Improvement of the Calculation Accuracy of Acid Gas Solubility in Deep Reservoir Brines: Application to the Geological Storage of CO2

Abstract: Résumé -Amélioration de la précision du calcul de la solubilité des gaz acides dans les saumures des réservoirs profonds : application au stockage géologique du CO 2 -L'évaluation des conséquences à court et long terme de l'injection de CO 2 dans les aquifères nécessite à la fois des expérimentations en laboratoire et l'utilisation de modèles afin de mieux comprendre les différents processus physicochimiques induits. La modélisation de l'injection dans un réservoir où les conditions in situ sont souvent relati… Show more

“…First, even though equilibrium constants are by definition based on activities of product and reactant species and phases, we make a simplifying assumption of equating activities of aqueous species with concentrations (in mol m 3 ); that is we assume that their activity coefficients are equal to 1. This approximation is based on the relatively low ionic strength of the solution: the maximum ionic strength (I) = 0.115 molal, calculated using EQ3NR, Wolery (1992), and the activity coefficient is greater than 0.85, see Figure 1 of Kervevan et al (2005). Solid phases are always assigned an activity equal to 1.…”

“…The constants K CO 2 , K 1 and K 2 (Eq. (5)) as well as K calcite depend on temperature and to a lesser extent on pressure (Kervévan et al, 2005). Temperature dependence of stable carbon isotope fractionation of DIC species and CO 2(g) is well known (Lesniak and Zawidzki, 2006) but the influence of pressure has not been thoroughly investigated (see Valley et al, 2001).…”

“…and Kervévan et al (2005) showed for various NaCl-type brines, that simplifying the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) as g/l NaCl introduces an error into the calculations of around 5% of the estimated DIC concentration. This error is acceptable compared to the uncertainties given by variabilities in natural samples.…”

“…In particular, calcite (CaCO 3 ) formation plays an important role on natural processes as well as in others of industrial interest where, for example, scale formation in geothermal wells can be deleterious to the efficiency of geothermal energy exploitation (Møller et al [85]). Also, a better understanding of CO 2 solubility in brines is needed in the accurate modeling and application of subsurface carbon sequestration in geological formations (Kervévan et al [86]). This example involves the prediction of calcite solubility as a function of NaCl concentration at 298 K at a given P CO2 .…”
