TLDR
In this paper, a coupled reservoir-geomechanical modelling effort at Aztbach-Schwanenstadt gas field was conducted to evaluate the hydro-mechanical response of the reservoir rock and overburden formations to historical and current gas production rates, different CO 2 injection scenarios and its long-term storage.About:

A screening criterion for selection of suitable CO2 storage sites
TL;DR: In this article, a new screening criterion for the CO2 storage site selection based on a group of key parameters including reservoir and well types, classes of minerals, residual gas and water saturations, subsurface conditions, rock types, wettability, properties of CO2, and sealing potentials was proposed.

Present-day stress analysis of the St. Lawrence Lowlands sedimentary basin (Canada) and implications for caprock integrity during CO2 injection operations
TL;DR: In this paper, a geomechanical analysis of the St. Lawrence Lowlands sedimentary basin is presented to reliably estimate the maximum sustainable fluid pressures for CO 2 injection that will not reactivate pre-existing faults in the caprock thereby inducing a breeched CO 2 reservoir.

Leakage risk assessment of a CO2 storage site: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review different mechanisms that may lead to the generation of leakage paths in CO2 geological sites and attempt to provide a risk assessment scheme that may improve the safety of injection and storage operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some geomechanical aspects of geological CO2 sequestration
TL;DR: The role of geomechanics is to assess the mechanical impact of stress changes on seals, wells and faults, and recommendations can be given regarding the overall suitability of the depleted geological reservoir for CO2 disposal and safe CO2 injection as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, three distinct regional patterns of maximum compressive horizontal stress (SHmax) orientation can be defined from these data: a consistent NW to NNW SHmax stress orientation in western Europe, a WNW-ESE SHmax orientation in Scandinavia, similar to western Europe but with a larger variability of SHmax orientations; and a consistent E-W SHMAX orientation and N-S extension in the Aegean Sea and western Anatolia.

Reservoir Stress Path: The Depletion and the Rebound
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a field case based upon a reservoir operated by Saga Petroleum in the North Sea and show that the total minimum stress in the reservoir seems to be governed by the maximum depletion of the zone and not by the present level of pore pressure.

Building geomechanical models for the safe underground storage of carbon dioxide in porous rock
TL;DR: In this article, geomechanical modeling is applied to provide crucial information for the safe engineering of subsurface CO2 injection and the modeling of storage capacity for underground CO2 storage.
