Uncertainty plagues every effort to model subsurface processes and every decision made
on the basis of such models. Given this pervasive uncertainty, virtually all practical problems …

Leakage of CO 2 or brine coming from CO 2 geological storage sites constitutes a risk for
overlying fresh groundwater resources. One of the main risks is the potential alteration of …

A screening and ranking framework (SRF) has been developed to evaluate potential
geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2) storage sites on the basis of health, safety, and …

CO 2 storage in geological formations is currently being discussed intensively as a
technology with a high potential for mitigating CO 2 emissions. However, any large-scale …

1.1 Background Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one option for mitigating
atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide thereby contributes in actions for stabilization of …

Long-term cap rock integrity represents the single most important constraint on the long-term
isolation performance of natural and engineered CO2 storage sites. CO2 influx that forms …

Capture and geological storage of CO2 is emerging as an attractive means of economically
abating anthropogenic CO2 emissions from point sources. However, for the technology to be …

Abstract Model calibration and history matching are important techniques to adapt
simulation tools to real-world systems. When prediction uncertainty needs to be quantified …

A semi-quantitative risk assessment is presented for the storage of gas oil in depleted salt
caverns in the Twente region, the Netherlands. It is based on a bow-tie model, in which an …

The effective geological storage of fluid CO 2 in porous subsurface rock will require the
ability to track, and identify the origin of, any CO 2 seepage measured at the near surface. In …
