Carbon Capture, Utilization & Sequestration

Accurately estimating storage capacity

We have decades of experience delivering reservoir studies and certification and have applied this to CO₂ storage projects around the world.
We can use our global GeoVerse geological database in addition to available proprietary well data to review and refine stratigraphy and depositional models to ground-truth reservoir modeling studies. Our unique reservoir characterization workflows, which feature proprietary technologies, and our HPC resources allow us to create highly-detailed reservoir models to accurately assess storage capacity uncertainty.

Optimizing CO₂ injection

To understand how CO₂ will move through the reservoir, our Geoscience Laboratories provide expert geological sample analysis to determine key parameters such as permeability, pore system stability, wettability for multi-phase fluids and geochemical reactivity. 
Optimizing injection well location and injection rates is a key consideration. Our ensemble-based approach to reservoir modeling and flow simulation using high-resolution reservoir models provide the most accurate assessment of CO₂ plume evolution and migration for multiple injection scenarios. These can be history-matched to historic, or future, injection data to injection well drilling plans and injection rates.
 

Subsurface integrity for safe long-term storage

Subsurface integrity is essential for safe and responsible storage management. Our geomechanical modeling expertise and proprietary GEOSIM® coupled reservoir simulator provides accurate assessments of CO₂ storage site containment risks.
Building on the dynamic reservoir modeling results, 3D geomechanical modeling provides insight on potential injection-induced effects like reservoir fracture development, fault reactivation, cap rock failure and surface heave. Our advanced simulations can incorporate additional important parameters such as injection fluid temperature, giving you a more accurate assessment of potential containment risks.
