Unravelling fault properties and behaviour in CO2 geological storage projects

CO2SafeQuest aims at enhancing integrity risk assessment of CO2 storage sites containing geological faults and providing solutions to reduce fault's risks of reactivation and leakage during CO2 storage operations, thus ensuring long term containment of the CO2 and security of the storage. This project especially aims at closing remaining gaps in understanding of the dynamic changes of fault zones by providing new experimental results and modelling workflows.
