An Evaluation of Rock Integrity and Fault Reactivation in the Cap Rock and Reservoir Rock Due to Pressure Variations
Cap rocks are dams which can prevent the upward movement of hydrocarbons. They have disparities and weaknesses including discontinuities, crushed areas, and faults. Gas injection is an effective mechanism for oil recovery and pore pressure. With increasing pore pressure, normal stress is reduced, and the integrity of impermeable boundaries (cap rock, fault, etc.) becomes instable. A successful ...
متن کاملCO2 modeling in a deep saline aquifer: a predictive uncertainty analysis using design of experiment.
When field data are limited, stratigraphic models are used instead of detailed, fully heterogeneous models (FHM) to represent deep saline aquifers in numerical simulations of CO2 storage. This study evaluates parameter sensitivity and prediction uncertainty of three stratigraphic models of decreasing complexity (i.e., facies, layered, formation) against that of a FHM. For select simulation outc...
متن کاملStress field changes and faulting regimes analysis for determining fault reactivation possibility in cap rock and reservoir due to production & pressurized in Aghajari Oil Field - Iran̓s South West
Production and injection of fluid may cause hydraulic fracture, shear fracture at crack levels, or re-activation of faults and existing discontinuities by reducing effective stress by changing the pore pressure and corresponding changes in the stress field. Therefore, the deformation of the earth, seismic occurred, the reactivation of discontinuities and the impermeability capacity of the rocks...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of CO2 injection into deep saline aquifers
In the last two centuries, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) have augmented by about 35% as a result of increased anthropogenic emissions. To reduce these emissions, geologic Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) has been advanced as an emerging technology. Current estimations report that 60% are of the total storage capacity under the subsurface is included in deep saline for...
متن کاملInfluence of Geological Parameters on Co2 Storage Prediction in Deep Saline Aquifer at Industrial Scale
Here we examine the consequences of uncertainty with respect to geological parameters, using large-scale 2D models. We also investigate ways to reduce prediction uncertainty, either by showing how a parameter’s influence is negligible for a given project design, or by showing for which parameters additional data will significantly increase the quality of prediction. TOUGH2/ECO2N is used to simu...
