Abstract:
Geological safety assessment is an important basis for the development of carbon storage engineering. To research the reservoir model of natural CO
2 gas can demonstrate the feasibility of carbon storage project built in the deep salt water layer. The monitoring of CO
2 leakage can be used as a demonstration for the geological safety evaluation of the carbon storage under emergency. Through using the carbon dioxide (CO
2) capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) concept, the formation, migration and accumulation model of CO
2 gas reservoir in Ping'an region of Qinghai province have been analyzed in this paper. Results show that:①the natural CO
2 gas in this region is inorganic gases. ②the high content of CO
2 gas from the intermittent high pressure flowing wells (ZK10) reveals that the mixed layer of CO
2 gas and water is contained in the cretaceous strata in eastern Qinghai. ③Minhe and Xining Groups are two sets ideal strata to storage CO
2 gas. The channel network of CO
2 gas reservoir is connected each other by secondary fracture, and the location of fracture intersection is a good development area for highly purified of mantle-derived CO
2 gas, which is also the most beneficial region of carbon storage projects in the future.
