Abstract:
Offshore carbon dioxide (CO2) storage is an effective method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, when using traditional seismic wave methods to monitor the migration of sequestration CO2 plumes, the characteristics of wave velocity changes tend to become insignificant beyond a certain limit. In contrast, the controllable source electromagnetic method (CSEM) remains highly sensitive to resistivity changes. By simulating different CO2 plume migration conditions, we established the relevant models and calculated the corresponding electric field response characteristic curves, allowing us to analyze the CSEM’s ability to monitor CO2 plumes. We considered potential scenarios for the migration and diffusion of offshore CO2 storage, including various burial depths, vertical extension diffusion, lateral extension diffusion, multiple combinations of lateral intervals, and electric field components. We also obtained differences in resistivity inversion imaging obtained by CSEM to evaluate its feasibility in monitoring and to analyze all the electric field (Ex, Ey, and Ez) response characteristics. CSEM has great potential in monitoring CO2 plume migration in offshore saltwater reservoirs due to its high sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, changes in electromagnetic field response reflect the transport status of CO2 plumes, providing an important basis for monitoring and evaluating CO2 transport behavior during storage processes.
