Abstract:Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is usually implied in geological formations because; they can provide the pore volumes needed to store large amount of CO2; they have adequate permeability required for efficient injection; and they are widely distributed geographically. They also possess the seal (Cap rock) needed to keep the stored CO2 in place. Of all the sedimentary formations, saline aquifers have the largest global sequestration capacity. Saline aquifers might exist at the bottom of an oil reservoir tha… Show more
