西オーストラリアのSouth-West Hub CCS貯留層を対象に、地震データ・動的シミュレーション・1次元力学モデルを統合した3D地質力学モデルを構築し、4D有限要素解析でCO2圧入に伴う応力・変形を評価した。30以上の断層をマッピングし、複数の圧入シナリオで断層安定性を解析した結果、CO2圧入は断層破壊リスクを大きく高めないと結論づけた。ただし熱応力は未考慮で、圧入井近傍では重要となり得る。
English
A 3D geomechanical model of the South-West Hub CCS reservoir in Western Australia integrated seismic, dynamic-simulation, and 1D mechanical-earth data, with 4D finite-element analysis tracking stress and deformation during CO2 injection. Fault-stability analyses across multiple injection scenarios indicate CO2 injection poses no substantial fault-failure risk, though thermal stresses near injection wells were not modeled.

日本のGX文脈において
日本はCCSをGX推進の重要技術と位置づけ、北海道・新潟などで実証が進む。断層再活性化リスク評価手法は、国内CCS事業の安全性・許認可・社会的受容性の議論に直接応用可能な知見を提供する。
In the global GX context
As CCS scales under net-zero pathways, geomechanical risk assessment of fault reactivation is central to regulatory approval and public acceptance. This study offers a calibrated workflow combining dynamic simulation and 4D finite-element modeling that can inform global CCS site-selection and monitoring standards.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Characterising the mechanical behaviour of porous subsurface reservoirs is essential for avoiding hazards such as wellbore failure, fault reactivation, seal leakage and gas migration during CO2 storage. Reactivation of faults is a particular concern when CO2 is injected into reservoirs that contain them. To address this, a geomechanical model (GM) was built for the South-West Hub (SWH) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) reservoir, drawing on data from the Harvey field wellbores in Western Australia. The 3D GM combined a geological model with seismic data, dynamic-simulation output, and one-dimensional mechanical-earth models. A 4D finite-element model was then used to capture how CO2 injection alters stress and deformation within the storage formation, and to characterise the failure behaviour and performance of the reservoir as injection proceeds. Effective-stress azimuth and magnitude were tracked throughout the injection period. Estimated magnitudes for Sv, SH and Sh across the study area show SH ranging from 22 to 75 MPa and Sh from 21 to 72 MPa. Fault strain responses are compared across a set of injection scenarios. Five separate reservoir-pressure and saturation profiles were used to calibrate the 3D model, which was then re-run repeatedly to refine the stress model against available leak-off test (LOT) data. The calibrated model was subsequently used to run fault-stability analyses and identify which faults are most prone to reactivation under the pore-pressure changes generated by ongoing CO2 injection. Over 30 faults intersecting the reservoir were mapped, mostly trending N-S in keeping with the dominant regional fault orientation. Combining the dynamic and geomechanical results indicates that CO2 injection does not pose a substantial fault-failure risk for the SWH reservoir. This assessment describes the isothermal, pressure-driven response: thermal stresses arising from injecting CO2 colder than the formation are not represented and may be significant near the injection wells.
