Abstract: The research and application of CO 2 storage and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) have gradually emerged in China. However, the vast unconventional oil and gas resources are stored in reservoir pores ranging from several nanometers to several hundred micrometers in size. Additionally, CO 2 geological sequestration involves the migration of fluids in tight caprock and target layers, which directly alters the transport and phase behavior of reservoir fluids at different scales. Micro- and nanoscale fluidics technology, with their advantages of in situ visualization, high temperature and pressure resistance, and rapid response, have become a new technical approach to investigate gas–liquid interactions in confined domains and an effective supplement to traditional core displacement experiments. The research progress of micro–nano fluidics visualization technology in various aspects, such as CO 2 capture, utilization, and storage, is summarized in this paper, and the future development trends and research directions of micro–nano fluidics technology in the field of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are predicted.
