260: Small Faults, Big Impact - Improving CCUS with Seismic Attributes
“The goal is to keep injected CO₂ safely in place - that’s why understanding fault networks is so critical.”
In this episode, host Andrew Geary welcomes David Lubo-Robles, lead author of The Leading Edge paper on detecting small-offset faults for carbon capture and storage (CCUS). David explains how advanced seismic attributes, without relying on machine learning, can help geoscientists better map faults that influence the movement of CO₂ underground. His insights demonstrate the importance of applied geophysics in enabling safer and smarter reservoir management in the era of climate solutions.
