Modelling of Carbon Dioxide Leakage in Abandon Wells using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Greenhouse gas emission (GHG) has become a serious threat to the environment due toemitting high CO2 concentration and thus depleting ozone layer. One of the potential mitigations is using carbon sequestration process by injecting CO2 back to underground. However, the stored CO2 has a potential to l...
