Quantification of Viscous Creep Influence on Storage Capacity of Caprock

In the light of growing concerns for the climate change, it is of particular interest for governments to encourage efficient capture and safe storage of large amounts of carbon dioxide in the subsurface. In this perspective and in order to accurately predict the short and long-term response of the reservoir, a precise characterization of the geomechanical properties has to be carried out. In addition to the classical poroelastic properties,...
