CO2-injeksjon

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The principal idea of Geomec's planned innovation is to develop a software tool based on an advanced geomechanical framework for real-time surveillance and optimization of CO2 injection operations. The tool will cover all types of storage options including deep saline aquifers, abandoned and depleted fields and enhanced oil recovery with permanent storage of CO2, and will provide continuous information about the reservoir conditions during injection operations. Understanding the immediate response of the geological formations during injection will enable the operators to tailor, review and optimize injection operations and thus increase the safe permanent CO2 storage capacity of the reservoirs. Output from the real-time surveillance will also enable operators to conduct targeted seismic campaigns using a limited set of ocean bottom nodes in areas where leakage risk is identified. This will reduce cost related to leakage prevention and provide a system for early warning of anomalies.
