<p>Gas injection into geological storage sites displaces existing water in rock pore spaces, triggering lateral secondary imbibition. This phenomenon involves the migration of water from areas with higher water saturation to replenish the displaced water. The lateral distance over which this imbibition occurs is critical for understanding injection/withdrawal flow

Carbon Storage Studies. There are two main avenues being used and developed for in-situ storage of CO 2.The first is injecting CO 2 into porous sedimentary reservoirs (enhanced oil recovery using CO 2 is an example). The second is storage within mafic or ultra-mafic porous reservoirs where CO 2 can chemically react with abundant metallic divalent cations (Ca 2 +,

Deep-sea basalt would also be advantageous for storage because it forms stable carbonates, poses no risk of leakage, has a dense CO 2 phase, has an impermeable sedimentary cover, and offers the possibility of stable hydrate formation when CO2 escapes from cold formations at shallow depths (Goldberg and Slagle, 2009; Goldberg et al., 2008).
