Capillary phenomena controlling the distribution of CO2 and reservoir brine depend on pore size (from mm to nm), wetting and interfacial properties. The pressure of the usually nonwetting CO2 phase relative to that of the native brine is the capillary pressure, Pc, which in combination with pore size, wettability, and...
