Natural CO2 leakage and responses of shallow aquifers in the southern Xining Basin

摘要:
CO2地质封存是重要的CO2减排技术之一, 其中泄漏风险评价是该技术实施的关键, 而天然CO2泄漏研究是获取泄漏评价关键信息的重要手段。通过野外调查, 现场测量以及水样、气样和岩样的采集和测试, 分析了西宁盆地南部CO2的来源、泄漏特征和其泄漏到浅部含水层后相关的响应规律。结果显示西宁盆地南部发现了多处天然CO2泄漏, 包括高含CO2的泉、废弃钻孔的间歇水气喷发和CO2井喷等多种形式的泄漏显示, 以及与之伴随的较大范围的钙华。气体中CO2占绝对含量, CO2碳同位素介于-2.5‰~-0.4‰, 指示泄漏的CO2来源于深部无机成因, 并通过深部断层泄漏进入浅部承压含水层, 与地下水一起径流、排泄或在浅部二次聚集。CO2泄漏区域土壤222Rn浓度异常(超过9 000 Bq/m3), 这可作为识别隐伏泄漏通道的重要方法。地下水对CO2的泄漏产生了明显的物理化学响应, 包括现象独特的井筒间歇喷发(喷发200 s和停止130 s), 地下水水化学特征的变化(比如pH值的降低(小于7), 电导、HCO3-、Ca2+的升高和氧同位素的漂移), 以及地表大面积特征明显(比如气泡构造)和成分以方解石为主的钙华。该场地天然CO2泄漏特征与美国Utah场地具有很高的相似性。研究成果不仅能为CO2地质封存的泄漏风险评价提供天然类比知识, 而且还有助于了解地球深部地质活动。
Abstract:Objective Geological storage of CO2 is an important technology for reducing CO2 emissions, and the assessment of CO2 leakage risk is the key to its implementation. Research on natural CO2 leakage is an important means to obtain key information for leakage assessment.
Methods The source of CO2, the characteristics of CO2 leakage, and the relevant response of shallow aquifers to the CO2 leakage have been analysed through field investigations, on-site measurements, and sampling and testing of water, gas and rock.
Results A number of natural CO2 leakages have been discovered in the southern Xining Basin, including CO2-rich springs, CO2-driven cold-water geysers from abandoned wells, and CO2 blowouts, as well as large-scale travertine associated with them. CO2 is the dominant component in the gas phase, and the abundance of carbon isotope of CO2 is between -2.5‰ and -0.4‰, indicating that the leaked CO2 comes from a deep inorganic origin, leaks into shallow confined aquifers through deep faults, and flows and discharges with the groundwater or accumulates secondarily in shallow formations. The concentration of soil 222Rn in areas of CO2 leakage is abnormal (over 9 000 Bq/m3), which can be used as an important method of identifying hidden leakage channels. The groundwater has a pronounced response to CO2 leakage, including a unique phenomenon of intermittent eruptions (eruption for 200 s and incubation for 130 s), changes in groundwater hydrochemical characteristics (e.g., a decrease in pH, an increase in conductance and HCO3- and Ca2+ concentrations, and a drift in oxygen isotopes), and travertine composed mainly of calcite with a bubble structure at the surface. The natural CO2 leakage characteristics at this site are highly similar to those in Utah, USA.
Conclusion The results of this study not only provide knowledge of natural analogous for leakage risk assessment of CO2 geological storage, but also contribute to the understanding of geological activity in the deep earth.
