Abstract:Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) injection into saline aquifers is one method of mitigating anthropogenic climate change. To ensure secure storage of this CO 2 , it is important to understand the interaction of CO 2 injection and migration with geological layering. For example, seismic monitoring at the Sleipner pilot project suggests that the injected CO 2 is ponding against, and leaking across, a series of thin, intermediate seals.Here, we develop a gravity-current model for weakly compressible, two-phase fluid migrat… Show more
