Implication

This analysis demonstrates enhanced CO2 storage capacity in saline aquifers, indicating potential for improved containment and reduced leakage risks.

Key Points

  • CO2 injection enhances storage capacity through mineral trapping, yet can reduce injectivity due to pore blockage.
  • Initial findings suggest that caprock integrity in Niger Delta formations shows adequate sealing capacity with minimal leakage risks.
  • Simulation using wellbore-reservoir modelling revealed the complexities of CO2-brine-rock interactions affecting containment.
  • Insights into site-specific factors will guide optimization of carbon capture and storage strategies in the Niger Delta.
