Mineralogical composition has a great influence on the mechanical behavior and the micro-cracking process of crystalline rocks for CO2 and natural gas storage. This study numerically investigates the influence of mineralogical composition (i.e., quartz content) of a dominantly felsic phaneritic igne...
