Numerical modeling of formation damage by two-phase particulate transport processes during CO2 injection in deep heterogeneous porous media (2011, background): “Supercritical carbon dioxide interfacial tension and wettability is a complex function of chemical composition [51], pressure, and temperature [21].”
Capillary trapping for geologic carbon dioxide storage - From pore scale physics to field scale implications (2015, background): “…is in a dense super-critical phase, and brine on flat, pure mineral surfaces have been contradictory, with both water-wet and more neutrally wet conditions encountered (Hildenbrand et al., 2004; Chiquet et al., 2007; Yang et al., 2008; Chalbaud et al., 2009; Bikkina, 2011; Broseta et al., 2012).”
Residual CO2 imaged with X‐ray micro‐tomography (2011, methodology): “…1000 PV of scCO2 were injected at a flow rate of 2 mL/min (which corresponds to a capillary number Ncap of 10 −6; Ncap = with the Darcy velocity n, the scCO2 viscosity m (= 2.1 × 10 −5 Pa.s) [Fenghour et al., 1998] and the scCO2‐brine interfacial tension s (= 36.0 mN/m) [Chalbaud et al., 2009]).”
Pore-scale contact angle measurements at reservoir conditions using X-ray microtomography (2014, methodology): “Traditionally, however, this property could only be accessed directly on pure mineral surfaces, by the use of the dynamic sessile drop method [14,15], the captive bubble method [16] and in micromodel studies [9].”
Water‐CO2‐mineral systems: Interfacial tension, contact angle, and diffusion—Implications to CO2 geological storage (2010, methodology): “…methane production from hydrate bearing sediments [Seo et al., 2002; Sun et al., 2004; Watanabe et al., 2005], and the ability to inject and store CO2 in geological formations [Chalbaud et al., 2009; Chiquet et al., 2007; Hildenbrand et al., 2004; Plug and Bruining, 2007; Suekane et al., 2009].”
Measurements of the capillary trapping of super‐critical carbon dioxide in Berea sandstone (2011, background): “The interfacial tensions for the CO2‐brine, oil‐brine and mercury‐air systems are assumed to be 36.0 [Chalbaud et al., 2009; Chiquet et al., 2007], 48.3 [Zeppieri et al., 2001] and 485 mN m−1 respec- tively.”
