... to the atmosphere. Because CO2 is less dense than water, the targeted CO2 injection reservoir should be overlain by low-permeability caprock formations that can sufficiently limit upward buoyancy-driven flow of the injected CO2. Rock mechanics plays an important role in the performance assessment of such a CO2...
