This paper focuses on the progress in geomechanical modeling associated with carbon
dioxide (CO 2) geological storage. The detailed review of some geomechanical aspects …

Decoupled hydro-shearing has been a classic mechanism of fluid-induced seismicity for
decades. An alternative is coupled hydro-mechanical triggering, largely based on the theory …

We combine a finite element (FE) code, Defmod, and a finite difference (FD) code,
OpenSWPC, in modeling fault rupture and resulting ground motion. The rupturing process is …

Injection or withdrawal of fluid at depth may trigger felt seismicity. At a site with natural faults
or artificial fracturing cracks, understanding how to avoid triggering felt earthquakes plays a …

Hydraulic fracturing in shales generates a cloud of seismic—tensile and shear—events that
can be used to evaluate the extent of the fracturing (event clouds) and obtain the hydraulic …

Earthquakes can be triggered after pore pressure perturbations activate critically stressed
seismogenic faults, where the perturbations can originate from natural causes such as earth …

We design a fast ray tracing technique to simulate the response of seismic sources located
at depth such as passive data due to fluid injection, hydraulic fracturing, volcanic tremors or …

Microseismic events along preexisting zones of weakness occur in a reservoir due to pore
pressure buildup and fracturing during fluid injection. We have used a multiphase fluid-flow …

Earthquakes can be triggered after pore pressure perturbations activate critically stressed
seismogenic faults, where the perturbations can originate from natural causes like earth …

We present a quasi-static and hydro-mechanical fully coupled approach to the modeling of
inter-seismic triggering of seismicity in an arbitrary fractured and fluid-saturated poroelastic …
