- W2883950146 abstract "The effect of CO2–water–rock interactions on fracture mechanical properties of reservoir and seal rocks due to injection of CO2 in the subsurface may impact long-term (102–104 yr) storage security. At the Crystal Geyser and Salt Wash field sites near Green River, Utah, sandstone of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation and Mancos Shale have undergone chemical alteration associated with flow of CO2-bearing water under natural conditions over geologic time scales of 103–105 yrs. To quantify the effects of these diagenetic changes on rock fracture mechanical properties we conducted opening-mode fracture mechanics tests using the double torsion method on a suite of CO2-altered and unaltered siliciclastic samples. We show that dissolution of hematite and carbonate cement in Entrada Sandstone by CO2-rich brine lowers fracture toughness by nearly 40% relative to adjacent, unaltered samples from the same unit. In contrast, precipitation of calcite pore cement in a sandstone of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation, attributed to CO2 degassing during upward fluid flow along the Little Grand Wash Fault, results in a 100–700% increase in fracture toughness. Similarly, precipitation of carbonate mineral cements and replacement of matrix measurably strengthens Mancos Shale, considered a regional top seal. Subcritical fracture growth index (SCI) which quantifies reaction-assisted subcritical fracture propagation is also affected by CO2-related alteration. Based on previous numerical simulations of fracture network growth with varying fracture mechanical parameters, we find that the measured variations in fracture mechanical properties qualitatively match observed differences in opening-mode fracture distributions along the fault, with short, non-connected fractures in CO2-bleached rock, long, throughgoing fractures in calcite-cemented shale, and short, closely spaced, interconnected fracture networks in highly altered rock directly adjacent to fault conduits. Our fracture mechanics tests demonstrate that fracture mechanical properties of reservoir and seal rock can change as a result of chemical CO2–brine–rock interaction. These chemical interactions may favor or inhibit subcritical fracture growth processes and thus reservoir and seal flow properties. In regions of CO2-related mineral dissolution, subcritical fracture growth may reduce seal integrity over time scales beyond those of active injection and reservoir monitoring, thus negatively affecting seal integrity over the expected design lifetime of a CO2 reservoir." @default.
