Effects of temperature on salt precipitation due to formation dry-out during CO₂ injection in saline aquifers

When CO 2 is injected into saline aquifers, salt precipitation will occur near the injection well. To investigate the effects of temperature on salt precipitation, a series of non‐isothermal numerical models were conducted by simulating the injection of cold CO 2 into the aquifers with relatively high temperature. Some thermal processes, the evolution of CO 2 plume, salt precipitation, the effects of gravity, and permeability reduction were...
