CO2/Brine Relative Permeability and Residual Trapping Data

British Geological Survey research analyzes residual saturation trapping of CO2 in sandstone reservoirs. Experimental results indicate 13–92% of injected CO2 can be residually trapped, providing evidence for storage security assessments. The data supports modeling of leakage event probabilities and financial mechanisms for carbon capture and storage projects.

Use Cases

• Model residual CO2 trapping capacity in sandstone reservoirs using the reported 13–92% saturation range.
• Analyze the timescale difference between residual trapping (years-decades) and mineralisation (hundreds-thousands of years) for project risk assessment.
• Calibrate geological storage security models with laboratory measurements of CO2/brine relative permeability.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a peer-reviewed publication in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control with a specific DOI.
• Focuses on sandstone, the most common target lithology for carbon storage projects.
• Provides a quantified evidence base for residual trapping, with a concrete saturation range of 13–92%.

Limitations

• The dataset's underlying structure, specific columns, and sample size are not described in the provided input.
• Data is based on laboratory measurements, which may not fully capture conditions at industrial-scale field sites.
• The publication date (2014) suggests the core experimental data may not reflect the most recent research.
