“…Recent field observations (Chadwick et al., 2010; Dance et al., 2019; Hovorka et al., 2006), experiments (Jackson et al., 2018; Krishnamurthy et al., 2019; Trevisan, Pini, et al., 2017), and numerical simulations (Li & Benson, 2015; Meckel et al., 2015) suggest that residual trapping is only a fraction of the capillary trapped fluid (Gershenzon et al., 2017). Instead, CO 2 accumulates beneath sub‐seismic heterogeneities due to variations in capillary entry pressures (Ni & Meckel, 2021; Saadatpoor et al., 2010). These isolated accumulations are at much higher saturations than residual.…”
