Abstract
For carbon capture and storage (CCS) in geological formations to be scientifically viable, we must be able to model and monitor the effects of geomechanical deformation on the integrity of the caprock. Excess deformation may open fractures, providing pathways for CO2 leakage from the reservoir. An acceptable geomechanical model must provide a good match with field observations. Microseismic activity is a direct manifestation of mechanical...
