Caprock sealing is relied upon to contain CO2 in the reservoir. There are concerns over CO2 interactions with caprock, such as de-wetting pore water in the caprock and cause the pores to be open to CO2 flow. Adsorption of CO2 in the pore walls may promote the de-wetting. On the other hand, adsorption may cause some clay minerals to swell and result in pore closure. Moreover, reported CO2 adsorption data for a caprock shale suggest that the pore space can be fully filled by adsorbed CO2. This would block the pathway for CO2 leakage.

摘要

Caprock sealing is relied upon to contain CO2 in the reservoir. There are concerns over CO2 interactions with caprock, such as de-wetting pore water in the caprock and cause the pores to be open to CO2 flow. Adsorption of CO2 in the pore walls may promote the de-wetting. On the other hand, adsorption may cause some clay minerals to swell and result in pore closure. Moreover, reported CO2 adsorption data for a caprock shale suggest that the pore space can be fully filled by adsorbed CO2. This would block the pathway for CO2 leakage. An analysis is shown for this effect.
