CO 2 injection (EOR and sequestration technique) creates the amalgamation of hydrocarbons, CO 2 , and aqueous brine in the subsurface. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to investigate the diffusivity of hydrocarbon molecules in a realistic scenario of supercritical CO 2 (S...
