Sequestered CO2 may leak along annular spaces of old boreholes. Capillary heterogeneity controls the spatial distribution of CO2 gas in shallow aquifers and its dissolution rate.
We have found evidence of a trapped and compressed gas phase in mudrocks from New Mexico, Texas, and Mississippi. In all cases, the mudrocks are overlain by a shallow aquifer, and some are underlain by deeper aquifers. We find that the average capillary pressure (the difference in the pressures between the gas and water phases) range from about 2 to 15 MPa. When these rocks are drilled, the gas phase equilibrates with the atmosphere, and the capillary pressure drops, sometimes leading to the development of fully saturated conditions around the borehole. Trapped and compressed gases in these rocks prevent them from fully wetting and can preclude groundwater flow across the units. We are studying the physics driving this phenomena and its potential impact on recharge, flow, and transport processes in the shallow subsurface.
We conduct a variety of site characterization studies at low-level and transuranic-level radioactive waste disposal sites. These studies focus on geologic and hydrogeologic characterization of low-permeability media and flow and transport processes in the subsurface.
