In the first quarter of this DOE NETL project, we have initiated Phase I activities for researching and developing new technology to quantitatively model the rock physics effects of CO{sub 2} injection (both miscible and immiscible) in porous reservoir/aquifer rock systems containing oil-water phases. We have begun a thorough literature search to investigate all current, published methodologies and their limitations for calculating CO{sub 2}-oil and CO{sub 2}-brine properties, including currently available equation-of-state (EOS) models
