AB  - © 2016 Taylor  &  Francis Group, London. A coupled flow-geomechanical modelling study has been carried out in an effort to match the flowing bottomhole pressures and InSAR surface uplift time series at the three injection wells over the seven years CO 2 injection period at In Salah. The surface deformation data covers the entire period of monitoring from July 2003 to January 2012. It is believed that a structural feature controls the dynamic pressure and geomechanical behaviour at both injection wells KB-502 and KB-503, and that CO 2 injection has caused tensile opening of pre-existing fractures/faults in the area. This insight was incorporated by introducing a fracture/fault zone with a dynamic transmissibility into the coupled flow-geomechanical model. Using forward coupled flowgeomechancial modelling, both the injection pressure behaviour and the geomechanical response at the ground surface have been largely reproduced. Research findings helped assess the overall performance of the site and potential for the migration of CO 2 within the storage complex.
