Abstract

Chemico-microstructural and mineralogically-induced time-dependent mechanical alterations of the reservoir rock found in the peripheral zone of a CO2-based EGS is experimentally investigated. A series of uniaxial compressive and triaxial (under 30 MPa constant confining pressure with different temperatures; 25-300 °C) strength tests on granite specimens reacted in ScCO2+water medium for different time periods was performed by coupling acoustic emission (AE) technique. The results were compared with those for intact and water-reacted rock specimens in order to better understand this weakening phenomenon. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also incorporated to evaluate the microstructural and mineralogical alterations.
