Carbon storage has become a critical component of the energy industry and understanding geomechanical effects is essential for mitigating risk. This course gives an overview of geomechanics modelling with a particular focus on ccs. Basic geomechanics concepts will be reviewed as well as how to implement them using CMG software. Practical CCS examples will investigated including using geomechanics to determine cap rock integrity and potential fault reactivation
