Short Course 5
Geophysical Monitoring Of Co2 Storage
The course explores techniques for monitoring subsurface CO2 injection, covering rock physics, time-lapse seismic methods, gravity, and electromagnetic techniques. It addresses saturation and pressure effects, early leakage detection, and mapping overburden geology to identify potential weak zones. Discussions include field examples, well integrity issues, and using gas leakage as a proxy for CO2 leakage studies. Laboratory experiments of CO2 flooding, including acoustic measurements, are also featured.
