TL;DR: In this article, the importance of accounting for CO2 trapping in the relative permeability model for predicting the distribution and mobility of CO2 in the formation has been evaluated, and it is shown that the mechanism of capillary trapping can be exploited to improve the overall effectiveness of the injection project.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linear stability analysis of density-driven miscible flow in porous media in the context of carbon dioxide sequestration in saline aquifers is presented, based on the dominant mode of the self-similar diffusion operator, which can accurately predict the critical time and associated unstable wavenumber.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Laplace-Young equation for axisymmetric menisci is solved analytically in terms of elliptic integrals for all possible types of pendular rings and liquid bridges when the effect of gravity is negligible.

TL;DR: Field experiments were conducted to test ideas for fossil fuel carbon dioxide ocean disposal as a solid hydrate as a strong barrier between the liquid carbon dioxide and interaction with the sediments, and a pool of liquidcarbon dioxide on the sea floor would expand in volume more than four times, forming hydrate, which will dissolve.

TL;DR: The potential use of CO2 flooding would be considerably greater, if large quantities of the gas, extracted from power stations, were available at low cost as mentioned in this paper, but the cost of producing an extra barrel of oil ranges from $5 to $8.
