Storage or disposal of fluids such as carbon dioxide, wastewater, or hydrogen in the subsurface can result in chemical disequilibrium between the resident brine and the formation. In this presentation I explore how chemical change can enhance or inhibit fracture growth, and how such processes can affect shale caprock integrity of storage reservoirs.
