In order to develop this model, databases … In order to develop this model, databases will be assembled and/or updated for thermodynamic and kinetic rate laws for water/brine/rock/CO2 interactions at the pressures and temperatures common to EGS systems. In addition to a literature search, extrapolation of existing data and experimental laboratory work will be conducted to calibrate and verify the datasets.
The expected outcome will be a new chemical model capable of evaluating the thermodynamic properties of fluid and formation rocks; to estimate kinetic rate laws of CO2/saline/rock interactions, in high P, T, with phase configurations ranging for single aqueous, SC CO2/aqueous and single SC CO2 phases., SC CO2/aqueous and single SC CO2 phases.

- Collect thermodynamic equilibrium consta … - Collect thermodynamic equilibrium constants and kinetic rate laws and associated parameters and constants for geochemical reactions relevant to the pressure and temperature of EGS systems;
<br />- Modify existing reactive-transport models to account for chemical reactions at variable P, T and CO2 saturation conditions of the EGS system;
<br />- Apply the model to investigate the interactions of supercritical CO2 with reservoir rocks.
The code modifications will provide essential tools to evaluate the interactions between SC/dissolved CO2 with reservoir rocks for aqueous, two phase and anhydrous conditions in EGS systems. Simulations with the modified simulators will use experimental and literature data to calibrate and verify models in an iterative manner.
Investigations conducted within this task will provide deeper insight into the behavior and effects of SC CO2 in EGS reservoirs. Field-scale simulations will be conducted to assess the possibility and suitable conditions for using CO2 as a working fluid and acidization agent. as a working fluid and acidization agent.
