- Background , The Department of Energy Office (DOE) of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management is working to refine priority research areas aimed at ensuring that CO2 sequestration (permanent storage) resources in the U.S continue to be utilized and managed efficiently and safely. Several research areas are being considered, including: (i) studies aimed at enhancing the current understanding of basin-scale…, Approach , The research objective of this project was to evaluate the relative importance of selected geologic factors and their uncertainty on stress and pore pressure response to CO2 injection via finite-element-based geomechanical simulations. Finite-element-based geomechanical simulations were performed to evaluate the relative importance of selected geologic factors and their uncertainty on stress and…, Accomplishments , Our base case simulation was successful in capturing the spatial and temporal pore pressure changes induced by the 3-year injection load. After the base case analysis was developed and calibrated, we performed parametric investigation of the influence of alternative mechanical properties on system behavior under the CO2 injection loading conditions. Of the mechanical properties examined, Young’s…Type: IRD Synopsis
