英文摘要 | Limestone pore structure strongly influences dissolution and associated reactive transport. These effects are critical in limestone diagenesis and but also in engineering operations such as carbon capture and storage (CCS). However, detailed studies on how CO2-enriched (acidic) brine changes this pore structure at relevant reservoir storage conditions are very limited. Thus, to provide further quantitative information and more fundamental understanding about these key processes, we studied the dissolution patterns of a homogeneous, a fractured, and a vuggy limestone when flooded with CO2-saturated brine at representative storage conditions. The pore structured of these limestones showed drastically different responses to the acidic brine flood. As such, preferential channels surrounded by branched channels were formed in the homogeneous sample, while fractures became the main flow path in the fractured sample. In contrast, only one dominant channel formed in the vuggy sample, which resulted in a sharp permeability increase. These dissolution patterns reflect the associated Damkohler number, which significantly lower in the homogeneous, representing uniform dissolution. However, after injecting sufficient reactive fluid (1,000 PV), this uniform dissolution pattern transformed into a single preferential channel growth. Moreover, we conclude that increasing complexity of the pore geometry leads to more nonuniform dissolution. These dissolution patterns indicate the effect of initial pore structure on preferential channel growth and reaction transport. Our work provides key fundamental data for further quantifying limestone dissolution patterns in CCS, indicating that the CO2 injection may cause the reactivation of geological faults and damage around wellbore, thus aids in the implementation of industrial-scale CCS. Key Points The impact of limestone pore structure on reactive transport was analyzed experimentally and computationally The dissolution patterns of homogeneous, fractured, and vuggy carbonate rocks are quantified and discussed in detail Increasing complexity of the pore geometry leads to more nonuniform dissolution |
