The rate of CO2 dissolution in crude oils is primarily controlled by mass transfer between CO2 and oil phases. In particular, mass transfer of CO2 component across the CO2-oil interface and the molecular diffusion of CO2 inside the oil phase control the rate of CO2 dissolution in the oil. The values...
