Chemo‐mechanical Alterations Induced From CO₂ Injection in Carbonate‐Cemented Sandstone: An Experimental Study at 71 °C and 29 MPa

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage may lead to mechanical degradation of the subsurface reservoir from fluid‐rock interaction, which could lead to wellbore instability or reservoir compaction. To better understand potential relationship between mechanical degradation with various carbonate cement textures and compositions in sandstone reservoirs, six flow‐through experiments were conducted. Formation water (TDS = 5,390 mg/L) enriched with...
