Kinetic modeling of laboratory CO₂-exposure experiments performed on whole rock reservoir samples

Mineralogical and geochemical observations from laboratory CO 2 ‐exposure experiments on reservoir rocks are compared with predictions from geochemical modeling that was performed using PHREEQC software. The Pitzer‐based Eq 3/6 thermodynamic database, provided by Quintessa Ltd., was applied. For kinetic modeling, a Lasaga‐type rate equation was implemented and different models were parameterized taking kinetic rate law parameters from...
