Fig. 4-14. Distribution of data points in the database of methane solubility in water and sodium
chloride brine, salinity vs. temperature

Figure 4-14 shows the distribution of data in the database of
methane solubility in water and sodium chloride brine by salinity and
temperature. Note that the solubility database contains very little data
for sodium chloride brine at temperatures higher than 527ºF (250ºC).
Figure 4-15 shows the distribution of data in the database of methane
solubility in water and sodium chloride brine by pressure and salinity.
