  Fracture stiffness and flow properties have been measured in the laboratory using naturally fractured fault rock samples from the Little Grand Wash fault, Utah, USA. We compare fracture closure and related flow change during isotropic loading of two fractures which have been subject to various amounts of paleo‐reactive flow. The two tested fractures are described as (i) a small‐aperture fracture (0.1 mm) with negligible geochemical alterations of the fracture surface and (ii) a large‐aperture fracture (0.53 mm) where precipitates are observed on the fracture surface. X‐ray imaging is used for quantification of fracture aperture and fracture surface contact distribution. The petrographical characterisation using scanning electron microscopy and x‐ray powder diffraction is performed pre‐test and describes burial and uplift diagenesis as well as pulses of reactive fluid flow within the fault. The stress dependent flow and deformation experiment provides new data on fracture stiffness and flow for naturally developed fractures in siliciclastic rock. Fracture stiffness is found to be highest for the small‐aperture fracture due to its high fracture contact ratio and well‐developed surface mating during closure. For the naturally altered and rougher, large‐aperture fracture, fracture stiffness is lower and a highly stress dependent decay in flow is observed during initial closure. The results illustrate that a natural fracture with high contact ratio and well mated surfaces will close during loading, whereas a fracture associated with high flow rates and affected by previous geochemical alteration maintains a high flow rate compared to the host rock during similar loading.

  Unconformities, by definition, correspond to erosional or nondepositional surfaces, which separate older strata below, from younger rocks above, encapsulating significant time gaps. However, recent studies have highlighted the composite nature of some unconformities, as well as their heterochronous and diachronous character, which challenge the use of such a definition in a four-dimensional dynamic environment. The J-3 Unconformity, separating the Middle Jurassic Entrada Sandstone from the Upper Jurassic Curtis Formation (and laterally equivalent units) in east-central Utah (USA), is laterally variable, generated by either erosion-related processes such as eolian deflation, and water-induced erosion, or by deformational processes. The J-3 Unconformity is a composite surface, formed by numerous processes that interacted and overlapped spatially and temporally. This study therefore demonstrates the heterochronous, diachronous, and non-unique nature of this surface interpreted as unconformity, where one process can be represented by varying expressions in the stratigraphic record, and conversely many processes may result in the same stratigraphic expression.

  Large North Sea aquifers of high quality are the likely major target for 12 Gt of European CO2 emissions that should be stored in the subsurface by 2050. This involves an upscaling of the present combined injection rate from all European projects, which requires careful examination of the storage feasibility. Many aquifers are closed or semi-closed, with storage capacity mainly constrained by consideration of caprock failure criteria. Because the induced overpressure can propagate to sensitive regions far from the injector, the risk of caprock failure must be examined in terms of large volumes and for long times. This poses challenges with respect to fluid-flow simulation in the presence of highly uncertain aquifer properties. In this work, experts on geology, geophysics, geomechanics and simulation technique collaborate to optimize the use of existing data in an efficient simulation framework. The workflow is applied to the large North Sea Skade Formation, with potential for secondary storage and pressure dissipation in the overlying Utsira Formation. Injection at three locations in Skade gives an overall practical capacity of 1–6 Gt CO2 injected over a 50-year period, depending on the reservoir permeability and compressibility. The capacity is limited by local pressure buildup around wells for the lowest estimated reservoir permeability, and otherwise by regional pressure buildup in shallow zones far from the injection sites. Local deformation of clay due to viscoelastoplastic effects do not have an impact on leakage from the aquifer, but these effects may modify the properties of clay layers within the aquifer, which reduces the risk of lateral compartmentalization. Uplift of the seafloor does not impose constraints on the capacity beyond those set by pressure buildup.

  Exhumed reservoirs providing evidence of CO2 accumulation and transport in geological history offer a unique possibility to supplement our knowledge on leakage processes observed along faults and fractures. A field location and drill core from Central Utah, USA has been used to characterize mechanical properties and fracture distributions in multiple reservoir-caprock couplets where bleaching pattern around fractures provides evidence of fluid flow. Analysis shows that fractures are mainly observed in low porosity units corresponding to layers with high strength and stiffness. Microstructural characterization substantiates evidence of fracture aperture separated by areas with mineral precipitation clogging aperture. Minerals observed filling fractures are calcite, gypsum and pyrite, suggestive of precipitation from reducing fluids. Fracture aperture distribution and identification of mineralogical changes along the fracture surface provides important input for improved, novel analyses of CO2 transport properties of fractures and faults.

  Significant uncertainties occur through varying methodologies when interpreting faults using seismic data. These uncertainties are carried through to the interpretation of how faults may act as baffles/barriers or increase fluid flow. How fault segments are picked when interpreting structures, i.e. what seismic line spacing is specified, as well as what surface generation algorithm is used, will dictate how detailed the surface is, and hence will impact any further interpretation such as fault seal or fault growth models. We can observe that an optimum spacing for fault interpretation for this case is set at approximately 100 m. It appears that any additional detail through interpretation with a line spacing of ≤50 m simply adds further complexities, associated with sensitivities by the individual interpreter. Hence, interpreting at a finer scale may not necessarily improve the subsurface model and any related analysis, but in fact lead to the production of very rough surfaces, which impacts any further fault analysis. Interpreting on spacing greater than 100 m often leads to overly smoothed fault surfaces that miss details that could be crucial, both for fault seal as well as for fault growth models. This contribution is a case example showing how different picking strategies influence analysis of a bounding fault in terms of CO2 storage assessment. This is an example from the Horda Plaform: the Smeaheia potential storage site, 20 km East of Troll East. This is a fault bound prospect, and hence this bounding fault is required to have a high seal potential and a low chance of reactivation upon CO2 injection, increasing the pore pressure. Uncertainty in the seismic interpretation methodology will follow through to fault seal analysis, specifically for analysis of whether in situ stresses combined with increased pressure through CO2 injection will act to reactivate the faults, leading to up-fault fluid flow / seep. We have shown that changing picking strategies significantly alter the interpreted stability of the fault, where picking with an increased line spacing has shown to increase the overall fault stability. Surprisingly, differences in picking strategy show little influence on the overall fault seal (i.e. shale gouge ratio) of the fault.

  Unconformities, by definition, correspond to non-depositional or erosive surfaces, separating older strata below, from younger rocks above, and encapsulating significant time gaps. However, recent studies have emphasized the composite nature of some unconformities, as well as their heterochronous and diachronous character, which restricts the use of such a definition to a near one-dimensional setting. This study analyses the nature of the J-3 Unconformity, which separates the Middle Jurassic Entrada Sandstone from the Late Jurassic Curtis Formation (and laterally equivalent units) in east-central Utah (USA). Our detailed mapping and characterization indicates the J-3 “Unconformity” is in fact a composite surface generated by either erosion-related processes such as eolian deflation, and water-induced erosion, or by deformational processes. These multiple mechanisms interacted and overlapped in time and space, which demonstrates the composite and diachronous and non-unique nature of such boundaries. This contact has been historically interpreted as an unconformity, but our results show that this key stratigraphic surface is a time-transgressive flooding-ravinement surface that formed shortly before and during a series of transgressions that flooded the area during the Late Jurassic. Consequently, the regionally extensive, composite, heterochronous, and diachronous J-3 Unconformity does not fit the classic unconformity definition, after which an unconformity universally separates older from younger strata basin-wide. The J3 “Unconformity” case study highlights the fact that one process can be represented by varying expressions in the stratigraphic record, and conversely many processes may result in the same stratigraphic expression. Consequently a revised definition of unconformity is discussed, focusing on processes and associated environmental changes, while abandoning its time-barrier aspect. This investigation also exemplifies some of the implications on subsurface analyses that the inaccurate characterization of the subseismic complex characters of such major stratigraphic bounding surfaces can have. These inaccuracies may lead to imprecise timing and sediment budget predictions, and ultimately have strong implications for basin evolution and reservoir models. Key words: Unconformity, transitional basin, composite surface, ravinement, time-transgressive

  Our current understanding of sub-surface CO2 sequestration feasibility derives mainly from valuable small-scale projects, which have mostly been working at injection or human time scales. These projects, however, have not been operational long enough to fully assess flow and/or seepage at longer time scales relevant for subsurface CO2 storage (e.g. > 10 kY). Many examples of fluid escape have been documented in the offshore subsurface environment (e.g. seismic chimneys), and natural seeps found on land, both active and relict, offer informative analogues to subsurface fluid migration. Of note are the natural seeps located in east-central Utah, USA that are easily accessible and represent suitable onshore counterparts to the offshore fluid escape features. These seeps can improve our understanding of geological and geomechanical factors controlling subsurface CO2 containment and the expression of fluid escape in geophysical images. A critical concern is how to account for features that are detrimental to subsurface storage containment and are at scales below seismic resolution. This multidisciplinary project aims to address the challenge by collecting surface and subsurface datasets at mesoscopic scales that, through viable upscaling, will be implemented in seismic investigations and reservoir-seal models. Moreover, the project builds upon previous studies detailing the complex development of the Jurassic sedimentary basin in question (Zuchuat et al. 2018; 2019; in press) but is also relevant for the Horda Platform region (Aurora and Smeaheia) or other prospective North Sea CO2 storage sites. Overall, this next research phase specifically focuses on the detailed, post-depositional history of the targeted interval in Utah, addressing one fundamental question: what are the thresholds for detecting CO2 seeps in the subsurface? This encompasses more targeted questions: • What is the detailed geological footprint of CO2 flow along strata, faults, and fractures? • How did the CO2 flow migrate through a heterogeneous and transitional, faulted reservoir-seal complex? • Can seepage from the storage compartment be identified by seismic imaging? • Can detailed geological datasets and related geophysical models verify the existence of – and facilitate quantification of CO2 volumes (saturation) required to create offshore geophysical chimneys, and thereby improve integrity assessment of prospective North Sea CO2 reservoirs?

  The Gassum Formation on the Norwegian Continental Shelf serves as the principal case study for the CO2-Upslope project. The top surface of this formation is gently sloping, and characterized by a number of macro-scale structural traps, a few large faults, a large number of small faults, and small-scale depth variations that can be inferred and extrapolated from the seismic data. In the study presented in this paper, we estimate the amount of macro- and sub-scale trapping potential of the formation based on interpreted 2D seismic lines and identified faults. The seismic lines provide the depth of the caprock at each point along straight lateral paths. In the available data, a few dozen such lines cross the study area at various angles. A number of medium and large faults could be explicitly identified and mapped, as they correlate between several of these lines. In addition, hundreds of small-scale faults are only visible as discontinuities along individual lines. The extent and shape of these small faults between the seismic sections cannot be explicitly known from the data. In order to investigate trapping potential, we start out by constructing multiple realizations of the top surface, constructed to be faithful to both large-scale topography and small-scale statistical properties. We use a tensor spline surface approximation to represent the surface trend, with added stochastic small-scale variations consistent with the statistical properties of the line data. Moreover, we include a distribution small-scale faults that are only visible as discontinuities in the seismic lines by adding assumptions on their general orientations and lengths. At the timescales associated with long-term CO2 plume migration, it can generally be assumed that vertical equilibrium has been reached and that the CO2 slowly flows as a thin wedge right under the top surface, driven by gravity forces. Based on this assumption, we apply spill-point analysis and upscaling techniques on our sets of top surface realizations to explore the possible range of values for total structural trapping and plume retardation potential, and how they depend on the assumptions made. We also study the impact of the placement of the injection site, and how much of the total structural storage potential can be actually realized based on the position of the site and the injection strategy.

  In the ICO2P project [1] a monitoring scheme for carbon capture and storage is developed with the aim to use noble gases as signatures for capture products. One approach to capture CO2 is amine-based temperature swing absorption. During such processes there is a potential for depletion of radiogenic noble gases from the fossil source, due to the addition of a gas phase void of radiogenic noble gases. The influence on the noble gas fingerprints of such techniques is investigated by single, analysed samples with full isotope resolution. This is combined with in-line, continuous noble gas measurements with a portable mass spectrometer [2]. This is a new approach that will provide knowledge of the uniqueness and temporal variations of noble gas fingerprints in the product stream from CO2 capture operations. The feasibility of such an on-site measurement system was successfully tested at a CO2 capture testing facility in Norway (TCM). Matching of the data with the reservoir source combusted at that time, forms the basis for setting up geochemical analytical schemes in mixing scenarios. Monitoring data from CO2 product streams are key in designing leakage detection schemes for future storage sites.

  The tide-dominated, Upper Jurassic Curtis Formation crops out in Eastern-Central Utah, overlying the continental to marginal marine Entrada Sandstone. The contact between the two sedimentary formations is formally identified as the J-3 Unconformity, which can be traced over significant distances. It has since been regarded as a “simple” subaerial unconformity, followed by a third order transgression within an enclosed basin and the resulting deposition of the tide-influenced Curtis Formation. However, careful inspection of the different facies and their sub-regional correlation clearly shows that the essence of the J-3 Unconformity is not merely characterised by a long-lasting phase of subaerial exposure. It instead displays evidence of an intricate poly-erosional history, happening during short-lived syn-depositional transgressive and regressive periods. The initial bounding surface was locally altered by processes associated with development of the Curtis Formation, and the nature of their impact is strongly process-dependent. Pre-Curtis erosional processes mainly involved aeolian deflation and fluvial incision, creating a basinwide gentle relief. Syn-Curtis erosional mechanisms were controlled by the distribution and magnitude of tidal forces within the basin, resulting in a steeper and more localised relief in comparison with pre-Curtis widespread denudation. Furthermore, sedimentary processes alone can’t explain the present-day relief observed with the J-3 Unconformity. Indeed, tectonic played, at various scale, a key role in the funnelling of the various erosional forces and the distribution of the depocentres, with (i) m-scale grabens and horsts structures, and (ii) hydroplastic sand remobilisation, both observed within the uppermost strata of the Entrada Sandstone, as well as (iii) syn-Curtis sub-regional tectonic uplift. This study shows that reducing an unconformity to a single process is insufficient. Instead, careful mapping and understanding of such a schizophrenic surface can provide a non-negligible amount of information regarding the dynamic of a basin and its subsequent infill.
