Mesoscale Assessment of CO₂ Storage Potential and Geological Suitability for Target Area Selection in the Sichuan Basin

Figure 3

Hydrodynamic conditions in the Sichuan Basin. The groundwater activities are very strong in the peripheral target exposure area. In contrast, the groundwater activities inside the basin are relatively weak, with better hydrogeological confinement. On the edge of the mountain around the Sichuan Basin and the eastern fold belt experiencing infiltration of fresh water due to the complex structure and strong water alternating.
