Underground Storage of CO2
ASC provides the following services to the energy industry focused on monitoring the effectiveness of underground gas storage operations:
- Site characterisation of existing active fractures within potential storage reservoirs
- Design and optimisation of seismic monitoring arrays.
- Real-time processing of microseismic data to provide feed-back of information to engineers on potential damage to reservoir bounds and cap rock that may affect its confining properties or can map injection paths in a treatment field. Assessment of reservoir integrity and containment effectiveness during injection
- Post-analysis of reservoir containment effectiveness.
- Delineation of potential breakthrough and communication with active fault structures.
- Fracture mapping to provide information on feasibility of target volumes for new development wells.
- Correlation with predictive numerical models for feedback on future site development
- In-depth understanding of fracture mechanisms through the integration of acquired data and “Synthetic Rock Mass” models built with Itasca’s Particle Fluid Code (PFC) and site-scale degradation models.
- Acquisition system-independent seismic processing software for automatic, real-time processing of induced seismicity.
- Fully-featured microseismic training courses focussed on the principles behind the technology, processing algorithms and hands-on experience of using processing software
