CO2 Leakage Risk [Fault Planes]
1. In deep saline aquifers, whether, could we assess Fault Sealing Accuracy measurements by back-calculating Fault Sealing Capacity in the absence of Exploration and Production Data?
2. Whether (a) seismic interpretation; (b) quantification of clay in the fault planes; and (c) probabilities for sand continuity from wells to faults – would remain to be sufficient towards assessing the impact of uncertainty associated with the estimated Fault-Sealed Column Heights?
3. How important are (A) the impact of burial depth? & (B) the impact of Clay Content in the Fault Planes – towards assessing CO2 Leakage pathways?
