Extraction of layer-specific seismic velocity in a porous medium through seismic interferometry applied to ultrasonic measurements of CO2 sequestration

Purpose: Time-lapse seismic monitoring constitutes the foundation for most monitoring programmes involving CO2 storage. When using time-lapse seismics, two major sources of uncertainty in the estimation of changes in the reservoir properties, like saturation and pressure, are the non-repeatability of the source positions and the difficulty to...

Determining changes in CO2 saturation from time-lapse measurements using ghost reflections retrieved by seismic interferometry

One of the targets of time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO2 sequestration is to determine the parts of the reservoir reached by the injected CO2 and to estimate their saturation. Such information could be extracted from the time-lapse measurement using AVO or impedance information. But non-repeatability of the source positions and time-lapse...
