Deep saline aquifers and depleted carbonate reservoirs are generally considered promising locations for subsurface CO2 storage. However, carbonate minerals particularly calcite can react with CO2-saturated brine, resulting in dissolution of carbonate and potentially mechanical compaction. Thus, it i...
