Experimental and Simulation Data on CO2 Capillary Trapping in Captain Sandstone

Supporting data from a 2021 study on CO2 capillary trapping heterogeneity includes experimental measurements and numerical simulation files. The dataset contains code to reproduce all figures from the published paper, provided by the British Geological Survey. It demonstrates the impact of geological heterogeneity on carbon dioxide storage.

Use Cases

• Reproduce main CMG simulation results using the provided input variable files from the 'Main simulations' folder
• Analyze experimental capillary trapping data contained in the 'Other figures' folder code
• Validate numerical models of CO2 storage by comparing simulation outputs with the supplied experimental data

Strengths

• Data directly supports a peer-reviewed publication in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control
• Includes both experimental measurements and numerical simulation outputs for cross-validation
• Provided code is organized into folders with a README for detailed usage instructions

Limitations

• Dataset structure and specific variables are not explicitly listed, requiring exploration of the code files
• Scope is narrowly focused on the Captain Sandstone formation, limiting generalizability
• Data volume and row counts are unknown, complicating assessment of analytical scale
