이산화탄소 격리저장시스템의 역학적 안정성 평가를 위한 주입온도 및 주입량 시나리오 해석 = Scenario Analysis of Injection Temperature and Injection Rate for Assessing the Geomechanical Stability of CCS (Carbon Capture and Sequestration) System

국문 초록 (Abstract)

향후 국내에서 수행될 이산화탄소 지중저장 프로젝트의 성공적인 수행을 위해서는 현장 지질조건에 최적화된 주입 조건을 설계하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주입량 및 주입온도 등의 주입조건이 격리저장시스템의 역학적 안정성에 미치는 영향을 열-수리-역학 연계해석기법의 하나인 TOUGH-FLAC 해석기법을 이용하여 평가하였다. 저장시스템의 역학적 안정성은 기존 균열의 전단미끄러짐 발생가능성을 활동마찰각 및 응력원을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이산화탄소의 주입온도가 저류층의 초기온도보다 낮은 저온주입의 조건에도 열응력으로 인한 인장균열은 발생하지 않는 것으로 파악되었으나, 저류층에서 전단미끄러짐이 발생하는 결과를 보였다. 단위시간당 이산화탄소 주입량을 변화시킨 시나리오 해석에서는 단계별로 주입량을 감소시키는 주입시나리오에서 기존 균열들의 전단미끄러짐 발생 가능성이 가장 낮은 것으로 평가되었다.

For a successful accomplishment of Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS) projects, appropriate injection conditions should be designed and optimized for site specific geological conditions. In this study, we evaluated the effect of injection conditions such as injection temperature and injection rate on the geomechanical stability of CCS system in terms of TOUGH-FLAC simulator, which is one of the well-known T-H-M coupled analysis methods. The stability of the storage system was assessed by a shear slip potential of the pre-existing fractures both in a reservoir and caprock, expressed by mobilized friction angle and Mohr stress circle. We demonstrated that no tensile fracturing was induced even in the cold CO2 injection, where the injected CO2 temperature is much lower than that of the reservoir and tensile thermal stress is generated, but shear slip of the fractures in the reservoir may occur. We also conducted a scenario analysis by varying injected CO2 volume per unit time, and found out that it was when the injection rate was decreasing in a step-wise that showed the least potential of a shear slip.
