As hydration contributions to stability of macromolecular assemblies in aqueous solution,
hydrophobic effects are virtually universally acknowledged. Hydrophobic effects are widely …

Conspectus Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) is an important climate
change mitigation option along with improved energy efficiency, renewable energy, and …

The interfacial interaction between mineral surfaces and immiscible fluids determines the
efficiency of enhanced oil or gas recovery operations as well as our ability to inject and store …

Interfacial interactions, namely interfacial tension, wettability, capillarity and interfacial mass
transfer are known to govern fluid distribution and behavior in porous media. Therefore the …

CO 2 geological sequestration in depleted gas/oil reservoirs is regarded as a promising
strategy to mitigate CO 2 emission thanks to the well-developed nanoscale pore structures …

In the context of carbon geo-sequestration projects, brine–CO2 interfacial tension γ and
brine–CO2–rock surface water contact angles θ directly impact structural and residual …

In recent years, CO 2 injection into geological formations under a wide range of temperature
conditions, including super-hot geothermal reservoirs, has attracted much attention (ie …

Storage in subsurface geologic formations, principally saline aquifers, is currently under
development as a major approach to counter anthropogenic CO2 emissions. To ensure the …

A novel high-pressure apparatus and technique were developed to measure
CO2/water/solid contact angles (θ) in situ for pressures up to 204 bar. For two glass …

In this study, we investigate the dynamics of interfacial tension (IFT) between residual pore
water and gas mixtures containing H 2, CH 4, and H 2 S within subsurface porous media …
