Project Description

 

 

Project Description:



The global project objectives are: 1) a Phase I study to characterize the reservoir using advanced evaluations methods including petrophysical; geophysical; geological; reservoir engineering; simulation;  and surveillance technologies; such that an assessment of the CO2 flood potential can be performed. and 2) a Phase II study to demonstrate the benefits of using advanced seismic acquisition; processing; interpretation methods; and horizontal wells for monitoring CO2 flood fronts.  In Phase I; we will demonstrate theoretically through seismic modeling of actual 3-D data that advanced 3-D interpretation can be used to monitor CO2 flood fronts.  Other advanced technologies will also be illustrated in Phase I.  Phase II will illustrate the field demonstration of using  4-D seismic to monitor the flood fronts during an actual CO2 pilot; in addition to horizontal wells.  Our industry partner Core Energy LLC will provide substantial existing data from Niagaran reef fields in Michigan including 3-D seismic data on an offset field to our primary study area the Charleton 30/31 Field; core and log data; fluid property information; and laboratory miscibility data.  The existing 3-D data from the offset field will be used to design the 3-D seismic shoot for the study field.
