Mathematical Characterization of Inorganic Salt Precipitation From the Reaction of CO2 With Formation Brine and Its Application

In the process of CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR), CO2 interacts with formation brine containing high concentrations of scale-forming ions to produce inorganic salt precipitation, which blocks the rock pore throats, changes the characteristics of the reservoir, and thereby reduces the oil recove...
