Hybrid implicit–explicit XFEM simulation of injection-induced seismicity: resolving multi-scale rupture nucleation and dynamics

Abstract. This study introduces a new hybrid implicit–explicit (IMEX) time-integration method for simulating injection-induced fault reactivation within a fully coupled hydromechanical extended finite element (XFEM) framework. Modeling these systems is inherently difficult becaus...

Coupled Geophysical and Technoeconomic Industrial Growth Constraints on Geological Carbon Storage Scale-Up: Application to UK Offshore Resources

Abstract Geological carbon dioxide storage is central to meeting many national climate change commitments, but large-scale deployment may be limited by both techno-economic rates of growth and physics-based processes imposed by subsurface geology. We develop a modeling framework...
