Geophysical Reservoir Characterization and Monitoring of CO2 Sequestration

Silixa presenting at SEG’s Geophysical Reservoir Characterization and Monitoring of CO2 Sequestration in Carbohydrate Reservoirs workshop on 21–23 May 2024

SEG’s Geophysical Reservoir Characterization and Monitoring of CO2 Sequestration in Carbohydrate Reservoirs workshop is designed to offer a state-of-the-art understanding of the most recent developments in geophysical techniques for the effective characterization and monitoring of CO2 sequestration within carbonate formations. It will explore the latest innovations aimed at addressing the unique challenges that may arise in geophysical monitoring during carbon capture within carbonate reservoirs. Participants will have the chance to engage with the most up-to-date research findings, case studies, and projects related to geophysical reservoir characterization and CO2 sequestration monitoring in carbonate formations.

Anna Stork, Silixa’s Senior Geophysicist, will be presenting on CO2 Sequestration Reservoir Characterization and Monitoring with Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS).

Distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) based survey methods focus on near surface and subsurface monitoring. The monitoring technology has a proven track record with numerous deployments in both onshore and offshore environments, with the rate of adoption recently accelerating.

The development of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and enhanced geothermal system (EGS) sectors and their requirements for long-term and cost-effective monitoring has coincided with the development of reliable and repeatable seismic measurements with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) that can be made and interpreted alongside Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS).  Adoption and testing of DFOS monitoring at pilot and demonstration CCUS and EGS projects have helped build the efficiency and reliability of the equipment and interrogator technology, and thus a powerful multi-parameter monitoring tool has been developed.

Silixa’s distributed fiber optic sensing-based platform provides scalable monitoring capabilities while delivering a flexible long-term solution allowing for the development of regulatory compliance requirements over the various stages of a CCUS project, from site characterization to post-closure.
