초록

이산화탄소 지중저장 시 암석 내부의 공극구조는 지층 내 이산화탄소의 거동에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 포항분지 영일만 지역에서 채취한 시추코어를 대상으로 X선 단층촬영 기법을 이용해 3차원 영상을 취득하고, 그 내부에 대한 정량적인 분석을 실시하였다. 세 가지 목표지층인 심도 740 m, 780 m, 810 m 부근에서 채취한 사암 시료(T1, T2, T3)의 공극률은 각각 25.22%, 23.97%, 6.28%로 분석되었다. 등가직경, 공극 부피, 공극 표면적, 국부두께 분석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 T1, T2 시료가 T3 시료에 비해 이산화탄소 지중저장에 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석 결과는 이산화탄소 주입 조건 결정, 지층 내 이산화탄소 유동 해석 등에 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In geological storage of $CO_2$, the behavior of $CO_2$ is influenced by pore network of rock. In this study, the drilling cores from Pohang Basin were analyzed quantitatively using three-dimensional images acquired by X-ray micro computed tomography. The porosities of sandstone specimens around 740 m-depth (T1), 780 m-depth (T2) and 810 m-depth (T3) which were target strata were 25.22%, 23.97%, 6.28%, respectively. Equivalent diameter, volume, area, local thickness of pores inside the sandstone specimens were analyzed. As a result, the microstructural properties of T1 and T2 specimens were more suitable for geological storage of $CO_2$ than those of T3 specimens. The result of the study can be used as input data of the site for decision of injection condition, flow simulation and so on.
