In carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep saline aquifers with porous and permeable rocks is one of the most feasible among various solutions to sequester CO2. Here, the TOUGH2 numerical simulator was validated with the analytical model developed predicting the CO2 behaviour in confined saline aquifers. The sensitivity of the numerical model was examined by changing the model of fluid relative permeability (RP) and capillary pressure (CP) functions. Corey's RP functions and Van Genuchten's CP function is most effective to capture the gas saturation (SG) well. The effect of CO2 injection, well orientation, and its length in a simplified saline aquifer model are also demonstrated. This study reveals that the horizontal well configuration is most acceptable. For the same injection well length (at 100 m), 22% drop in the pressure rise is computed in horizontal well as compared to its vertical counterpart.
