The Effects of Dissolved Sodium Chloride (NaCl) on Well Injectivity during CO2 Storage into Saline Aquifers
Abstract: Among different options proposed for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage and sequestration, saline formations seem promising due to their wide availability and potentially large storage capability. As supercritical (SC) CO2 is injected into the formation, a variety of coupled processes takes place. Halite precipitation requires particular interest due to its potentially significant impact on permeability impairment, and thus reduction of injectivity in the near well bore region. The selected candidate for …
