Minimally intrusive geophysical methods are required to monitor CO2 leakages from underground storage reservoirs. We investigate the impact of gaseous CO2 on both electrical conductivity and electrokinetic properties of two limestones during their drainage. These data are contrasted with measurements performed on one clay-free sandstone. The initial NaCl brine concentrations before drainage (from 8.5 to 17.1 mMol/L) correspond to the limit between freshwater and slightly brackish water. These values are representative to saturated brine formations inside which CO2 can be stored. Using these water salinities, the surface conductivity of the samples represents less than 5% of the overall electrical conductivity. A CO2 release leads to an increase of the electrical conductivity of the rock during drainage in limestones and no change in sandstone. This increase in the electrical conductivity is due to the dissolution of calcite with the concomitant release of Ca2+ and HCO3- in the pore water. It is not due to the CO2 dissociation in the pore water in the pore pressure range 0-0.5 MPa and at a temperature of T = 20 degrees C. The measurements of the streaming potential show a substantial decrease of the streaming potential coupling coefficient and zeta potential magnitudes after a CO2 release in carbonates. This observation is explained by the increase of the ionic strength of the pore water in the course of the experiment. This change can be used, in turn, to determine calcite dissolution rates from the measurement of the electrokinetic properties.
