Interplay Between Fault Architecture and Coupled Processes in Geologic Carbon Sequestration, Hydrogen Storage, and Geothermal Energy
Interplay Between Fault Architecture and Coupled Processes in Geologic Carbon Sequestration, Hydrogen Storage, and Geothermal Energy
Session ID#: 279861
Session Description:
Subsurface energy-related technologies involve injecting, circulating, and extracting fluids from the subsurface. Critical aspects related to faults and fractures that must be better understood and managed for large-scale deployment of these technologies are (1) discontinuity architecture and permeability evolution, (2) fault and fracture flows, and (3) geomechanical deformation, including fault instability. This session welcomes observational and modeling approaches including field, analytical, numerical, and data-intensive methods that aim at better understanding, quantifying, monitoring, and managing 1-3 above. Submissions are encouraged from a broad range of disciplines including, but not limited to geology, geomechanics, hydrogeology, reservoir engineering, geophysics, rock physics, and computation.
