Quantifying Salt Precipitation During CO2 Injection: How Flow Rate, Temperature, and Phase State Control Near-Wellbore Crystallization
Karol M. DÄ browski, Mohammad Nooraiepour, Mohammad Masoudi
Salt precipitation near injection wells can reduce permeability, induce excess pressure buildup, and reduce injectivity within days to weeks of CO2 injection, yet the pore-scale me…

How does surface wettability alter salt precipitation and growth dynamics during CO injection into saline aquifers: A microfluidic analysis
Karol M. DÄ browski, Mohammad Nooraiepour, Mohammad Masoudi +6
Salt precipitation triggered by the evaporation of formation brine into injected supercritical CO2 can cause injectivity and containment issues in near-wellbore regions. Predicting…
