“…MacDonald & Fyfe (1985) proposed that increasing solid volume during olivine hydration produces stresses that fracture surrounding rock. This was further investigated and quantified for serpentinization (e.g., Andreani et al 2007;Evans 2004;Iyer et al 2008;Jamtveit et al 2008Jamtveit et al , 2009O'Hanley 1992;Royne et al 2009;Shervais et al 2005), olivine carbonation (Rudge et al 2010), and granite weathering (Fletcher et al 2006). Evans (2004) and Jamtveit et al (2008) emphasize textural evidence for reaction-driven cracking, in which partial serpentinization of olivine has shattered surrounding plagioclase crystals.…”

Near-surface reaction of CO 2 -bearing fluids with silicate minerals in peridotite and basalt forms solid carbonate minerals. Such processes form abundant veins and travertine deposits, particularly in association with tectonically exposed mantle peridotite. This is important in the global carbon cycle, in weathering, and in understanding physical-chemical interaction during retrograde metamorphism. Enhancing the rate of such reactions is a proposed method for geologic CO 2 storage, and perhaps for direct capture of CO 2 from near-surface fluids. We review, synthesize, and extend inferences from a variety of sources. We include data from studies on natural peridotite carbonation processes, carbonation kinetics, feedback between permeability and volume change via reaction-driven cracking, and proposed methods for enhancing the rate of natural mineral carbonation via in situ processes ("at the outcrop") rather than ex situ processes ("at the smokestack"). 545 Annu.

“…[114]), is a similar process. Examples of mineral reactions that have been shown or are believed to produce a FoC include (a) uptake of crystallisation water by thenardite to produce mirabilite [35,118], (b) delayed ettringite formation in concrete [37,54,116], (c) serpentinisation and possibly carbonation of peridotite [60,67,68,97,104], (d) replacement of leucite by analcime in low-silica rocks [61], (e) conversion of anhydrite into gypsum [70] and (f) the hydration of metal oxides such as quicklime (CaO) and periclase (MgO) [43,94]. In a geological context, development of a force of crystallisation is widely considered to play an important role in pseudomorphic replacement [40,89], as well as vein formation [40,47,87,114] and reaction-driven fracturing [61,97,100,104].…”

Reaction-driven casing expansion: potential for wellbore leakage mitigation

2017

It is generally challenging to predict the postabandonment behaviour and integrity of wellbores. Leakage is, moreover, difficult to mitigate, particularly between the steel casing and outer cement sheath. Radially expanding the casing with some form of internal plug, thereby closing annular voids and fractures around it, offers a possible solution to both issues. However, such expansion requires development of substantial internal stresses. Chemical reactions that involve a solid volume increase and produce a force of crystallisation (FoC), such as CaO hydration, offer obvious potential. However, while thermodynamically capable of producing stresses in the GPa range, the maximum stress obtainable by CaO hydration has not been validated or determined experimentally. Here, we report uniaxial compaction/expansion experiments performed in an oedometer-type apparatus on precompacted CaO powder, at 65°C and at atmospheric pore fluid pressure. Using this set-up, the FoC generated during CaO hydration could be measured directly. Our results show FoC-induced stresses reaching up to 153 MPa, with reaction stopping or slowing down before completion. Failure to achieve the GPa stresses predicted by theory is attributed to competition between FoC development and its inhibiting effect on reaction progress. Microstructural observations indicate that reaction-induced stresses shut down pathways for water into the sample, hampering ongoing reaction and limiting the magnitude of stress build-up to the values observed. The results nonetheless point the way to understanding the behaviour of such systems and to finding engineering solutions that may allow large controlled stresses and strains to be achieved in wellbore sealing operations in future.

“…In this regime, olivine yields via brittle failure to stress perturbations caused by tectonic forces or stress generated by the reaction-induced volume change, significantly weakening the oceanic lithosphere (Escartin et al 1997(Escartin et al , 2001Iyer et al 2008b;Jamtveit et al 2008). Generally, olivine is thought to be incapable of readjusting compositionally via solid-state 1 diffusion at low temperatures, and thus, the system reequilibrates with infiltrating fluid via the dissolution of olivine and consequent precipitation of serpentine minerals.…”

The legacy of crystal-plastic deformation in olivine: high-diffusivity pathways during serpentinization

Crystal-plastic olivine deformation to produce subgrain boundaries composed of edge dislocations is an inevitable consequence of asthenospheric mantle flow. Although crystal-plastic deformation and serpentinization are spatio-temporally decoupled, we identified compositional readjustments expressed on the micrometric level as a striped Fe-enriched ( " X Fe = 0.24 ± 0.02 (zones); 0.12 ± 0.02 (bulk)) or Fe-depleted ( " X Fe = 0.10 ± 0.01 (zones); 0.13 ± 0.01 (bulk)) zoning in partly serpentinized olivine grains from two upper mantle sections in Norway. Focused ion beam sample preparation combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and aberrationcorrected scanning TEM, enabling atomic-level resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopic line profiling, reveals that every zone is immediately associated with a subgrain boundary. We infer that the zonings are a result of the environmental Fe 2? Mg -1 exchange potential during antigorite serpentinization of olivine and the drive toward element exchange equilibrium. This is facilitated by enhanced solid-state diffusion along subgrain boundaries in a system, which otherwise re-equilibrates via dissolutionreprecipitation. Fe enrichment or depletion is controlled by the silica activity imposed on the system by the local olivine/orthopyroxene mass ratio, temperature and the effect of magnetite stability. The Fe-Mg exchange coefficients K Atg=Ol D between both types of zoning and antigorite display coalescence toward exchange equilibrium. With both types of zoning, Mn is enriched and Ni depleted compared with the unaffected bulk composition. Nanometer-sized, heterogeneously distributed antigorite precipitates along olivine subgrain boundaries suggest that water was able to ingress along them. Crystallographic orientation relationships gained via electron backscatter diffraction between olivine grain domains and different serpentine vein generations support the hypothesis that serpentinization was initiated along olivine subgrain boundaries.
