The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership’s (SECARB’s) Anthropogenic Test is a demonstration of the deployment of CO2 capture, transport, geologic storage and monitoring technologies. This project is one of the first and the largest fully integrated commercial prototype coal-fired carbon capture and storage projects in the USA. Drilled in January 2011, a deep characterization well provided geologic data confirming that the test site represented an attractive location for safe, long-term storage of CO2. Two Class V Experimental Injection Well underground injection control (UIC) permits were issued in November 2011 and subsequently the project’s injection wells were installed. A robust monitoring, verification and accounting (MVA) plan has been developed to monitor and track the CO2 plume and the associated pressure field. The CO2 MVA effort for the Anthropogenic Test CO2 (Test) injection demonstration includes two wellbore seismic methods, specifically time-lapse Croswell seismic and vertical seismic profiles (VSP). Due to the unique challenges presented by this Test (injection depth of 9,500+ ft. into thin, stacked reservoir sands and limited injection volumes) surface seismic was eliminated as a Monitoring, Verification, and Accounting (MVA) tool. However, the newly drilled project wells provided ample casing diameters (prior to running tubing) to accommodate wellbore seismic receivers (wireline and tubing deployed) and a Croswell source.
