Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is gaining interest as a secure, long-term solution for storing hydrogen in porous geological formations. In UHS, a cushion gas like CO2 is crucial to maintain the reservoir pressure and optimize recovery. The concept of wettability plays a fundamental role in determining the system's multi-phase displacement characteristics in the porous media. However, there is a gap in the existing literature regarding the wettability of sandstone rocks under geo-storage conditions when H2 and CO2 are injected as the bulk and cushion gases, respectively. To address this gap, we conducted a study investigating the wettability hysteresis phenomenon by …
