Geological carbon storage is one of the technologies required to arrive at the ambitious yet
realistic net-zero emission target and climate change neutrality. Injected CO 2 in geological …

Effective storage and containment of injected fluids, over a range of spatial and temporal
scales, is reliant upon the sealing capacity of the lithologies overlying geological stores. Low …

Tamusu mudstone, located in Inner Mongolia, is being recognized to be the potential host
formation in deep HLW disposal across China. This paper describes diverse laboratory …

Understanding the temporal evolution of fracture transport properties in shales is of
increasing importance for the long-term safe operation of many underground engineering …

As part of the European ACT-sponsored research consortium, DETECT, we developed an
integrated characterisation and risk assessment toolkit for natural fault/fracture pathways. In …

Fractures control fluid flow in ultra-low permeability reservoirs due to their much higher
permeability. Recognition, mapping, and characterization of both natural and hydraulic …

Top seals and overburden above reservoirs at geological carbon capture and storage (CCS)
sites can be major concerns when they are at risk of being mineralogically and texturally …

We explore may continue to flow from the lower to the upper layer. This implies that injection
should be stopped once the injected volume matches the static capacity of the formation in …

This contribution proposes a numerical microstructural modelling approach to investigate
stress-induced seismic velocity changes on anisotropic rocks. By introducing pre-existing …

Red mudstone has low compressive strength and weak water resistance. Assessing its
mesostructure has attracted numerous investigations to explain the macroscopic behaviors …
