Pore-Scale Investigation of Gas Exsolution from CO2/Water Solution during A Depressurization Process Relevant to Carbon Sequestration

Lead Institution

Stanford University

Principal Investigator

Sally Benson

Project type

Exploratory Research

A microscopic investigation of exsolution of CO2 from CO2 saturated brines is proposed. Exsolution of CO2 poses a poorly understood risk for geological sequestration of CO2 if saturated brines…

Pore-scale investigation of the evolution of residually-trapped CO2 droplets in the frame of geologic carbon storage

Lead Institution

Stanford University

Principal Investigator

Sally Benson

Carbon storage, the process where CO2 is injected into the subsurface where it is expected to remain trapped, is a technology that has the potential to greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions…
