Conceptual modelling for migration assisted storage

There are countless subsurface factors that influence the regional suitability and ultimate success of storing (and monitoring) CO2 in an "unconfined" saline aquifer. The behaviour of a plume of CO2 and the associated pressure changes resulting from displaced formation fluid will respond to geological heterogeneity on multiple scales e.g. hydraulic connectivity as a function of lithology, facies or poroperm variation; or physical connectivity as a function of structure e.g. dip, fault presence/throw/transmissibilit...
