Advanced Resources presents the results of the seismic survey performed at the SECARB Citronelle project in Alabama. The CO2 monitoring effort for the Anthropogenic Test includes two wellbore seismic methods, specifically time-lapse crosswell 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 crosswell source. Baseline surveys were conducted in 2012 prior to the onset of CO2 injection operations. Reports document the results from the baseline vertical seismic profile (VSP) and crosswell seismic surveys performed by SR2020 and Schlumberger Carbon Services, respectively.
