Numerical Simulation of Induced Seismicity in Carbon Capture and Storage Projects

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology offers a promising solution to control and reduce CO2 emissions. Changes in pore fluid pressure within the injection zone can induce low-magnitude seismic events. The induced seismicity associated with CCS needs to be properly addressed in order to obtain public acceptance for the technology and also to prevent possible CO2 leakage from the storage site due to fractures or fault-slip in the faults...
