Monitoring subsurface changes by tracking direct-wave amplitudes and traveltimes in continuous distributed acoustic sensor VSP data

Roman Pevzner et al.

Summary: Using distributed acoustic sensors and seismic sources, it is possible to precisely monitor variations in formation stiffness and density. Experimental results from a carbon capture and storage project show significant increase in strain amplitudes and traveltime shifts within the CO2 injection interval, consistent with numerical simulations and theoretical predictions. These results provide independent estimates of CO2 plume thickness and associated P-wave velocity reduction.

A Small CO2 Leakage May Induce Seismicity on a Sub-Seismic Fault in a Good-Porosity Clastic Saline Aquifer

Stanislav Glubokovskikh et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the microseismicity induced by a small CO2 injection experiment conducted in the CO2CRC Otway Project in Victoria, Australia. The observations suggest that the flow of CO2 through a fault can reactivate the fault, leading to seismic activity in the overburden. These findings highlight the importance of studying small faults in de-risking workflows for commercial-scale storage projects.

Fracture Imaging Using DAS-Recorded Microseismic Events

Frantisek Stanek et al.

Summary: Hydraulic fracturing is crucial for unconventional reservoir production, and mapping induced seismicity plays a key role in understanding reservoir response and optimizing operations. This study focuses on using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) to capture high-resolution microseismic data and develop a new methodology for imaging induced fractures. The proposed algorithm allows real-time mapping and tracking of fractures, leading to a better understanding of reservoir behavior.

Advanced time-lapse processing of continuous DAS VSP data for plume evolution monitoring: Stage 3 of the CO2CRC Otway project case study

Roman Isaenkov et al.

Summary: Active time-lapse seismic monitoring technology is crucial for carbon storage projects as it allows for tracking CO2 plume changes in both space and time. Permanent seismic reservoir monitoring (PRM) using permanent sources and receivers is an attractive implementation, offering near-real-time monitoring over several decades. By processing multiple vintages together, rather than separately, the signal-to-noise ratio and repeatability can be improved. This study investigates the advantages of this approach using a PRM dataset from the Otway International Test Centre in Australia.

Seismic monitoring of CO2 geosequestration using multi-well 4D DAS VSP: Stage 3 of the CO2CRC Otway project

Alexey Yurikov et al.

Summary: A key aspect of CO2 geosequestration projects is ensuring CO2 containment and conformance in the subsurface through a comprehensive, risk-based Measurement, Monitoring and Verification plan. The use of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to standard surface seismic monitoring, providing a robust and non-intrusive network of seismic receivers. The implementation of DAS technology in CO2CRC Otway project demonstrated its potential for monitoring gas injection into gas-saturated reservoirs through 4D vertical seismic profiling.

Monitoring Injected CO2 Using Earthquake Waves Measured by Downhole Fibre-Optic Sensors: CO2CRC Otway Stage 3 Case Study

Pavel Shashkin et al.

Summary: Monitoring changes in formation properties along the well bore can help track the movement of carbon dioxide and detect leakage. This can be done through wireline logging or using permanent optical fiber instrumentation. Previous research has shown the effectiveness of using optical fiber as a seismic receiver array. The Otway Project demonstrated the viability of using passive seismic recording to detect changes in elastic properties caused by CO2 saturation. However, multiple events are needed to distinguish the anomaly from noise.

Empirical Investigations of the Instrument Response for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) across 17 Octaves

Patrick Paitz et al.

Summary: Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has the potential to revolutionize geophysical ground-motion measurements by utilizing existing fiber-optic infrastructure, but ensuring accurate amplitude and phase information is crucial. The instrument response variations are influenced by factors such as dispersion and incorrect ground-motion observations. Experimental results show minimal standard deviations in amplitude and phase responses across different frequency ranges, supporting the integration of DAS-based strain measurements into full-waveform inversion methods for improved data quality.

Downhole Distributed Acoustic Sensing Provides Insights Into the Structure of Short-Period Ocean-Generated Seismic Wavefield

Stanislav Glubokovskikh et al.

Summary: Ocean-generated seismic waves are commonly found in passive seismic records worldwide, posing challenges for earthquake observations and providing input signals for interferometric methods. By analyzing data from deep boreholes in Australia, this study decomposed the DAS response into microseisms generated by remote storms, local winds, and surf breaks. The results suggest that passive seismic records on downhole DAS sensors have the potential for high-precision monitoring of formations and remote storms.

Near-field strain in distributed acoustic sensing-based microseismic observation

Bin Luo et al.

Summary: Microseismic monitoring using fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology has improved acquisition of microseismic events with high spatial resolution and low cost. By analyzing mathematical expressions and generating synthetic DAS strain records, it is possible to better understand and characterize microseismic source parameters. Polarity sign patterns in the synthetic records are sensitive to source orientations and can be qualitatively matched to field data examples. The near-field signals detected by DAS have potential value in hydraulic fracture monitoring for reflecting the geomechanical response of unconventional reservoirs.

Seismic monitoring of a small CO2 injection using a multi-well DAS array: Operations and initial results of Stage 3 of the CO2CRC Otway project

Roman Pevzner et al.

Summary: Active time-lapse seismic monitoring is commonly used for tracking CO2 geosequestration by monitoring the distribution of fluids in space and time. Standard 4D seismic monitoring faces challenges such as high cost and disruption to land use, but these can be mitigated by using permanently installed sources and receivers. Continuous monitoring at the CO2CRC Otway site using permanent seismic sources and receivers showed the abrupt increase of travel times and tracked the growth of the CO2 plume after injection. The time-lapse changes of reflection amplitudes in continuous offset VSP and 4D VSP are broadly consistent, but show some differences due to various factors, which can serve as a measure of uncertainty in 4D VSP images.

An automated system for continuous monitoring of CO2 geosequestration using multi-well offset VSP with permanent seismic sources and receivers: Stage 3 of the CO2CRC Otway Project

Roman Isaenkov et al.

Summary: In early 2020, a permanent automated continuous seismic CO2 geosequestration monitoring system was installed at the CO2CRC Otway Project site in Victoria, Australia. The system consists of five -1600 m deep wells with distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) as seismic receivers and nine seismic orbital vibrators (SOV) as seismic sources. The system produces a single vintage every two days, covering predicted CO2 plume migration paths over a 0.7 km2 area, with automated data processing on-site reducing data size and transmitting results to the office daily. Repeatability analysis shows that variability in SOV performance is the main source of non-repeatability.
