Reservoir Characterization and Caprock Integrity

CO₂ Plume Modeling and Simulation

Geomechanical Response to CO₂ Injection

Design CO₂ transport and compression systems with cutting edge digital solutions to optimize the operating conditions and minimize HSE risk. Integrate pipeline, capture and compression facilities and safety models in one platform, while ensuring consistent thermodynamics and fluid characterization across the full system.

 

CO₂ Capture and Transport System Design and Simulation

Model and simulate the transport of CO₂ from the capture facility to the injection site and ensure safe operating conditions. For pipeline transportation, ensuring that the fluid is transported in the supercritical or dense phase is vital for efficiency, and temperature and pressure limits must be understood to avoid hydrate formation. Fluid composition, transport mode, capture source, climactic conditions and distance to injection site are all key parameters to consider when designing your CO₂ transport system.

CO₂ flow assurance

 

CO₂ capture and transport system design and simulation

From well trajectory planning through site and operations management, our 90 years of experience in more than 180 countries, enables optimal design and execution of wells—with safety as our first priority. Meeting performance objectives, while minimizing risk and uncertainty, is central to our process for developing a specific plan for safe and effective storage. Injection wells are systems engineered with the durability to both deliver the CO₂ to the storage target, and to isolate and protect the intervening formations. Our drilling and well construction services help maximize the quality and stability of wells crucial to long-term integrity.

Optimize CO₂ Injection and Monitoring Well Planning

Create a customized, cost-effective monitoring strategy for your projects. Our holistic monitoring strategy design process is built on the results of geomechanical and simulation studies for safe long-term geological storage of CO₂. 

Schlumberger offers a wide range of physical and digital monitoring solutions, including subsurface CO₂ plume migration simulation and micro-seismic monitoring to electromagnetics and non-seismic methods. 

See how we’re helping SaskPower monitor CO₂ injected into the subsurface using multiple dynamic data types.
