“…30,46,50 These studies were focused on physical processes and mainly tracked changes in fluid pressure, velocity, and saturation to achieve part of the DOE's objectives, which include (1) determining whether CO 2 injection from the industrial processes is an economically advantageous way of producing more oil from the FWU, and (2) effectively storing anthropogenic CO 2 . Subsequent numerical modeling studies attempted to include chemical processes to quantify changes to the mineral and pore fluid composition of the reservoir and to assess the importance of mineral trapping for CO 2 [35][36][37][38][39]43,48,49 . Limitations to the studies were as follows: (1) the model did not treat petroleum, 35,48,58 (2) the size of the model domains was very small, 37,39,42,43,49 (3) the reactive surface areas applied for the mineral reactions were not field-specific, [36][37][38][39]43,48,49 (4) the water alternating gas (WAG) schemes used did not represent well those used in the field, 35,48,49 (5) the model did not implement the actual regional pressure gradient occurring in the field, 48 (6) the injection temperature at the wells was not the same as the temperature in the field, [37][38][39]42,43,48,49…”
