Abstract

Summary

To “substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to limit the global temperature increase in this century to 2 degrees Celsius while pursuing efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5 degrees” as stated in the Paris Agreement ( ), most greenhouse gas control scenario include massive CO2 geological storage also called CCS. According to the IEA, from over 40 Mtpa CO2 in 2021, CCS yearly capacity needs to increase to 1.6 Gtpa CO2 in 2030 ( ). To make it happen, subsurface industry will have to overcome (amongst other) the following two critical challenges: social acceptance and Monitoring, Measurement and Verification (MMV) as technically and economically viable for long term monitoring (50–100 years) ( ).

In this abstract, pros & cons of frequent full field 4D seismic monitoring strategy are presented, and a supplement/alternative approach is introduced ( ) that capitalize on the key features of CCS to calibrate flow models where and when needed with an agile focused seismic measurement.
