TL;DR: Active CO2 reservoir management (ACRM) as mentioned in this paper combines brine production with CO2 injection to relieve pressure buildup, increase injectivity, manipulate CO2 migration, and constrain brine leakage.

TL;DR: Active CO2 Reservoir Management (ACRM) as discussed by the authors combines brine extraction and residual-brine reinjection with CO2 injection, contrasting it with the conventional approach, which is called passive CO2 reservoir management.

TL;DR: In this article, the position of the fracture liquid front as a function of time, under some simplifying assumptions, is shown to obey a nonlinear integrodifferential equation, showing that the movement of the liquid front exhibits three major flow periods: (1) at early time, the frontal position is determined by the fracture inlet boundary condition and the gravity-driven flow behavior of the fractures with negligible influence by the matrix; (2) at intermediate time, matrix imbibition retards the frontal advance against the pull of gravity; (3) at late time,

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a cost analysis of treatment of typical subsurface saline waters found in sedimentary basins, compared with conventional seawater desalination using reverse osmosis.

TL;DR: To safely and permanently store high-level nuclear waste, the potential Yucca Mountain repository site must mitigate the release and transport of radionuclides for tens of thousands of years as discussed by the authors.
