Evaluating $$\hbox {CO}_2$$ CO 2 breakthrough in a shaly a caprock material: a multi-scale experimental approach

Abstract The potential of underground $$\hbox {CO}_2$$ CO 2 storage relies on the sealing efficiency of an overlaying caprock that acts as a geological barrier. Shales are considered as potential caprock formations thanks to their favourable hydro-mechanical properties. In this work the sealing capa...
