Abstract:

This is a fundamental study of trapping of non-wetting fluids in porous media. When injecting CO₂ into an aquifer for carbon storage, the non-wetting phase (CO₂) is trapped due to capillary forces. This process is investigated in the laboratory for analogue fluids.

We then design an injection strategy to maximise CO₂ storage capacity and efficiency on the field scale – incorporating experimental and pore scale modelling results. A streamline based simulator is modified for this purpose.
