ABSTRACT
High-resolution, time-lapse (4-D), multicomponent (9-C) seismic data acquired by the Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) of the Colorado School of Mines were used to monitor a miscible
CO2
flood in a thin (30m) carbonate reservoir at a depth of 1450m in Weyburn field, Saskatchewan. Multicomponent time-lapse seismic images illustrate the influence of fracture zones on the flood. These fracture zones are very important to characterize and monitor in order to manage the flood successfully and to achieve the desired improved recovery efficiency.
