Surface uplift has been detected over all three of the In Salah CO2 injection wells with corresponding subsidence also observed over the gas production area. In particular, it has been noted that the surface uplift over KB-502 displays two distinctive lobes aligned along the direction of the maximum principal stress in the region, originating from the heel and the toe of the horizontal wellbore respectively. As part of the work programme within the EU funded CO2ReMoVe project, Imperial College has carried out short-term reservoir simulations of CO2 injection into the aquifer portion of the C10.2 sandstone formation, initially focusing on history match of injection well pressure at KB-502 and CO2 breakthrough at the nearby KB-5 observation well (now fully decommissioned) along the heel-side lobe. In view of the satellite monitoring data of the surface deformation at the Krechba gas field and published findings of the inversion modelling work, the reservoir model is further improved to account for the pressure distribution inferred from the surface uplift data, as well as the reservoir-based field data. Specifically, the permeability pattern inverted from the surface uplift data has been used to further constrain the reservoir model to improve prediction of the CO2 plume migration around KB-502, so that it is consistent with the surface monitoring data, as well as reservoir-based observations (injection pressures and CO2 breakthrough at KB-5).

Assessment of fracture connectivity and potential for CO2 migration through the reservoir and lower caprock at the In Salah storage site
Smith, James; Durucan, Sevket; Korre, Anna; Shi, Ji-Quan; Sınayuç, Çağlar (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
Fractures are thought to strongly affect the flow of CO2 at the In Salah storage site. In the work presented here, fracture networks at In Salah are characterised and modelled to assess percolation. Available fracture data is considered in the context of general characteristics of other fracture networks and this data is then used to model potential realisations of fracture networks within the In Salah reservoir and lower caprock. Horizontal percolation of fracture networks is highly dependent on fracture l...
Implementation of horizontal well CBM/ECBM technology and the assessment of effective CO2 storage capacity in a Scottish coalfield
Sınayuç, Çağlar; Imrie, Claire E.; Syed, S. Amer; Korre, Anna; Durucan, Sevket (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
In this study the theoretical and effective methane recovery and CO2 storage potential of four coal seams within a well characterised section of a CBM license in Scotland are estimated, considering different horizontal well patterns, the effect of permeability heterogeneity and the composition of the injected fluid. The study concerns the Airth area of the Clackmannan coalfield in the Scottish Midland Valley. The effort on building the static earth model and the history match results of the pre-existing ver...
Multi-media reservoirs depleted by horizontal wells: analysis of pressure behaviours and rate transient accompanied by developing analytical models for flow regimes
Al-Rbeawi, Salam (Inderscience Publishers, 2020-01-01)
This paper focuses on analysing pressure behaviours and rate transient of multi-porous media formations such as carbonate reservoirs depleted by horizontal wells. Several analytical models (pressure transient and rate transient) have been developed using the well-known dual-porosity models for naturally fractured formations and modified for triple-media formations considering the existence of hydraulic fractures. The solutions of these models demonstrate different flow regimes corresponding to different pro...

The large amount of CO2 that can be mitigated by geologic storage had gained interest during the last 15 years. Acceptance of CCS under CDM is still under discussion(IEA, 2008) however there are several pilot or field scale projects and monitoring surveys that are underway which will make the technology better known and resolve the risks involved. This study involves assessment of possible geologic sites for CO2 storage and calculation of CO2 emissions from thermal power plants with capacities > 500 MWe, ce...
Assessment of carbon dioxide plume behaviour within the storage reservoir and the lower caprock around the KB-502 injection well at In Salah
Shi, Ji-Quan; Sınayuç, Çağlar; Durucan, Sevket; Korre, Anna (2012-03-01)
Surface uplift has been detected over all three of the In Salah CO2 injection wells with corresponding subsidence also observed over the gas production area. The distinctive two-lobed uplift pattern over KB-502 has attracted much research interest, as it suggests the tensile opening of a structural discontinuity at depth. The latest reservoir simulation effort at Imperial College involved the implementation of a non-sealing fault (zone) with dynamic transmissibility in the revised reservoir/overburden model...
