Seismic reflection/refraction imaging across the Little Grand Wash fault, east-central Utah. This fault actively leaks CO2, and the total fluid pressure has locally reduced the fault’s minimum horizontal effective stress, producing both low- and high-permeability fault segments that either block or promote fluid migration.
