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.
