Quantifying The Risk Of CO2 Leakage Along Fractures Using An Integrated Experimental, Multiscale Modelling And Monitoring Approach

Summary Existing CO2 storage sites have illustrated that intact low-permeability mudrocks are effective barriers to avoid upward migration of CO2 from the storage complex. However, widespread deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a means of climate change mitigation requires gigaton-scale CCS, rather than the few current megaton projects, to be deployed near large point sources of CO2. In the future, geological storage sites with...
