Reactive chemical transport simulations of geologic carbon sequestration: Methods and applications

Porosity‐Permeability Evolution During Simultaneous Mineral Dissolution and Precipitation

“…Mineral reactions have been observed in prior work, considering applications in mineral weathering (Gu et al., 2020; Price et al., 2020), acid mine drainage (Bao et al., 2020; Singer et al., 2020), leachate from cement systems (Guren et al., 2020) hydraulic fracturing (Q. Li et al., 2020; Yan et al., 2020), and geologic CO 2 sequestration (Beckingham et al., 2017; Dai et al., 2020). These dissolution and precipitation reactions can modify the porosity and permeability of porous media, but predictive capabilities of such impacts are limited.…”

An Improved Tandem Neural Network Architecture for Inverse Modeling of Multicomponent Reactive Transport in Porous Media

“…These numerical models can reveal complex subsurface system processes at various spatial and temporal scales. RTMs have received significant attention recently and have been used in various areas, including nuclear waste disposal (Dai et al., 2009; De Windt & Spycher, 2019; Iwalewa & Farnan, 2019; Viswanathana et al., 1998; Wolfsberg et al., 2017), geological carbon storage (Dai et al., 2014, 2020; Celia, 2017; Harrison et al., 2019), chemical weathering (Goddéris et al., 2019; Heidari et al., 2017; Navarre‐Sitchler et al., 2011), groundwater quality prediction (Ng et al., 2015; Prommer et al., 2019; Salmon et al., 2014), and hyporheic exchange (Dwivedi et al., 2018; B. Li et al., 2020; Pescimoro et al., 2019).…”

Impact of Mineral Reactive Surface Area on Forecasting Geological Carbon Sequestration in a CO2-EOR Field

“…Existing uncertainty studies for GCS primarily focus on uncertainties stemming from porosity, permeability, and operational factors (e.g., injection scheme) [6,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Only a few studies have examined the impact of uncertain reactive surface areas on GCS performances.…”
