Data tables associated with velocity modeling of supercritical pore fluids through porous media at reservoir conditions with applications for petroleum secondary migration and carbon sequestration plumes

A time-dependent form of Darcy’s Law was used to model pressure-driven fluid flow within homogeneous, isotropic, low-permeability carrier beds exhibiting a broad range of rock and fluid properties likely encountered in a variety of sedimentary sequences (Burke, 2022). In the study by Burke (2022), thermodynamic equations of state were used to determine thermophysical properties of supercritical pore fluids under reservoir pressures from 0–200 MPa (0–29,000 psi). This Data Release disseminates the numerical data tables for the Darcy flow timescales and velocities of methane and supercritical carbon dioxide used in that study.
