OUR SERVICES

Geomechanics Expertise

  • Changes in subsurface pressure and stress can affect fault stability and influence induced-seismicity risk during injection, stimulation and storage operations.
  • Carbon Guardian evaluates in-situ stress, rock mechanical properties, fault orientation and pore-pressure changes to understand potential fault reactivation and subsurface response.
  • Our geomechanical assessments, including probabilistic fault-slip analysis, help operators evaluate risk scenarios, inform monitoring strategies and support operational decisions.

Deliverables

Stress & Rock Properties

  • Characterize in-situ stress magnitude and orientation.
  • Evaluate rock mechanical properties, strength and pore-pressure conditions.
  • Assess changes in effective stress during injection, stimulation and withdrawal.

Fault Stability Assessment

  • Evaluate fault geometry, orientation and prevailing stress conditions.
  • Assess fault slip tendency and sensitivity to pore-pressure changes.
  • Perform probabilistic fault-slip assessments to quantify potential reactivation.

Risk & Scenario Analysis

  • Evaluate fault response under different pressure and operating scenarios.
  • Identify critical uncertainties and conditions influencing seismicity risk.
  • Translate geomechanical findings into monitoring priorities and risk-informed operational decisions.
