Project 1.5: Reactive Reservoir Rocks for CO2 Storage

Geoscience Australia Data published a project investigating the fundamental knowledge gaps in geological CO2 storage. The project aims to make CO2 storage more predictable and safer by studying mineral trapping, a permanent storage mechanism. It employs a range of approaches including desktop studies, laboratory and field experiments, and geochemical modeling.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term CO2 immobilization based on mineral precipitation mechanisms mentioned in the description
• Assessing storage site safety based on the study of structural and solubility trapping
• Calibrating geochemical reaction rates for sequestration based on laboratory and field experiments
• Predicting subsurface transport of injected CO2 and associated gases

Strengths

• Project outlines five specific objectives to improve predictability and safety of CO2 storage.
• Description details three specific CO2 storage mechanisms: structural, solubility, and mineral trapping.
• Methodology includes desktop studies, laboratory experiments, field experiments, and geochemical modeling.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data files are in PDF and HTML formats, which may require extraction for quantitative analysis.
