buffered by mineral reactions . This leads to a rather low thermodynamic driving force for dawsonite formation, but despite this, dawsonite is commonly predicted to form during CO 2 storage, and this is supported by natural CO 2 storage analogues where CO 2 ‐charged waters have leached silicates and formed dawsonite …”

“…Natural occurrences of dawsonite suggest that Na‐feldspar is the main aluminum source for dawsonite growth . If CO 2 is not a limiting component, and the released silica is allowed to precipitate, the conversion of albite into dawsonite can be written as an isochemical reaction that can go to completion in a closed system:

{NaAlSi}_{3} {normalO}_{8} + {CO}_{2} + {normalH}_{2} O = {NaAl (OH)}_{2} {CO}_{3} + {3 SiO}_{2},

“…If dawsonite is included as a possible secondary phase, most numerical modeling studies suggest that dawsonite forms easily, and is in many cases the dominant secondary carbonate . This is in contrast to the fact that dawsonite must still be considered a relatively rare mineral, even though it is found in large quantities in some reservoirs that may be considered analogous to CO 2 storage …”

Will dawsonite form during CO₂ storage?

For more than a decade, a debate has been going on as to whether dawsonite can sequester CO2, and be the dominant secondary carbonate where reservoirs lack divalent metal cations. Numerical simulations have suggested large‐scale formation, whereas natural occurrences in present‐day or previously CO2‐charged reservoirs are scarce. Natural occurrences, such as in sequences of the Hailaer and Songliao basins, may nevertheless suggest that dawsonite can form under CO2 storage conditions (<120 °C) given the right temperature‐composition window. The exact conditions, however (CO2 pressure, alkalinity, temperature, ionic strength) are highly uncertain. Moreover, there are no data on the rate of nucleation and growth of dawsonite, and numerical predictions are forced into using simplified kinetic expressions with values of kinetic constants obtained from far‐from‐equilibrium dissolution rate experiments, a method that is questioned today. There are good indications that a range of reservoirs may become supersaturated with respect to dawsonite during CO2 storage, but this does not imply spontaneous growth. The retention time (the nucleation stage) may be long, and growth rates may be significantly lower than predicted from the far‐from‐equilibrium dissolution rates. The lack of nucleation and growth rate data for dawsonite, the lack of dawsonite growth in laboratory experiments under CO2 storage conditions (not highly alkaline), and the uncertainty in growth conditions for the natural analogues, thus render numerical predictions highly uncertain. Conclusions on the mineral carbonatization potential should therefore be taken with caution if dawsonite is the dominant secondary carbonate predicted to form. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

“…For the Songliao Basin, China, due to the volcanic magma intrusion, a natural CO 2 gas reservoir is formed. The reservoir structure is quite complex, which induces a strong mineral heterogeneity [ Li et al ., ; Liu et al ., ; Yang et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ; Zhao et al ., ]. Therefore, the Songliao Basin is a favorable place for studying the impact of mineral heterogeneity on diagenesis after the CO 2 intrusion.…”

During the diagenesis of rocks in a sedimentary basin, an intrusion of CO 2 could cause dissolution or/and precipitation of the surrounding rocks. As a result, the reservoir quality may be altered. The mineral composition and heterogeneity have pronounced impacts on the geochemical reaction and reservoir quality evolution. A numerical simulation method is employed to investigate the influences of primary mineral on the diagenesis. Based on the measured data from the Songliao Basin, a total of 26 two-dimensional models with different mineral composition are set up. To mimic the regionally heterogeneous distribution of mineral composition, the Monte Carlo method is employed. A CO 2 gas reservoir of magma intrusion origin, located in the Songliao Basin, northeastern China, is selected for the present study. The reservoir is an ideal site for investigating the impact of mineral heterogeneity on diagenesis after the CO 2 intrusion. In this reservoir, with the presence of high-pressure CO 2 , the mineral heterogeneity causes significant dissolution and precipitation of minerals, which decreases the reservoir porosity and degrades the reservoir quality. The geochemical reactions caused by different mineral composition vary widely. The mineral heterogeneity causes similar distributions of the geochemical reactions and reservoir quality evolution. Dominant secondary minerals are dawsonite in the early diagenesis and ankerite in the late stage. The diagenetic sequences modeled by our numerical simulations reproduce the petrographic and geochemical data well.

Dawsonite is often associated with CO 2 -rich gas reservoirs, and it is regarded as a ''trace mineral'' for recording migration and accumulation of CO 2 . Following accepted petrological, mineralogical, and geochemical principles, we used several methods (described herein) to study the Cretaceous dawsonitebearing sandstone reservoirs in the Songliao Basin, China. We used the ideas of ''sequencing'' and ''timing'' to verify the influx stages of CO 2 and hydrocarbons, dividing their influx sequence pattern and building a CO 2 -influx timeframe. First, we determined the stable isotopic ratios of dawsonite and CO 2 in gas and oil reservoirs, and found that the CO 2 in? dawsonite is of a mantle-derived magma origin. Second, we differentiated an early/late-stage oil and gas influx and a midmantle source influx through the study of diagenetic paragenetic sequences, formation water, and fluid inclusions in the dawsonite-bearing sandstones. Combining burial/thermal-history curves and illite K-Ar dates from the study area, we determined that the earlystage oil and gas influx, late oil and gas influx, and medium CO 2 influx occurred at Ma (Paleocene and Eocene), respectively. Finally, we observed a coupling relationship between CO 2 influx and Shuangliao volcanic activities and material compositions, as constrained by volcanic activity history in the basin since the Late Cretaceous.
