The architecture and fluid flow properties of shallow fault systems : implications for environmental monitoring of subsurface technologies

  • Christopher McMahon

Student thesis: Doctoral Thesis

Abstract

Action and solutions to combat the challenges of changing climate is needed. To meet global climate targets, there is an anticipation that there must be a scaling up of existing and emerging subsurface technologies (e.g. geological carbon dioxide (CO2) storage, energy storage (e.g., hydrogen) and geothermal energy). Many of these emerging technologies involve some element of subsurface fluid injection, storage, and withdrawal. Therefore key to secure and safe operation is robust site selection criteria, appropriate measuring, monitoring, and verification (MMV) systems and remediation procedures. Understanding the architecture of shallow fault zones (
