This 3D visualization captures CO2 blobs inside the pore geometry of rock. Color variations indicate the pressure state of the fluids. These kinds of images are used to quantify the amount of CO2 trapped for different injection scenarios (trapping efficiency) as well as the pressure conditions underground after the gas is trapped.
