CO2 Storage Solutions

CO2 Storage Solutions

Enhance your CO2 storage evaluations with T7, minimizing fault-associated risks and ensuring fault seal integrity for secure, long-term containment.

Faults play an essential role at many potential CO2 storage sites, acting as:

Conduits for migration

Conduits for plume migration – early recognition of faults prone to develop fluid pathways is important to avoid CO2 leakage within the storage complex.

Conduits for migration

Barriers/seals for CO2 containment – assessment of structural traps with sealing faults can expand the storage capacity of potential CO2 storage sites.

Take full control de-risking your storage complex and identifying safe sealing compartments for CO2 storage with T7’s toolkit and advanced workflows:

Calculate fault seal attributes specifically for CO2 storage

Utilise state-of-the-art equations such as Karolyte et al. (2020) to compute on fault surfaces:

  • CO2 threshold capillary pressure
  • CO2 column height
  • CO2 contact depth

Across-fault seal assessments for CO2 feasibility studies

Assess how complex fault networks influence potential CO2 storage sites with T7’s unique across-fault seal workflow.

Increase confidence of CO2 storage with Fault Seal Uncertainty

  • Ensuring a permanent and safe CO2 storage is critical when assessing storage complexes.
  • Fault Seal Uncertainty and its stochastic approach resolves the effect of stratigraphic and structural uncertainties in multi-fault settings where there is presence of various juxtaposition leak points and structural spills.

Accurately map and model CO2 fault-bounded structural traps

  • Recognise potential traps with fault seal juxtaposition or membrane seal presence that can increase the storage capacity of a CO2 storage complex.
  • Identify small-scale structural traps that can slow down plume migration.

Utilise state-of-the-art AI technology to assist you mapping faults

  • Correct delineation of fault geometries and intersections is key to produce reliable structural models to ensure fault seal integrity or find possible weak points for CO2 leakage.
  • T7’s AI Fault Detection Wizard will optimise fault interpretation.

Ensure CO2 storage integrity by predicting geomechanical attributes.

Perform accurate fault seal analyses:

  • Fault/fracture stability
  • Slip tendency
  • Dilation tendency
  • Fracture prediction

Lower the risk of CO2 plume migration by:

  • Calculating the maximum column height of injected CO2 that a trap can contain.
  • Identifying potential spill/leak points within the trap using Trap Analyst.
  • Trap Analyst is a completely unique solution allowing for the automated analysis of multiple faults bounding the CO2 containment site.
