Measurement of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Capillary Trapping in Core Analysis

Capillary trapping has been identified as a fast and effective method to render injected carbon dioxide (CO2) immobile as disconnected pore-scale droplets surrounded by brine. We measure trapped CO2 saturations in sandstones at conditions representative of storage locations. We compare the unsteady...
