A Review on the Influence of CO 2 /Shale Interaction on Shale Properties: Implications of CCS in Shales
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a developed technology to minimize CO 2 emissions and reduce global climate change. Currently, shale gas formations are considered as a suitable target for CO 2 sequestration projects predominantly due to their wide availability. Compared to conventional geologica...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a developed technology to minimize CO 2 emissions and reduce global climate change. Currently, shale gas formations are considered as a suitable target for CO 2 sequestration projects predominantly due to their wide availability. Compared to conventional geological formations including saline aquifers and coal seams, depleted shale formations provide larger storage potential due to the high adsorption capacity of CO 2 compared to methane in the shale formation. However, the injected CO 2 causes possible geochemical interactions with the shale formation during storage applications and CO 2 enhanced shale gas recovery (ESGR) processes. The CO 2 /shale interaction is a key factor for the efficiency of CO 2 storage in shale formations, as it can significantly alter the shale properties. The formation of carbonic acid from CO 2 dissolution is the main cause for the alterations in the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the shale, which in return affects the storage capacity, pore properties, and fluid transport. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of CO 2 exposure on shale properties is comprehensively reviewed, to gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of CO 2 /shale interaction on shale properties.
