Abstract

A series of thermodynamic simulations was carried out at varied physicochemical parameters within the framework of a single model experiment in a marginal part of an artesian basin. The transformation of the pore space is proved to be more significantly dependent on temperature than on the initial porosity of the rocks. The extent to which the water-rock system is open (or closed) plays a subordinate role in trans-forming the porosity of the rocks via indirectly controlling the leaching conditions of carbonate rocks. The filtration rate only insignificantly affects the saturation of the groundwaters at certain sites within the aquifer at given P-T parameters. In analyzing this criterion, the mineralogical composition of the host rocks plays the leading role.
