Rock Physics and Seismic Characterization of CO₂-Saturated Rocks - Reconciling Laboratory Evidence with Theoretical Models

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the accuracy of seismic data interpretation for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. By integrating laboratory measurements with theoretical models, the research addresses the limitations of traditional models in predicting CO₂ behavior in subsurface reservoirs. Key findings include significant changes in seismic properties due to CO₂ interactions with rocks, which are not adequately captured by conventional models. The study emphasizes the need for refined models that consider CO₂-brine-rock interactions and other factors to improve seismic monitoring and reduce uncertainties in CO₂ storage, ultimately supporting the efficiency and safety of CCS operations.
