Effect of CO2 Injection Temperature on Caprock Stability
Abstract Deep saline aquifers are promising candidates for long-term CO2 storage, provided they don’t leak. However, injection of CO2 causes pressure buildup and affects the geomechanical stresses in the caprock. If CO2 is injected at a temperature...
