Mechanisms of fault rupture and induced seismicity in geothermal, fossil fuel, and carbon sequestration applications
Mechanisms of fault rupture and induced seismicity in geothermal, fossil fuel, and carbon sequestration applications
Session ID#: 120885
Session Description:
Fault rupture and induced seismicity has become a paramount consideration in geothermal and fossil fuel energy development and carbon sequestration management. The complexity of reservoir response to pore pressure change in Earth’s brittle and heterogeneous crust and requires an intensive multidisciplinary effort to understand fault rupture mechanisms. This understanding is necessary to establish robust foundations for sustainable energy development and sequestration effectiveness. In this session, we invite cutting edge research related to fault rupture with specific application to induced and triggered earthquakes in geothermal, fossil fuel and carbon sequestration applications. We welcome submissions from all fields of geophysics, geology, hydrology, geodesy, geomechanics including: numerical modelling, laboratory experiments, ground motion prediction, statistical and quantitative methods and seismic hazard assessment and mitigation strategies.
