ANGUS ESG SOLUTIONS, CANADA, DOUG.ANGUS@ESGSOLUTIONS.COM DOI Number: https://doi.org/10.66733/IEGL9743 Introduction The energy transition will require more critical minerals, with many of these mineral deposits being located deep underground posing significant safety and technological challenges. Underground mining operations generally encounter adverse stress conditions, the resulting response can be seismic events occurring either very soon, or after sustained perturbation of the in-situ stress over several years. It has been recognized that closely monitoring and characterizing seismic response is non-negotiable for underground safety and therefore plays a key role in the operational success of a mine. With increasing depth, seismic hazard increases as [...]

Subsequent exploration programs have acquired more than 24,000 km of 2D seismic and approximately 7,000 km² of 3D seismic data, along with the drilling of more than 270 exploratory and development wells (Willis et al., 2017). These integrated exploration efforts have resulted in the identification of at least [...]

KATHLEEN DOREY PETREL ROBERTSON CONSULTING LTD, CALGARY, AB, CANADAKDOREY@GLJPC.COM https://doi.org/10.66733/MEGN9486Summary This paper outlines the considerations for predictive modelling of CO2 sequestration in potential subsurface reservoirs. There are a number of considerations and data required to fully understand and enable prediction of the potential plume growth upon injection. These include understanding and modelling of the host rock, modelling the injected fluids, the ability to detect the plume and thresholds as well as anticipated fluid saturations over time. These considerations, as well as workflows and models to achieve future detection, are discussed in the following sections. Introduction Case studies of CO2 sequestration projects, [...]
