Upper Miocene sandstones in the Sava Depression (Northern Croatia) are already reviewed as the potential target for CO2 based EOR process or carbonation in the reservoir brine. In general such lithology, even rich with aluminosilicate minerals, is not the most favourable rock medium for efficient CO2 sequestration in minerals. In fact, those are ultramafic rocks and accompanied minerals. But, such process naturally happens in sandstones reservoirs where CO2 is injected and subdued to carbonation. The unfavourable is time scale of such sequestration which is expressed into 104-105 years period. However, Upper Miocene sandstones in the Sava Depression could incorporate up to 25% of aluminosilicate minerals and often are laterally changed with transitional lithofacies between dominantly pelitic and psammitic ones, rich in clay minerals. Both facts are favourable for CO2 storage into such lithofacies during carbonation and forming secondary minerals. The numerical rate or percentage of total injected carbon-dioxide that could be expected immobilised on such way into analysed sandstones could be given after laboratory testing and yearly based monitoring of injection wells.
