Series: Navigating Carbon Dioxide Plume Flow in the Subsurface, A Reservoir Engineer’s Perspective.
Knowledge gathered from decades of hydrocarbon exploration is vital to help us with our efforts in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). However, despite many parallels, there is a significant difference between natural migration of hydrocarbons and the flow of injected CO₂ underground. Robust modelling and simulation of CO₂ plumes is therefore required to fully understand fluid movements to ensure the safe and efficient storage of CO₂. This article looks at these similarities and differences and what it all means for the advancement of CCS going forward.

Rock Physics for CCS Workflows: Uses and Pitfalls
In her third and final article on rock physics for CCS, Eleanor Oldham discusses the pitfalls of seismic trace modelling for CCS workflows. The article focuses on how fluids are parametrised and how fluid substitution for CO₂ differs from hydrocarbons. Continue reading to learn more.
Rock Physics for CCS Workflows: Uses and Pitfalls
Following on from last week's blog, Eleanor Oldham continues to discuss the uses of Rock Physics for CCS with her latest article on 4D Seismic and Inversion. Learn about how 4D seismic can be used to visualise the movement of a CO₂ plume through time, how rock physics workflows can be utilised to make sure 4D surveys will be cost effective, and how seismic inversion provides a useful method of relating seismic amplitudes to CO₂ saturations and/or pressure increase.
