Nanoconfined Water Effect on CO2 Utilization and Geological Storage

Abstract Understanding nanoconfined water effect on CO 2 utilization and storage has tremendous implications in academic research and practical applications, especially for extremely low‐permeability shale reservoirs. Here, a new nanoscale‐extended cubic‐plus association equation of state is developed by including the confinement effects and intermolecular interactions, based on which the phase behavior and interfacial tension of the pure …
