Impact-driven pressure management via targeted brine extraction-Conceptual studies of CO2 storage in saline formations

► Pressure management via brine extraction increases capacity of storage formations. ► This study introduces the concept of impact-driven pressure management (IDPM). ► IDPM involves optimization of brine extraction to meet local performance criteria. ► Various IDPM schemes are examined for a hypothetical CO2 storage scenario. ► IDPM allows for a significant reduction in the brine extraction volumes.
