Injection of CO₂ into saline storage aquifers is often accompanied by drying of the formation water and salt precipitation. Subsequent salt clogging of a well bore and the near wellbore rock matrix may lead to injectivity impairment. In this paper we present medium-scale experiments on salt precipit...

Salt clogging has been recognized as an important factor for injectivity impairment in the CO₂ injection wells. While only a small amount of field experience with salt clogging has been reported to date, a large number of experimental and numerical studies have been published on the topics of inject...
