FLUIDS project

Summary

Detection and tracking of crustal fluid by multi-parametric methodologies and technologies (FLUIDS)
Crustal fluids permeate and diffuse as originated by internal or external natural sources or by industrial activities for modern energy exploitation and production.The project aim is to build up and test the next generation of crustal fluid monitoring systems aimed at their timely detection and space-time tracking. We will develop an integrated, multi-parametric and multi-disciplinary approach for mapping and tracking fluid movements in a variety of underground geological environments. New methodologies and technologies will be implemented to reconstruct the 4D (space-time) variations of rock properties in the fluid-filled porous medium and to detect and characterize the induced micro-seismicity, electric crustal properties changes, earth surface ground deformation and geochemical signatures of fluid presence and diffusion.The new and conventional methodologies and technologies will be applied, validated and performance-assessed in specific project test-areas in Southern Italy.The project is expected to have a high S&T and socio-economic impact through the development and use of innovative approaches for fluid detection and space-time tracking, providing the guidelines andtechnical support for planning and decision making for natural and anthropogenic hazard mitigation.
