Long term reactivity of CO2 in a low salinity reservoir-seal complex

An understanding of the long-term reactivity of different rock types to injected CO2 is needed for sequestration site assessment. Relative to saline aquifer studies, the long term reactivity of CO2 in low salinity aquifers has received little attention. Currently in Australia, the Surat Basin is being appraised for its large-scale CO2 storage potential within low salinity aquifers. Sixteen core samples from the Precipice Sandstone and Evergreen...
