4 What is stored CO 2 like? gas or liquid? Answer: gas for the viscosity liquid for the density T=100 C, P=280bar (2800m) density (kg/m3) viscosity (cp) supercritical CO 2 water gas (methane) !"#$%&'"()!*&+#%),'-*#-.*)/012!2,30() )

9 How we know it works By geological evidences. For example: From the studies of natural CO2 and CH4 fields where gases are trapped for millions of years From the studies on gas migration mechanisms By experience, such as: Man made gas storage (CH4, 4He, etc.) Injection tests Injection of gases for EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery)!"#$%&'"()!*&+#%),'-*#-.*)/012!2,30() )

10 Oil and methane fields In Italy We learn by nature The age of methane fields range from 1 up to 5 M years while the age of oil field range from 20 up to 50M years!"#$%&'"()!*&+#%),'-*#-.*)/012!2,30() )

11 Fluids may migrate to the surface? No, if the site selected is an appropriate one. So site selection is of paramount importance Migration may occur through: Wells Faults if recent and/or seismogenic!"#$%&'"()!*&+#%),'-*#-.*)/012!2,30() )

12 Natural Open Lab: Geological and gas migration modellling trrough faults Fault analysis - Fault zone architecture reflects the degree to which the processes of strain localization vs. strain distribution compete in time and in space along the fault trace. - This relationship control the fault permeability and therefore gas migration Rome University: ENI, Schlumberger contracts Controlling factors of K: Lithology Fault scale and type Deformation style and history P & T history Component percentage, of K, and anisotropy Carbonia, Centro Ricerche SOTACARBO, 27/11/2014 Fossen, 2010 K ma Kx mi n

15 How we may monitor gas migration toward surface? Many geophysical, geological an geochemical methods exist already Several of them may be used for studying precursor signal!"#$%&'"()!*&+#%),'-*#-.*)/012!2,30() )

22 Summary of the Present Research activities (2014) in the Sulcis area: site selection and monitoring Activities Revision of the available geological and structural data Soil gas survey to define the baseline Soil gas profile across faults Geochemical Continuous monitoring (5 sites) Seismic monitoring (INGV) Reinterpretation of 100 km of seismic lines Acquisition and analyses of core samples from 2 wells (450 m of depth m depth) Fracture modeling for the seal and the reservoir rock volumes 3D geological model Carbonia, Centro Ricerche SOTACARBO, 27/11/2014

23 Sulcis area: geological modeling and faults/fracture analysis Magmatic intrusion reworking as fault Frequency analysis of fractures Coal Mine field Well Top reservoir Cluster analysis of fault population available for storage - deeper than 900 m FAULT Carbonia, Centro Ricerche SOTACARBO, 27/11/2014

24 Research activities 2014 in Sulcis area: soil gas profile across faults Soil gas profiles allow : detecting leakage along faults constructing conceptual models of fluid migration along fault Provides experimental parameters USA - Italy CCS meeting, Washington, DC, September 30 for numerical modeling Carbonia, Centro Ricerche SOTACARBO, 27/11/2014

25 Research activities 2014 in Sulcis area: Continuous monitoring (6 sites) Recording CO2 variability through time Carbonia, Centro Ricerche SOTACARBO, 27/11/2014

26 activities in the Sulcis basin Acquisition of: More seismic lines Better definition of geological model Gas migration model through faults Injection tests at shallow depths (about 300m) through faults 2 wells at depths ranging from 1500 to 2000m Extension of the network of monitoring station to the fault systems Extension of the researches offshore where the reservoir is deepening Public awareness: starting a dialogue with stakeholders on Sulcis perspective and CCS Building infrastructures to use Sulcis area as an international open lab (ECCEL EC project) Carbonia, Centro Ricerche SOTACARBO, 27/11/2014

27 Sulcis area as an international Open Lab Infrastructure open to international researchers open as demonstrative site to general public Multiple CO2 Injection tests through faults at shallow depth To study CO2 migration trough faults To test geochemical (in house made and low cost CO2 sensors)l and geophysical monitoring tools USA - Italy CCS meeting, Washington, DC, September 30 To study water-gas-rock interactions To study boundary conditions for a controlled and safe CO2 storage Carbonia, Centro Ricerche SOTACARBO, 27/11/2014

28 Final remarks CO2 geological storage mimics natural gas reservoirs In a well selected storage site leakage is not expected to occur In case of gas migration toward the surface through faults generally anomalies are spot type and quite small in dimension (i.e. little impact on the shallow environments) Leakage through wells: experience for managing eventual leaks already exist in the oil and gas industry Monitoring tools A wide range of monitoring tools are available. The fate of injected gas can be traced from the reservoir up to the surface with enough accuracy and reliability!:/);<#%=*)#*>*"#-.*#>)?**+)>-'*&-*)@%<#&"a'>+>)())2=#'a)b()487c)d)e*&'-*()/"&)/*#f%a%)g>a"&h)
