Cover Story: Effective storage of CO2 in subsurface formations, such as deep saline aquifers, relies on maintaining the water-wet nature of these formations to ensure rock integrity and storage efficiency. However, scCO2 exposure can alter wettability, potentially compromising storage efficiency. This study investigates the effects of three CO2 injection strategies—continuous scCO2 injection, water alternating with scCO2 injection, and simultaneous water and scCO2 injection—on the wettability of sandstone and limestone. Using contact angle measurements and core flooding techniques, the research highlights how different strategies impact fluid–rock interactions and the implications for optimizing carbon storage. The findings offer valuable insights for enhancing CO2 storage efficiency. View this paper
