Wellbore integrity at the Krechba Carbon Storage Site, In Salah, Algeria: 2. Reactive transport modeling of geochemical interactions near the cement – formation interface

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO₂ storage, Engineering and project delivery

This paper describes a reactive transport modeling approach to assess key geochemical reactions between wellbore cement, formation mineralogy, and injected supercritical CO₂ at the Krechba natural gas field at In Salah, Algeria. The findings informed a reactive transport model which considered advective transport of CO₂ along the wellbore-formation interface and diffusive transport of CO₂ and brine constituents into juxtaposed wellbore cement.
