CSEM Monitoring of a CO2 Reservoir Imaged by MT

Abstract

SUMMARYDuring the last years, different studies based on numerical simulations have shown the potential of CSEM for CO2 monitoring. In this study, we carried out a set of simulations for CSEM monitoring of CO2 realistic deep saline reservoir in a 3D dome anticline structure. We perform numerical simulations in different scenarios (emission frequencies and surface-to-borehole configurations) in order to investigate the effect on the resolution when the simulations are done considering a baseline geoelectric model resulting from the inversion of MT synthetic data.
