Assessment of Reservoir Mechanical Robustness in Geological Carbon Sequestration

Explore the critical aspects of reservoir mechanical alteration resulting from CO2 injection in this comprehensive presentation on geological carbon sequestration. Delve into the dynamic and static mechanical properties of reservoir rocks, and examine the key factors affecting these properties during CO2 injection. Gain insights into commonly applied methodologies for assessing reservoir mechanical robustness, including petrophysical and hydrological properties, diagenesis, micro-CT imaging, and geomechanical tests. Learn how these techniques are used to determine a reservoir's ability to withstand CO2 injection, addressing crucial concerns such as wellbore instability and induced seismicity in carbon sequestration projects.
