| Abstract | Basalt-hosted hydrogeologic systems have been proposed for geologic CO$_{2}$ sequestration based on laboratory research suggesting rapid mineralization rates. However, despite this theoretical appeal, little is known about the impacts of basalt fracture heterogeneity on CO$_{2}$ migration at commercial scales. Evaluating the suitability of basalt reservoirs is complicated by incomplete knowledge of in-situ fracture distributions at depths required for CO$_{2}$ sequestration. In this work, a numerical experiment is used to investigate the effects of spatial reservoir uncertainty for geologic CO$_{2}$ sequestration in the east Snake River Plain, Idaho (USA). Two criteria are investigated: (1) formation injectivity and (2) confinement potential. Several theoretical tools are invoked to develop a field-based approach for geostatistical reservoir characterization and their implementation is illustrated. Geologic CO$_{2}$ sequestration is simulated for 10 years of constant-rate injection at ~680,000 tons per year and modeled by Monte Carlo simulation such that model variability is a function of spatial reservoir heterogeneity. Results suggest that the spatial distribution of heterogeneous permeability structures is a controlling influence on formation injectivity. Analysis of confinement potential is less conclusive; however, in the absence of confining sedimentary interbeds within the basalt pile, rapid mineralization may be necessary to reduce the risk of escape.Des systèmes hydrogéologiques en contexte basaltique ont été proposés pour la séquestration du CO$_{2}$, sur la base de recherches en laboratoire suggérant des taux de minéralisation rapide. Cependant, malgré cette approche théorique, l’impacts des effets de l’hétérogénité de fracture du basalte sur la migration du CO$_{2}$ est peu connus à des échelles industrielles. L’évaluation de l’aptitude des réservoirs basaltiques est compliquée du fait de la connaissance incomplète de la répartition des fractures in-situ aux profondeurs requises pour la séquestration du CO$_{2}$. Dans ce travail, une expérimentation numérique est utilisée pour étudier les effets de l’incertitude spatiale sur le réservoir pour la séquestration géologique du CO$_{2}$ à l’Est de la plaine de la rivière Snake, Idaho (Etats-Unis d’Amérique). Deux critères sont étudiés : (1) l’injectivité de la formation et (2) le potentiel de confinement. Plusieurs outils théoriques sont évoqués pour développer une approche de terrain pour la caractérisation géostatistique du réservoir et leur mise en œuvre est illustrée. La séquestration géologique du CO$_{2}$ est simulée pour une durée de 10 ans, à taux constant d’injection d’environ 680 000 tonnes par an et modélisée par simulation Monte Carlo, la variabilité du modèle étant une fonction de l’hétérogénéité spatiale du réservoir. Les résultats suggèrent que la distribution spatiale des structures perméables hétérogènes est un facteur de contrôle de l’injectivité de la formation. L’analyse du potentiel de confinement est moins concluante; cependant, en l’absence d’interlits sédimentaires de confinement au sein de l’entassement basaltique, une minéralisation rapide pourrait être nécessaire pour réduire le risque de fuite.Los sistemas hidrogeológicos alojados en basaltos han sido propuestos para el secuestro geológico del CO$_{2}$ basado en investigaciones de laboratorio que sugieren rápidas tasas de mineralización. Sin embargo, a pesar de este atractivo teórico, poco es lo que se conoce acerca de los impactos de la heterogeneidad de la fracturas basálticas sobre la migración de CO$_{2}$ en escalas comerciales. Evaluar la adecuación de los reservorios de basalto es complicado por el conocimiento incompleto de las distribuciones de las fracturas a las profundidades requeridas para el secuestro de CO$_{2}$. En este trabajo, se usa un experimento numérico para investigar los efectos de la incerteza espacial para el secuestro geológico de CO$_{2}$ en reservorios en la llanura oriental del Snake River, Idaho (EEUU). Se investigaron dos criterios: (1) inyectividad en la formación y (2) potencial confinamiento. Se recurre a varias herramientas teóricas para desarrollar un enfoque basado en datos de campo para la caracterización geoestadística del reservorio y se ilustra su implementación. Se simula el secuestro geológico de CO$_{2}$ durante 10 años a un ritmo constante de inyección de ~680,000 toneladas por año y modelado por una simulación de Monte Carlo tal que la variabilidad del modelo es una función de la heterogeneidad espacial del reservorio. Los resultados sugieren que la distribución espacial de la permeabilidad de las estructuras heterogéneas es una influencia que controla la inyectividad en la formación. El análisis del confinamiento potencial es menos concluyente; sin embargo, en la ausencia de intercalaciones sedimentarias confinantes dentro de la pila basáltica, es necesaria una rápida mineralización para reducir el riesgo de escape.实验室研究显示以玄武岩为主的水文地质系统矿化速率快,所以被选择用来进行CO$_{2}$地质封存。然而,抛开这些理论上的吸引力,在商业规模上,对于玄武岩断裂的不均匀性对CO$_{2}$运移的影响的了解却很少。由于对在CO$_{2}$封存要求的深度处原位断裂分布掌握的不完全,使得评价玄武岩储存库的合适性变得非常复杂。在本次研究中,利用数值试验来研究储存库空间的不确定性对在美国爱达荷州东斯内克河平原进行CO$_{2}$封存的影响。研究了储存库的两个标准指标:1)构造的内射性和2)封闭性。调用了若干个理论工具,以建立一个基于场地的分析储存库地质统计学特点的方法,方法的实现以插图的形式进行了说明。用Monte Carlo模型对CO$_{2}$的地质封存进行了模拟,模拟时间为10年,CO$_{2}$的注射速率是恒定的,为680,000吨/年,模型的变异是储存库空间非均质性的函数。模拟结果显示,不均匀渗透结构的空间分布是构造内射性的控制因素。虽然关于封闭性的分析结果不是那么的确切,但是,在缺少封闭沉积夹层的玄武岩中,快的矿化速率对于减少CO2泄漏的危险性还是非常必要的。Sistemas hidrogeológicos compostos por basaltos têm sido propostos para o sequestro geológico de CO$_{2}$, face a resultados de investigação laboratorial que sugerem taxas de mineralização rápidas. No entanto, apesar desta motivação teórica, é escasso o conhecimento sobre o impacte da heterogeneidade da fraturação dos basaltos na migração do CO$_{2}$ injetado a escalas comerciais. Avaliar a adequação de reservatórios basálticos é complicado, pelo conhecimento incompleto sobre a distribuição in-situ da fraturação às profundidades exigidas para o sequestro de CO$_{2}$. Neste trabalho, recorre-se a uma experiência numérica para investigar os efeitos da incerteza na heterogeneidade espacial para o sequestro geológico de CO$_{2}$ na Planície oriental do Rio Snake, Idaho (EUA). Investigam-se dois critérios: (1) capacidade de injeção na formação e (2) potencial de confinamento. Diversas abordagens teóricas são utilizadas para desenvolver uma caraterização geoestatística do reservatório, com base em dados de campo, e a sua implementação é demonstrada. O sequestro geológico de CO$_{2}$ é simulado, considerando 10 anos de injeção a volume constante de ~680,000 toneladas por ano, recorrendo a simulações de Monte Carlo, em que a variabilidade do modelo é função da heterogeneidade espacial do reservatório. Os resultados sugerem que a distribuição espacial de estruturas permeáveis heterogéneas é uma influência controladora da capacidade de injeção na formação. A análise do potencial de confinamento é menos conclusiva; porém, na ausência de níveis confinantes sedimentares no seio da sequência basáltica, a mineralização rápida pode ser necessária para reduzir o risco de ocorrência de fugas. |
