Abstract
SALSA_python (Semi-Analytical Leakage Solutions for Aquifers) is a software that computed semi-analytical solutions for hydraulic head and brine leakage in multilayered aquifer–aquitard systems with geologic pressure forcing. It can simulate brine leakage into aquifers in a multi-aquifer-aquitard system with multiple injection and leaky wells. This situation is encountered in underground CO2 storage wherein brine leakage from pressurized reservoirs into aquifers is of concern. SALSA_python calls the original SALSA[1] subroutines in python by using the salsa2.so library. This enables the incorporation and coupling of SALSA computations into existing python-based codes and tools. SALSA_python is available for Linux and Mac operating systems.
