Underground gas storage is one of the solutions required for reducing CO2 emissions and ensure the transition to a renewable power supply. The Hontomín pilot-plant in N-Spain is a well-studied CO2 facility located in the Burgalesa Platform, a fold belt in the Southern Basque-Cantabrian Basin. Previous works agree that crustal extension and evaporit...
This article presents a morpho-structural map at 1:50,000 scale of the confluence area between three regional units: (1) the Burgalesa Platform (Mesozoic; Cantabrian Mountains), (2) the Duero Basin and (3) the Ebro Basin (Cenozoic foreland basins). The map covers an area of 527 km2 in north Iberia. Additionally, structural lineaments such as joints...
Underground storage is proposed to permanently store CO2, H2 and other gasses in a supercritical state into deep rock formations, with adequate porosity and permeability values. Suitable sites are deep saline formations, coal seams, depleted oil and gas fields, and basalt formations (e.g. Newell and Ilgen, 2019). Constraining the geometry of these...

The long-term managing from the geological hazard point of view of the Hontomín onshore pilot-plant for CO 2 storage, located in Spain and recognized as the first and only key-test facility in Europe, is one of the main objectives stated in the ENOS European project. This project is led and funded by the European Network of Excellence on the Geolog...
One of the concerns of underground CO 2 onshore storage is the triggering of induced seismicity and fault re-activation by the pore pressure increasing. Hence, a comprehensive analysis of the tectonic parameters involved in the storage rock formation is mandatory for safety management operations. Unquestionably, active faults and seal faults depict...
Structural fieldwork data of faults: outcrop code, name, fault number, dip, dip sense, rake, notes.
Slickensides measurement on fault planes by using a geological compass mainly in carbonates pathologies, 20 km away from the Hontomin pilot plant facility.
Facies and geochemical analysis applied to marsh deposits are useful proxies for the reconstruction of aridity for the last millennia. The comparison of facies and geochemical records among cores from the Almenara and Benicasim marshes allows to identify changes in water level (Si/Al, Al, Ca) and salinity of the feeding waters (Mg/Al, Na/Al, S/Al)....
Abstract. One of the concerns of underground CO<sub>2</sub> onshore storage is the triggering of Induced Seismicity and fault reactivation. Hence, a comprehensive analysis of the tectonic parameters involved in the storage rock formation is mandatory for safety management operations.

m, and showing “in situ”...
Contractional deformation in the transition between the Iberian and Catalan Coastal Ranges (Linking Zone) generated both thin-skinned structures detached in low-strength Triassic units, and basement involved structures. To evaluate their extent and relative contribution to the overall structure, we carried out a study combining structural geology a...
Arid periods during the last 4000 years in the coastal wetlands of Almenara and Benicasim (Valencian Community): The geochemical study of two coastal freshwater wetlands was carried out from three percussion well.

The cartography of seismogenic active faults in adjacent areas of underground gas storage helps in the management for Induced Seismicity related to deep fluid movement and injection/extraction manoeuvres. In this sense, the determination of the Active Stress field into the area allows the understanding of the 3D fracture patterns and their role in...
La planta piloto de inyección de CO2 de Hontomín (Burgos) es la única planta de inyección en tierra en Europa.

The sedimentary record of the Guadiana River, in the surroundings of Las Tablas de Daimiel wetland (central Spain), for the last 25000 years can be split in two main sequences. The lower one, ca. 25ka-9ka cal BP, is built up by aggradative sequences, composed by fine-grained siliciclastics and abundant fragments of carbonate, bounded by erosive sur...
Integration of geochemical, stratigraphic, sedimentological and micropalaeontological techniques and 14C dating allows us to characterize the processes and evolution of the Almenara marsh (Castellón, Spain) during the Holocene, and to reconstruct the relative sea level fluctuations for the Western Mediterranean. The analysis of 4 cores has allowed...
This paper shows the mineralogy of Holocene deposits of the Almenara Marsh, on the Castellón-Valencia

The virtually unfolded sedimentary cover of the Cordilleras Central and Oriental in the eastern Dominican Republic (eastern Hispaniola, tropical North Atlantic) largely consists of Pliocene to Early Pleistocene mixed siliciclastics and carbonates. These deposits have been grouped into two laterally interfingering mapping units, the Yanigua and Los...
This paper focuses on the geometry of the Utrillas (Albian) basal unconformity in the south of Cantabria. It is a sharp angular unconformity, accounting for up to 1300 m of eroded sediments. In map view the unconformity erodes older sedimentary rocks westwards, however, its structural features show a prominent NE-SW to N-S trend, where the substrat...
