Elastic response of CO2 saturated sandstones
 |
Purpose
To develop a rigorous basis for seismic monitoring of CO2 reservoirs via laboratory simulation.
|
Summary
This work aims to test various sandstones including synthetic and reservoir materials ultrasonically under controlled pressures conditions with CO2 saturation. The ultrasonic response will aid in the interpretation of seismic data sets obtained over CO2 injection sites.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change considers that over 1,000 years at a carefully chosen geosequestration site, less than 1 per cent of the stored carbon dioxide will leak only as far as the next strata of rock, still deep underground, rather than to the land surface or atmosphere.
