Capillary Pressure Sensitivity in Modeling CO2 Injection

Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration consists in injecting and storage the gas into a geologic formation as a means of mitigating the greenhouse effect. Among the storage sites, saline aquifers are very promising because of their large capacity and wide availability. In this work, we perform a sensitivity analysis on the response of a flow simulator to study the impact of capillary pressure in CO2 injection and storage. Capillary pressure is...
