2.3.1 Induced seismicity

Induced seismicity may be related to the injection of CO2 into deep aquifers (Sminchak et al., 2002) and (depleted) hydr...

2.3.2 Passive seismic monitoring

Passive seismic monitoring provides a different kind of information to controlled-source seismic techniques. In passive ...

2.3.3 Mechanical reaction of overburden

The caprock and overburden are an integral part of a CO2 storage project. The caprock must be able to bear the change in...
