Injection of Co2 into a Sandstone Rock Simulated Using a Typical Model (Left) and the Digital Rock M

Caption

Chematic of a sandstone sample receiving CO2 injection, indicating the difference in detail in the simple typical model (left) and the more realistic digital rock model used in the study (right). The greater detail provided by the digital rock model can help to identify the relevant processes of CO2 movement and the rock's potential for CO2 storage in natural rock reservoirs.
