A parametric analysis of capillary pressure effects during geologic carbon sequestration in a sandstone reservoir

During carbon capture and sequestration, capillary forces and buoyancy effects strongly influence CO 2 migration and plume geometry. To understand interactions between these processes, we implement a numerical modeling experiment of CO 2 injections in a sandstone reservoir to understand how parametric variability reported in the literature affects numerical predictions of CO 2 migration. We simulate ten years of supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 )...
