European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2015, EGU Division Energy, Resources & the Environment, ERE Measurements of H2 solubility in saline solutions under reservoir conditions: preliminary results from project H2STORE

A high-pressure/high-temperature reactor has been used to lead PVT and H2-solubility experiments in saline solutions covering conditions for which no data are available in literature: salinity up to halite concentration, pressure up to 200 bar and temperature up to 373 K. The hereby presented preliminary results show significant deviations from theoretical models. Further analysis and more measurements are needed to assess precision and reproducibility of these measurements; however they pinpoint the importance of experimental work to reliably constrain predictive models.
