TL;DR: This work focuses on the importance of 3D facies-based heterogeneity and connectivity on advection-diffusion transport of dissolved CO2, and model the phase behavior with the accurate cubic-plus-association equation-of-state.

TL;DR: In this article, a review addresses recent advancements in computational and experimental approaches, which led to improved understanding of structure and transport of fluids, including hydrocarbons, electrolytes, water, and CO2 in heterogeneous subsurface rocks such as those typically found in shale formations.

TL;DR: In this article, accessible mineral surface areas are determined for a sample from the reservoir formation at the Nagaoka pilot CO2 injection site (Japan) using a multi-scale image analysis based on synchrotron X-ray microCT, SEM QEMSCAN, XRD, SANS, and FIB-SEM.

TL;DR: In this article, a field-scale CO2 injection pilot project was conducted as part of the Southeast Regional Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) at Cranfield, Mississippi, where higher-order finite element simulations of the compositional two-phase CO2-brine flow and transport during the experiment were presented.

TL;DR: This work provides evidence that that cofermentation of amino acids (Stickland reaction) meets all of organismal needs, thus functioning as a keystone metabolism in enriched and natural microbial communities from hydraulically fractured shales, rationally designed to optimize biogenic methane yields and minimize undesirable chemistries in this engineered ecosystem.
