Reservoir Heterogeneity Controls Long-Term CO2 Mineral Trapping and Self-Sealing in Deep Saline Aquifers: Insights from Reactive Transport Simulations
Geological carbon sequestration in deep saline aquifers is considered one of the most promising strategies for mitigating anthropogenic CO2 emissions; however, the influence of reservoir-scale heterogeneity on long-term trapping efficiency and storage permanence remains insufficiently quantified.
