where is that co2 flowing using distributed temperature sensing dts technology for monitoring injection of co2 into a depleted oil reservoir
International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 2019Co-Authors: Sanjay Mawalkar, Mark Kelley, Neeraj Gupta, Rick Pardini, Srikanta Mishra, David Brock, Andrew Burchwell, Bill ShroyerAbstract:Abstract A Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system, along with a five-level, behind-casing pressure sensing array was installed as part of the Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) storage test in a depleted Niagaran Pinnacle Reef oil reservoir in Northern Michigan. The Reef is being monitored during its initial reservoir fill-up period as CO2 is being injected to raise the reservoir pressure for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). DTS data are analyzed with results from the initial injection of ˜101,000 metric tons of CO2, injected between January 2017 and December 2018. This paper discusses the results of real-time DTS combined with multi-level pressure monitoring. The collection, processing, and interpretation of large amounts of data from fiber-optic-based DTS provides an opportunity to obtain high-resolution information on migration of CO2 in the reservoir.

Alternative Conceptual Geologic Models for CO2 Injection in a Niagaran Pinnacle Reef Oil Field, Northern Michigan, USA☆
Energy Procedia, 2014Co-Authors: John M. Miller, Charlotte Sullivan, Glenn Larsen, Mark Kelley, W. Rike, Jacqueline Gerst, Neeraj Gupta, Darrell Paul, Rick Pardini, Allen ModrooAbstract:Abstract The Northern Pinnacle Reef Trend presents a regionally significant potential carbon dioxide utilization and storage resource. Two static earth models of a Pinnacle Reef were developed to evaluate the effect of increasing geologic detail on the reservoir model accuracy. The relatively simple lithostratigraphic model defines the geology on the basis of lithostratigraphy. An alternative conceptualization is based on sequence-stratigraphic constrained lithofacies and requires greater effort and geologic insight. The sequence-stratigraphic approach allows a closer approximation to porosity and permeability distributions observed in cored Reefs and this approach will allow more realistic flow unit definition in these complex Reefs.

assessment of co2 injectivity and storage capacity in a depleted Pinnacle Reef oil field in northern michigan
Energy Procedia, 2014Co-Authors: Priya Ravi Ganesh, Neeraj Gupta, Srikanta Mishra, Sanjay Mawalkar, Rick PardiniAbstract:The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership is conducti ng a large-scale CO 2 injection test in a depleted Niagaran Pinnacle Reef in northern Michigan. The focus of the dynamic modeling tas k described in this paper is to evaluate the CO 2 injectivity and storage capacity of this closed carbonate Reef structure. We discuss the history-matching process to characterize the closed reservoir model using primary and secondary recovery data and its validation with the field pressures in the current CO2 injection phase. Two alternative conceptual geologic models of the Reef are constructed to evaluate the level of detail necessary to efficiently model dynamic reservoir behavior without compromising geologic accuracy. We find that our initial black oil formulation under-predicts reservoir pressure and hence over -predicts injectivity during the CO 2 injection phase. Transition to a compositional model is currently underway to better represent reservoir dynamics by effectively accounting for interphase and intercomponent mass transfer processes. Lessons learned from this exercise can be drawn upon for possible use in injectivity evaluation of other Reefs in the region.

reservoir characterization from pressure monitoring during co2 injection into a depleted Pinnacle Reef mrcsp commercial scale ccs demonstration project
Energy Procedia, 2014Co-Authors: Mark Kelley, Neeraj Gupta, Srikanta Mishra, Sanjay Mawalkar, Maghsood Abbaszadeh, Matthew Place, Rick PardiniAbstract:Abstract The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) is implementing a commercial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in multiple Silurian carbonate Pinnacle Reefs in northern Michigan that are in various phases of enhanced oil recovery. This paper presents analyses of five pressure fall-off tests performed sequentially during the injection of 166,000 tonnes of CO2 into a Type-1 (depleted) Reef which has undergone primary and secondary production. Bottom-hole pressures were monitored in the injection well and in two observation wells to record progressively increasing reservoir pressure during the injection period, which also included five fall-off tests. Pressure data were analyzed using combined history-matching and pressure derivative matching techniques implemented with a commercial well-test interpretation program, FAST WellTest™. The paper illustrates the challenges of consistently interpreting CO2 injection fall-off tests under multi-phase flow with varying pressure conditions using a single-phase analytical model. This work is relevant to CO2 sequestration in depleted oil reservoirs because regular fall-off testing is required under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program for CO2 geologic sequestration (75 FR 77230).

Analyzing the Performance of Closed Reservoirs Following CO2 Injection in CCUS Projects
Energy Procedia, 2017Co-Authors: Srikanta Mishra, Mark Kelley, Priya Ravi Ganesh, Neeraj GuptaAbstract:Abstract This paper discusses the use of a 2-D numerical model representing a typical depleted Pinnacle Reef reservoir to generate synthetic data for multiple CO2 injection periods after a prolonged period of oil and gas production. The data are analyzed with conventional pressure-transient analysis and injectivity-index approaches from petroleum reservoir engineering practice. Pressure falloff data from multiple shut-in periods, with and without boundary effects, indicate that the system response is similar to that of a composite reservoir with different total mobility and total compressibility values in the inner (CO2-rich) and outer (CO2-free) regions. The total mobility of the inner zone can be approximated by the total mobility of the gas phase in the vicinity of the CO2-oil front, while the total mobility of the outer zone corresponds to the total mobility of the oil phase in the undisturbed region. The injectivity index, calculated as injection rate divided by the pressure buildup from reference conditions, yields a quasi-stable value during the transient period which can be correlated to the permeability-thickness product of the injection zone. During the boundary-dominated (pseudo-steady-state) period, a flowing material balance plot can be utilized to determine an apparent injectivity index, which is higher than the true injectivity index because of multi-phase skin effects.

Using baseline monitoring data to strengthen the geological characterization of a Niagaran Pinnacle Reef
Energy Procedia, 2014Co-Authors: Jacqueline Gerst, John M. Miller, Glenn Larsen, Neeraj Gupta, Lydia Cumming, Allen ModrooAbstract:Abstract The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership has collected a full suite of initial monitoring data from its large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) injection test site in the an depleted oil field to provide a baseline set of data. Data collection will be repeated after the field has been pressurized to the original discovery pressure using CO2. Data collection includes five walkaway vertical seismic profiles, microseismic monitoring, three pulsed neutron capture wireline logs, a borehole gravity meter survey, and satellite monitoring. An overview of these monitoring techniques and how they are being applied to improve current geologic understanding of this Niagaran Pinnacle Reef is presented.
