Abstract
Summary
For conformance monitoring (and, maybe, large leakage detection) in large-scale CO2 projects, it may be beneficial to use head waves refracted beneath the reservoir. We explore the feasibility of this approach through seismic modelling for a cartoon model of CarbonNet Pelican site. We also simulate a similar monitoring approach for a forthcoming shallow fault injection at the CO2CRC’s Otway site in the Australian State of Victoria. This experiment can be viewed as a scaled model for larger injections. Based on these modelling results, we provide a short overview of the further field experiments that can be used to validate the proposed approach.
