Abstract

This study, conducted as part of the ROCCS project, investigates the potential of coal seams for CO 2 sequestration through in situ tests. The in situ tests, performed at Experimental Mine Barbara in Mikołów, Poland, involved injecting CO 2 through a horizontal well into a coal seam, with variable well lengths and injection parameters. The experiments included monitoring for CO 2 leakage and migration within the coal seam. The objective was to examine the correlation between the CO 2 injection rate and the coal–CO 2 contact area, monitoring for any potential leakage. The total mass of CO 2 injected was about 7700 kg. Significant leakage, probably due to the formation of preferential pathways, prevented pressure buildup in the injection well. The results provide insights into challenges regarding CO 2 injection into coal seams, with implications for the design of commercial-scale CO 2 storage installations.
