The Rock Physics Handbook: Tools for Seismic Analysis of Porous Media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present basic tools for elasticity and Hooke's law, effective media, granular media, flow and diffusion, and fluid effects on wave propagation for wave propagation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical relations between rock strength and physical properties in sedimentary rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, 31 empirical equations are summarized that relate unconfined compressive strength and internal friction angle of sedimentary rocks (sandstone, shale, and limestone and dolomite) to physical properties (such as velocity, modulus, and porosity).
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of the Basel 1 enhanced geothermal system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the steps that have been undertaken to create an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) at the Deep Heat Mining Project in Basel, Switzerland and suggest methods by which the risk may be reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geomechanics of CO2 storage in deep sedimentary formations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a review of the geomechanics and modeling of geOMEchanics associated with geologic carbon storage (GCS), focusing on storage in deep sedimentary formations, in particular saline aquifers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale impact of CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers: A sensitivity study on pressure response in stratified systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effects of interlayer communication through low-permeability seals. But they focused on the effects on shallow aquifers and evaluated the possible implications for shallow groundwater resources, rather than the CO2 plume itself, and concluded that large-scale pressure changes appear to be of more concern to groundwater resources than changes in water quality caused by the migration of displaced saline water.
