Physical Characteristics of Caprock Formations used for Geological Storage of CO<sub>2</sub> and the Impact of Uncertainty in Fracture Properties in CO<sub>2</sub> Transport through Fractured Caprocks

Capture and geological sequestration of CO2 from energy production is proposed to help mitigate climate change caused by anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Performance goals set by the US Department of Energy for CO2 storage permanence include retention of at least 99% of inj...
