Geologic Storage of CO 2 : Leakage Pathways and Environmental Risks Michael A. Celia, Catherine A. Peters, and Stefan Bachu Princeton University and Alberta Geological Survey May 2002

CO 2 Injection and Trapping Mechanisms Precipitated Carbonate Minerals ~800 m Confining Layer(s) Injection Well Supercritical CO 2 Dissolved CO 2 Stratigraphic Trapping Solubility Trapping Mineral Trapping Hydrodynamic Trapping

Research Questions How effective are the various trapping mechanisms? What is the likelihood and magnitude of CO 2 leakage? What are the environmental impacts of CO2 leakage? Today: Solubility trapping Today: Abandoned wells Today: Mammoth Mtn, and groundwater quality

Simulation of Injection of Supercritical CO 2 After 4 years of CO 2 injection CO 2 injection combined with injection of brine above the confining layer Radial distance [m] Depth [m] Mass of CO 2 /Volume [kg/m 3 ] Q brine = 40 kg/s Radial distance [m] Depth [m] Mass of CO 2 /Volume [kg/m 3 ]

Simulation of Injection of CO 2 Dissolved in Water After 1 year After 50 years seal Total Mass CO 2 injected = 3.1x10 7 kg seal Total Mass CO 2 injected = 1.2x10 9 kg Mass of CO 2 /Volume [kg/m 3 ]

Leakage Pathways and Trapping Mechanisms Injected Carbon Dioxide Surface Ecosystems Confining Layer(s) Atmosphere lateral migration Localized vertical migration fractures, faults, wells Potable Water
