Abstract

Summary

When injecting CO2 in a reservoir interval, one of the main risk to monitor is the possibility of a leak into an upper reservoir interval through a fault or a legacy well. This paper presents a 1D sensitivity study on the key parameters accounting for the leak detectability using time-lapse seismic: the ambient noise and the repeatability of the acquisition device used. Dealing with thin layers of CO2 also raises new concerns on the reliability of the amplitude, thickness and position of the detected anomaly because of the tuning phenomena. The tuning thickness is a function of the frequency of the wavelength used in the modelling process as it is equal to a fourth of the dominant frequency.
