ASC provides the following services to the energy industry focused on monitoring the effectiveness of underground gas storage operations.
A collaborative project for the integration of hardware and software tools for effective MS monitoring of safe geological storage of CO2.
The project examined the signature of a CO2 plume surveyed
by active seismic shots and the use of surface and noise sources for monitoring changes in the position of the CO2 post injection.
The interpretation of the changes observed from active
surveys were completed through the construction of forward
numerical models that realistically reproduced the effect of
changes in pore pressure, fracture development and CO2
content on the transmission of acoustic waves. Click on the link to download a summary of the observations.
