Geochemical Modeling of Fluid-Rock Reactions in No-Flow Conditions

• Geochemical effect of CO2 injection into deep saline aquifer

• Extent of CO2 immobilization via carbonate precipitation

• Major concern -- What will happen to the CO2 injected into a deep aquifer?

  • Will it sequester as solid rock?
  • Will it be trapped ‘hydrodynamically’ in the aquifer?
