MEETING BACKGROUND
CO2 storage requires often unprecedented levels of understanding of the subsurface and prediction of the long term behaviour of injected CO2. Numerical modelling of the CO2 injection process is therefore a key tool in successfully appraising, implementing and monitoring CO2 storage projects in the long term. A key area of research is geophysical modelling which can provide information on geomechanical deformation, fluid flow, leakage risks, verification and sensitivity of monitoring capabilities, and injection performance. This requires development of both existing geophysical modelling techniques and emerging novel integrated approaches. The integration of several complementary techniques, for example geomechanics, rock physics, petrophysics and synthetic seismics, can further improve our understanding and maximise the outputs of such techniques.
