CCS Halite Precipitation

In this video, you’ll see how salt begins to crystallize around the wellbore as the injected CO₂ dries out the brine, reducing permeability and threatening long-term storage effectiveness.

Whether you’re screening new storage sites or optimizing ongoing injection plans, accounting for halite is key to operational success.

Learn how halite impacts your CCS workflows:

  • Observe where and how halite precipitation begins near the injection well
  • Understand the drying-out mechanism triggered by supercritical CO₂
  • Identify zones most at risk of reduced injectivity
  • Learn how advanced simulation helps de-risk your CCS design

 

Halite precipitation is easy to miss, but costly to ignore. Get ahead of the risk and ensure smoother CCS operations.

About This Resource

This simulation video reveals a critical yet often overlooked risk in CCS projects—halite (salt) precipitation caused by CO₂ injection into saline aquifers. While invisible to the eye, halite buildup can severely impact injectivity, storage performance, and project economics.

Watch now to understand how modeling halite precipitation can help protect your CCS investments.
