While-drilling and Post-drilling Analysis of Drill-bit Seismic Signals of a Geothermal-well Survey
Authors F. Poletto and B. Farina and P. CoruboloWe present the results of a seismic-while-drilling (SWD) survey performed using the working drill-bit as a seismic source to support drilling from a geophysical point of view in a well drilled for geothermal purposes. In this application we perform revers

Simulation of Fluid-mineral Kinetic Reactions during CO2 Storage Using ChemApp and SUPCRT92 Coupled to OpenGeoSys
Authors D. Li and C. Beyer and S. BauerAfter CO2 is injected into a deep underground saline formation, the initial geochemical equilibrium state is changed, and a series of geochemical reactions between CO2, the pore fluid and the minerals present is initiated. Most of these geochemical reacti

Improving Ugs Productivity with Horizontal Wells
By J. CaceresIn May 2011 after 22 months of drilling campaign, Enagas finished the development phase of Yela Underground Gas Storage (UGS). The most critical and changeling aspect of the project was the complexity of the wells conditioned by the presence of a double a

Effects of Impurities on Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide
Authors L. Basava-Reddi and N. Wildgust and D. RyanThe purity and content of CO2 streams vary with different fuel types and industrial processes. A requirement on purity of the effluent CO2 stream may greatly increase the cost of capture, and may eliminate from choice certain cost-effective capture proces

The Impact of Geomechanics on Predicted Seismic Attributes for CO2 Injection and Storage
Authors T. Lynch and Q.J. Fisher and P. LorincziSeismic methods have been used as a tool to monitor the flow and storage of injected CO2 for various carbon capture and storage (CCS) pilot studies. Surface seismic and vertical seismic profile (VSP) time-lapse surveys have demonstrated the capability of

A Petrophysical Workflow to Obtain all Matrix Parameters of a Geothermal Carbonate Reservoir
Authors J. Amtmann and C.G. EichkitzTo get a realistic property model of a carbonate geothermal reservoir, the matrix parameters of the reservoir need to be determined. The only way to get realistic matrix parameters of the reservoir is with well information. This well information is log da

Geothermal Exploration by 3D Seismic in Germany - Is There a Potential for Cost Reduction?
Authors H. Buness and H. von HartmannSeismic reconnaissance is required for deep hydro-geothermal reservoirs in Germany. To achieve cost reduction sparse acquisition of 3D seismic datasets has been proposed. To examine this approach, we simulated a sparse acquisition by reducing the data den
