	abstract = {We introduce a digital-twin{\textendash}driven framework for real-time injectivity control that maximizes injected CO2 while enforcing reservoir safety. The forward model is a multiphase flow simulator evolving reservoir states under injectivity controls q; time-lapse seismic acts as the observation operator to reduce uncertainty of the the state (reservoir{\textquoteright}s saturation/pressure). Risk is handled via two complementary metrics: the Probability of Failure (POF) for exceedance likelihood and the less conservative CVaR (superquantile) for tail severity. For the optimization, we employ smooth surrogates{\textemdash}a logistic exceedance rate for POF and the Rockafellar{\textendash}Uryasev formulation for CVaR{\textemdash}enabling gradient-based control with constraints. Within a finite-horizon Model Predictive Control (MPC) loop, we optimize a trajectory per posterior sample and aggregate the ensemble of optimal rates into an empirical (KDE-kernel) Cumulative Density Function (CDF) with binomial confidence bands; the final controlled injectivity q is chosen as the largest rate whose upper confidence bound satisfies the target risk level. Case studies demonstrate that POF-constrained optimization is more conservative than CVaR-based optimization, In addition, sensitivity of the policy to the CVaR tail level, α, is reduced compared to POF{\textquoteright}s parameter sensitivity, allowing for adaptive, uncertainty-aware control that balances injectivity and fracture risk. The proposed framework also unifies time-lapse seismic-informed inference, risk metrics, and MPC into a practical approach for safe high-throughput underground energy storage.},
