Finite-Elemente Simulations<br />
A finite element model was derived from the geological model <strong>and</strong> based on the<br />
parameters measured in the lab. Formation inclinations were variated<br />
Results show, that the deformation rate reaches its maximum in vertical direction near the<br />
borehole about one year of operation <strong>and</strong> falls decades below the critical rates in the cap<br />
rock.<br />
This means that the cap rock integrity is proven, the system safey rises after the end of<br />
CO 2 injection. Self-healing of open fractures <strong>and</strong> auto-inhibition effects may be expected.<br />
