Integration of Time-Lapse Seismic Data into a Flow Model Study of CO2 Injection into the Weyburn Field Available to Purchase

The Reservoir Characterization Project at the Colorado School of Mines has conducted a time-lapse seismic survey in a section of the Weyburn Field, Saskatchewan, Canada. The section is being subjected to a CO₂ injection process that began in October 2000. The seismic monitoring process is of interest for both enhanced oil recovery and geologic carbon sequestration. This paper describes a study that integrated both static and dynamic data in a history matched (calibrated) model of CO₂ injection performance. An objective function was used to quantify study results.
