Potential Benefits of Horizontal Wells for CO<sub>2</sub> Injection to Enhance Storage Security and Reduce Leakage Risks

Potential Benefits of Horizontal Wells for CO<sub>2</sub> Injection to Enhance Storage Security and Reduce Leakage Risks

This study used numerical simulations of CO<sub>2</sub> storage to identify the benefits of horizontal wells for geological carbon storage, such as enhancing CO<sub>2</sub> trapped in porous media due to relative permeability and capillary hysteresis. Two injection schemes we...
