Basalt-H2-brine wettability at geo-storage conditions: Implication
Among all gas geo-storage sites, basaltic formations have attracted limited attentions in recent years, specially for large-scale storage of CO2. However, the suitability of the basaltic formations for large-scale H2 storage is completely unknown. Wettability of these geological formations is an important parameter for gas geo-storage process as it determines the capacity of gas to
