About this document

CO2 Injection Methods: Supercritical vs. Dissolved by henrique lopes is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study that compares supercritical and dissolved CO2 injection schemes using numerical modeling. The study finds that supercritical CO2 migrates upward and outward more than dissolved CO2, which sinks and immobilizes more following injection. Dissolved CO2 also distributes more uniformly throughout heterogeneous formations. The areal footprint of supercritical CO2 is initially about half that of dissolved CO2 but extends significantly after injection. Dissolved injection may reduce
