Wettability variation and its impact on CO2 storage capacity at the Wyoming CarbonSAFE storage hub: An experimental approach

Article Environmental Sciences

The meaning of net zero and how to get it right

Sam Fankhauser et al.

Summary: The concept of net-zero carbon emissions is rooted in physical climate science but is operationalized through social, political, and economic systems. Seven critical attributes have been identified for the successful implementation of net zero, emphasizing the urgency of emission reductions, coverage of all emission sources, cautious use of carbon dioxide removals, and alignment with broader sustainable development objectives.

Experimental and theoretical investigation of the effects of pressure on the hydrodynamically driven droplet spreading

Sumaiya Farzana et al.

Summary: The dynamics of hydrodynamically driven droplets on different substrates under varying surrounding pressures were investigated. It was found that the spreading radius decreases and the advancing contact angle increases with increasing surrounding pressure.

Study of early time dynamics of drop spreading in different surrounding pressure

Sumaiya Farzana et al.

Summary: The study investigates the initial spreading phenomena of oil droplets on a partially wettable surface under various surrounding pressures, revealing that the spreading process is fast and the spreading radius evolves according to a power law, with the spreading exponent decreasing with increasing pressure.

New methods for qualitative and quantitative determination of wettability from relative permeability curves: Revisiting Craig's rules of thumb and introducing Lak wettability index

Abouzar Mirzaei-Paiaman

Summary: Craig's rules are widely used for qualitative determination of wettability. The first rule describes characteristics of water-wet rocks and oil-wet systems, the second rule judges water-wet and oil-wet systems based on the crossover point of relative permeability curves, and the third rule explains the relationship between interstitial water saturation and wettability. A modified version of Craig's second rule is introduced in the study, along with the new Lak wettability index.
