Influence of Grain Size Distribution and Varying Heterogeneity on Local Capillary Trapping
Abstract Simulations of buoyancy-driven CO2 migration indicate that as the degree of heterogeneity in CO2 storage domain increased, CO2 migration patterns evolved from ‘dispersed’ capillary channels with minimal rock contact to back-filled ‘compact’ ...
