Oilfield chemistry
This paper presents an experiment investigating dissolution of basaltic primary minerals and conditions favorable for secondary phase formation under deep subsurface storage conditions.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of chemical additives strontium chloride and barium hydroxide in accelerating CO₂ trapping mechanisms, their effect on dissolution of carbonate-bearing minerals, and resulting poroelastic changes in the host rock.
This study reviews subsurface microbial activity, biomineralization reactions, and mechanisms prevalent for bioremediating wells, stabilizing cements, and increasing trapping during CO₂ injection and storage.
