“…The Orwell accumulation in the southern North Sea (Wilkinson et al, 2009) is for example similar to the Altensalzwedel mineralogical composition. There, after millions years exposure to CO 2 , only minor mineral alterations were demonstrated; notably, no major dissolution of K-feldspar occurred, and likewise no detectable precipitation of dawsonite or other late carbonates was observed, contradicting expectations of geochemical modelling.…”

Geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is considered one plausible option to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions to mitigate global warming and related climate changes. Geochemical studies are essential for providing improved understanding of CO 2 -brine -mineral interactions, which strongly affect storage injectivity and security. Reservoir capacity and integrity are strongly dependent on the four main CO 2 -trapping mechanisms: ' structural ' , ' residual ' , ' solution ' and ' mineral ' . The bulk of CO 2 will be stored initially as a supercritical fl uid, with some rapidly dissolving in formation water, but mineral and additional solution -trapping will be slower, yet more permanent. Results from natural analogues indicate that dissolution in brine is the major sink for CO 2 . Geochemical results from Frio tests (Texas) proved powerful in: (i) tracking the successful injection of CO 2 ; (ii) detecting CO 2 in the overlying ' B ' sandstone; (iii) showing mobilization of metals and organics, and major changes in chemical and isotopic compositions of brine. Modelling and Fe isotopes indicate dissolution of calcite and Fe -oxyhydroxides, and well -pipe corrosion.Geochemical changes, including pH -lowering, alkalinity increases and metals mobilization, were also observed in shallow groundwater following CO 2 injection at the zero -emission research and technology (ZERT) site, Montana. Results show highly sensitive chemical and isotopic tracers that can be used to monitor injection performance, and provide early detection of CO 2 and brine leakages into groundwater.
