Effect of Vertical Heterogeneity on Long-Term Migration of CO2 in Saline Formations
Abstract For deep injection of CO2 in thick saline formations, the movements of both the free gas phase and of dissolved CO2 are sensitive to variations in vertical permeability. A simple model for vertical heterogeneity was studied, consisting of a ...
