Empowering the Assessment of Carbon Capture and Storage with Unity

For carbon capture and storage (CCS) to be effective, CO₂ and reservoir rock interactions must be predicted. Here, we assess the mineralogy and texture of a Caspian sandstone from the Acorn CCS project. The sample contains a significant component of skeletal feldspar and calcite (>8%). These minerals and textures are known to enhance reactivity with supercritical CO₂. Therefore, geomechanical models must account for carbon mineralisation, which could impede CO₂ flow.
