Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Dolomite Rock

Carbon dioxide sequestration in deep saline aquifers is being considered as one of the more important geological<br>sequestration types due to the potentially large storage capacity when compared to some other geological sequestration<br>reservoirs. CO2 will react with formation rock when injected in dolomite formations, due to the rock dissolution and<br>precipitation of reaction products permeability may be changed. Several parameters affect these interactions including<br>pressure, temperature, brine composition, CO2 injection rate, and overall injection scheme.
