An enhanced analytical simulation tool (EASiTool) was developed to estimate CO2 storage capacity in saline aquifers. The tool provides a quantitative estimate of storage capacity for multi-well injection/extraction systems by applying novel analytical models for both closed- and open-boundary saline aquifers and analyzes the potential of enhancing storage efficiency by integrating active brine management (brine extraction technology). Brine extraction would enhance the storage capacity and partially control the pressure buildup. EASiTool includes a user-friendly interface and can be used to provide reservoir and basin-scale storage capacity estimates.
