AB  - Managed aquifer recharge is a water storage and recovery method. However, fines 
      migration during water injection can significantly affect formation permeability. 
      Several studies have analyzed fines migration in sandstone and soil samples, but 
      few studies have investigated fines migration in carbonate rocks. In addition, 
      the effect of neither temperature nor type of ion on fines migration has been 
      investigated in carbonate rocks. Our experiments use filtered-deaired distilled 
      water and pure salts to prepare the injection fluids. Rock samples are injected 
      with 0.63 mol/L brine followed by four sequential injections of diluted brine: 
      0.21 mol/L, 0.1 mol/L, 0.05 mol/L, and 0 mol/L (distilled water). Pressure 
      difference is recorded across the rock sample throughout each experimental run 
      and used to calculate permeability. Effluent is collected to characterize 
      produced fines and elements. pH and particle concentration measurements are 
      collected frequently. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of inlet and 
      outlet faces pre- and post-injection were taken to observe any changes. For the 
      experimental runs performed at 25  degrees C, permeability decrease was 99.92% of the 
      original permeability for seawater experimental run, 99.96% for NaCl brine 
      experimental run, and nearly zero for CaCl(2) brine experimental run. For CaCl(2) 
      brine experimental run, the only observed mineral reaction is mineral 
      dissolution. For NaCl brine and seawater experimental runs, both mineral 
      dissolution and cation exchange are observed, of which the latter appears to be 
      the main mechanism for fines migration. Due to mineral dissolution, permeability 
      increase is observed during 0.21 mol/L and 0.1 mol/L injection at high 
      temperature. However, during distilled water injection, permeability decrease is 
      found to be similar at both low and high temperatures.
