Multiphase Behavior and Fluid Flow in CO2 Sequestration

EasyChair Preprint no. 13672

Abstract

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a critical technology for mitigating climate change by reducing CO₂ emissions from industrial sources. The effectiveness of CCS relies heavily on understanding the multiphase behavior and fluid flow in geological formations where CO₂ is injected for long-term storage. This paper investigates the multiphase behavior and fluid flow dynamics during CO₂ sequestration, focusing on the interaction between supercritical CO₂ (scCO₂), formation brine, and the geological matrix. We review current literature, present a detailed methodology for analyzing multiphase flow in porous media, and discuss the results of numerical simulations and experimental studies. The findings highlight the importance of accurately modeling multiphase systems to ensure the safe and efficient storage of CO₂, offering insights into optimizing injection strategies and predicting long-term storage behavior.
