A simple approach for the estimation of CO2 penetration depth into a caprock layer
Caprock is a water-saturated formation with a sufficient entry capillary pressure to prevent the upward migration of a buoyant fluid. When the entry capillary pressure of caprock is smaller than the pressure exerted by the buoyant CO2 plume, CO2 gradually penetrates into the caprock. The CO2 penetra...
