Numerical modeling of CO2 mineralisation during storage in deep saline aquifers

Simulations are performed to evaluate the feasibility of a potential site within the Rotliegend sandstone formation in the Dutch subsurface at a depth of around 3000 m for CO2 sequestration using the numerical simulator CMG-GEM. Three CO2 storage trapping mechanisms are studied: (1) mobility trapping, (2) solubility trapping, and (3) mineral...
