Abstract

See full text

A method of pumping a fluid and reactive solid into a mineral formation includes the fluid reacting with the mineral formation to produce a nucleation product. The method may be used in shale formations to seal fissures and prevent leakage. The fluid used in this method may comprise CO2 and the nucleation products may be the products of carbonation reactions. A cement formed by reacting CO2 with a reactive solid under deep geological formation conditions is also disclosed.
