Impact of CO₂ hydrates on injectivity during CO₂ storage in depleted gas fields: A literature review

Carbon dioxide capture and storage in subsurface geological formations is a potential solution to limit anthropogenic CO₂ emissions and combat global warming. Depleted gas fields offer significant CO₂ storage volumes; however, injection of CO₂ into these reservoirs poses some potential challenges for the...

Direct Evidence of Salinity Difference Effect on Water Transport in Oil: Pore-Scale Mechanisms

Low salinity water flooding is a common technique for enhancing oil recovery; however, the mechanism behind the low-salinity effect, positive or negative, is still not fully understood. In the proposed mechanisms, osmosis and emulsification are considered as two potential reasons for explaining the oil remobilization, but the specific...
