DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nImproving energy accesswhile mitigating environment
 al impacts requiresthe development of subsurface systems at an unprecedent
 ed scale. These systems\, however\, are complex\, with fractures and fault
 sas key structural discontinuities.These structures control the movement o
 f fluids\, and are responsible for hazards including groundwater pollution
 \, earthquakes\,or geomechanical deformation. The scientific challenge lie
 s in quantifyingand reducinguncertaintyin the behaviorof these systems—n
 ecessary to safely scale up operations\, butdifficult due to limited acces
 s\, heterogeneity\, and complex physics.In this talk\, I will present two 
 computational frameworks to tackle this challenge when assessing(1) fault 
 leakage during CO2sequestration\, and (2) induced seismicity during reserv
 oir operations. In the first part\, I will describe a new methodology to m
 odel multiphase flow properties of fault zones\, including anisotropy and 
 uncertainty\, andits applicationto field-scale simulation models. In the s
 econd part\, I will present a coupled model of multiphase flow and geomech
 anics of the Wilmington Field\, the largest in the Los Angeles Basin.Thism
 odelprovides a unique opportunity to assess the long-term impacts of reser
 voir operations on seismic hazard\, and to develop guidelines for hydrogen
  storage in tectonically-active settings.\n\n\n\nBio\n\nLluís Saló-Salga
 do is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and a postdoctoral assoc
 iate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge\, MA. He ob
 tained his PhD from MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering in 2024\, advi
 sed by Ruben Juanes\, and holdsa BS in Geology from University of Barcelon
 a and a MS in Geotechnical Engineering from UPC-BarcelonaTech. His PhD the
 sis focused on numerical modeling of geologic CO2storage in faulted settin
 gs. As a postdoc\, he leads the coupled flow-geomechanics modeling in an N
 SF-funded project on the impact of a century of reservoir operations on ea
 rthquake occurrence in the Los Angeles Basin. His research focuses on eluc
 idating the interplay between geologic faults\, fluids\, and seismicity to
  enablesustainable development of engineered geosystems for the energy tra
 nsition.\n\nReferences/Related Papers\n\nhttps://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/
