An enhanced analytical simulation tool (EASiTool) was developed to estimate CO2 storage capacity in saline aquifers. The tool provides a quantitative estimate of storage capacity for multi-well injection/extraction systems by applying novel analytical models for both closed- and open-boundary saline aquifers and analyzes the potential of enhancing storage efficiency by integrating active brine management (brine extraction technology). EASiTool includes a user-friendly interface and can be used to provide reservoir and basin-scale storage capacity estimates. The software and user manual are available for download at http://www.beg.utexas.edu/gccc/EASiTOOl/.
