Impact of CO2 -Induced Geochemical Alteration on The Mechanical Integrity of Reservoir and Caprock in Saline Aquifers
Rising carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions accelerate the deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in saline aquifers, yet the quantitative integration of geochemical alteration and geomechanical response remains limited, particularly in assessing effective stress and the fracture-pressure margin. This study addresses...
