“…Al-Zaidi, Fan, and Edlmann (2018) showed that the pore pressure due to CO2 injection into porous rock depends on the phase of the CO2. Given the variation in pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions of reservoirs as shown by thousands of borehole bottom hole data (KGS, 2003), the thermodynamics and phase behavior (Ricketts, 2016), as well as the solubility of CO2 in brine (Rumpf, Nicolaisen, Öcal, & Maurer, 1994), there will be undissolved CO2 and the undissolved CO2 will exist in different phases alongside brine in the reservoir for a long time (Bachu, 2000;Holloway et al, 2006;Peter et al, 2020;Plug & Bruining, 2007;Xie et al, 2016). Ennis-King and Paterson (2001;2003) and Blunt et al (2013) predicted this time to be in thousands of years.…”
