AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
In this paper we propose a stochastic non-cooperative meta-game approach to assess the role of uncertain CCS deployment on climate agreements among 28 European countries. The game model is identified through statistical emulation of a large set of numerica ...
This study presents a numerical investigation of the effects of coupled material properties on the caprock stability. A thermo-hydro-mechanical framework is proposed in order to reproduce the physical processes. The results indicate that for a given geomet ...
Fluid injection in deep geological formations usually induces microseismicity. In particular, industrial-scale injection of CO2 may induce a large number of microseismic events. Since CO2 is likely to reach the storage formation at a lower temperature than ...
Deep saline aquifers have a great potential for geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration and proper assessment of host and cap rock is needed to guarantee that the procedure is safe. Temperatures and pressures at which most of the possible host rocks ex ...
Geomechanical stability issues may arise due to induced thermal stresses because CO2 will generally reach the storage formation at a temperature lower than that of the reservoir. Cold injection will form a cold region around the injection well, which will ...
To meet the CO2 reduction targets and ensure sustainable energy supply, the development and deploy- ment of cost-competitive innovative low-carbon energy technologies is essential. To design and evaluate the competitiveness of such complex integrated energ ...
CO2 storage in geological formation, especially in deep aquifers, is considered as a compromising technology to reduce the impact of CO2 on the greenhouse effect. Practically, large-volume of CO2 could be injected at a high rate into a system which consist ...
Zoback and Gorelick [(2012) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 109(26): 10164-10168] have claimed that geologic carbon storage in deep saline formations is very likely to trigger large induced seismicity, which may damage the caprock and ruin the objective of keeping ...
Shales have become increasingly important because they play key roles in modern energy and environmental geomechanics applications, such as nuclear waste storage, non-conventional oil and gas operations and CO2 geological storage. Shale behaves in a quasi- ...
Thermo-mechanical effects are important in geologic carbon storage because CO2 will generally reach the storage formation colder than the rock, inducing thermal stresses. Capillary functions, i.e., retention and relative permeability curves, control the CO ...
