WP3: Detection and characterization of fractures using seismic waves in the context of CO2 sequestration processes

Lead: Santiago Solazzi, University of Lausanne, Switzerland

Drawing from theoretical and numerical studies as well as experimental results, we will develop new strategies to detect and characterize partially-saturated fractures using seismic waves. Moreover, we will explore the reflectivity of partially saturated fractured media using fluid distributions resulting from two-phase flow experiments in a Hele-Shaw cell.
