Assessing Uncertainty and Repeatability in Time-Lapse VSP Monitoring of CO2 Injection in a Brine Aquifer, Frio Formation, Texas (A Case Study)

Technical Report Nazari, Siamak ; Daley, Thomas M.

This study was done to assess the repeatability and uncertainty of time-lapse VSP response to CO₂ injection in the Frio formation near Houston Texas. A work flow was built to assess the effect of time-lapse injected CO₂ into two Frio brine reservoir intervals, the ‘C’ sand (Frio1) and the ‘Blue sand’ (Frio2). The time-lapse seismic amplitude variations with sensor depth for both reservoirs Frio1 and Frio2 were computed by subtracting the seismic response of the base survey from each of the two monitor seismic surveys. Source site 1 has been considered as one of the best sites for evaluating themore »« less
Frio CO2 storage pilot: Time-lapse vertical seismic profile (VSP)

Dataset Daley, Thomas M.

The files in this archive are vertical seismic profiles (VSP) recorded as part of the Frio CO2 storage test (Hovorka, et al, 2006). There are three separate surveys, 2004 pre-injection, 2004 post-injection and 2009 post-injection. The original filed notes for each survey are included. These notes have both VSP and Crosswell acquisition notes. The Crosswell data is available separately.
Case History: Using time-lapse vertical seismic profiling data to constrain velocity-saturation relations: the Frio brine pilot CO₂ injection: Time-lapse VSP to constrain VSRs

Journal Article Al Hosni, Mohammed ; Caspari, Eva ; Pevzner, Roman ; ... - Geophysical Prospecting

CO₂ sequestration projects benefit from quantitative assessment of saturation distribution and plume extent for field development and leakage prevention. In this work, we carry out quantitative analysis of time-lapse seismic by using rock physics and seismic modelling tools. We investigate the suitability of Gassmann's equation for a CO₂ sequestration project with 1600 tons of CO₂ injected into high-porosity, brine-saturated sandstone. We analyze the observed time delays and amplitude changes in a time-lapse vertical seismic profile dataset. Both reflected and transmitted waves are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. To interpret the changes obtained from the vertical seismic profile, we perform a 2.5Dmore »« less

Time-lapse crosswell seismic and VSP monitoring of injected CO2 ina brine aquifer

Journal Article Daley, Thomas M ; Myer, Larry R ; Peterson, J E ; ... - Environmental Geology

Seismic surveys successfully imaged a small scale C02injection (1,600 tons) conducted in a brine aquifer of the Frio Formationnear Houston, Texas. These time-lapse bore-hole seismic surveys,crosswell and vertical seismic profile (VSP), were acquired to monitorthe C02 distribution using two boreholes (the new injection well and apre-existing well used for monitoring) which are 30 m apart at a depth of1500 m. The crosswell survey provided a high-resolution image of the C02distribution between the wells via tomographic imaging of the P-wavevelocity decrease (up to 500 mls). The simultaneously acquired S-wavetomography showed little change in S-wave velocity, as expected for fluidsubstitution. A rockmore »« less
Frio CO2 storage pilot: Time-lapse crosswell seismic, P- and S-wave

Dataset Daley, Thomas M.

The files associated with this data archive are time-lapse crosswell seismic, recorded using a source that generated both P- and S-waves, allowing both P and S tomography. Previously published results demonstrated imaging of injected CO2 using this data. Descriptive
