Interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravity forces on salt precipitation and injectivity loss during CO2 storage in saline aquifers

Salt precipitation during CO 2 injection into hypersaline aquifers can significantly impair injectivity. Understanding the controls on the magnitude and spatial distribution of salt precipitation is therefore critical. Here, we use TOUGH3 model to systematically investigate the c...
