TOUGH2/ECO2N
code was used to simulate transportation of CO2 plume in the deep
saline aquifer of lower part of the Yancheng Formation in Subei basin. A fault
was added to the conceptual model to evaluate the leakage risk after CO2
injection. Simulation results indicate that the effect of multilayer capping
for CO2 sequestration is not good because of the clay strata with
small thickness and relatively high permeability, although the lower part of
the Yancheng Formation has three sequences’ structure (multiple sand-clay
layers) and the sand stratum
has high permeability and high porosity.
