“…Indeed, water contact angles between 0°(strongly water-wet) and 170°(strongly CO 2 -wet) have been measured, where CO 2 -wettability mainly depends on the surface chemistry, and to a lesser extent on temperature, pressure, and brine composition. 13,27,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Wettability, as has been previously shown in laboratory experiments (at the mm to cm scale), has a significant effect on residual trapping 15,[40][41][42] and structural trapping. 12,13 However, despite this laboratory-scale evidence, the effect of wettability on reservoir-scale processes and associated storage capacity and containment security predictions has received little attention 27 and generally, though the wettability is incorporated in the pilot projects modeling via relative permeability curves and multiphase flow, the values are poorly constrained.…”
