Effect of water salinity on permeability alteration during CO₂ sequestration

•Experiments were performed on Berea sandstone cores to simulate CO2 sequestration.•Results show that permeability alteration depends on the formation water salinity.•More chemical reactions occurred at high-salinity.•For core samples that contained 60 g/L water, the permeability decrease was 20%.•F...
