Small pores in high specific surface clay-rich caprocks give rise to high capillary entry
pressures and high viscous drag that hinder the migration of buoyant carbon dioxide CO 2 …

This review presents a comprehensive overview of the technologies and science of Carbon
Capture and Storage (CCS), including a brief description of the key aspects of Carbon …

CO2 capture and geologic sequestration is one of the most promising options for reducing
atmospheric emissions of CO2. Its viability and long-term safety, which depends on the …

Caprock formations are intended to prevent upwards carbon dioxide (CO 2) migration to the
surface during CO 2 geological storage. Caprock interaction with CO 2, as well as its …

The safe long-term storage of gas/CO2 in spatially limited underground volumes requires
the combination of a structural trap with intact structural integrity and a suitable low …

The successful commercial scale deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) requires
assurance of the confinement of the injected CO 2 at each potential storage site. The critical …

The adoption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a method of mitigating anthropogenic
CO 2 emissions will depend on the ability of initial geological storage projects to …

Caprocks are impermeable sedimentary formations that overlie prospective geologic CO2
storage reservoirs. As such, caprocks will be relied upon to trap CO2 and prevent vertical …

The petrophysical properties of cap rocks and intraformational barriers can constrain the
carbon dioxide (CO2) containment volumes of potential geosequestration sites …

CO2 storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs is considered to be one of the most practical
options for reducing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and has been practiced in different …
