A full field simulation of the In Salah gas production and CO2 storage project using a coupled geo-mechanical and thermal fluid flow simulator
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper reports on the results of a full field simulation model of CO2 production and injection at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. The study followed CO2 from the injection wellheads, down the wells and through the completions and into the storage interval. The resulting models describe likely future behaviours of the storage system.

Assessment of fracture connectivity and potential for CO2 migration through the reservoir and lower caprock at the In Salah storage site
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper describes efforts to characterise and model geological fracture networks at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. The work explores the connection between fractures and percolation, and the likelihood of leakage during and post injection.

Characterisation of the Krechba CO2 storage site: critical elements controlling injection performance
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper explores the reservoir features that have proven critical in controlling injection performance at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. The paper is divided into the three main themes of characterisation: structural geology, fracturing, and pore space characterisation. The authors conclude that structural geological and rock mechanical aspects are most critical in the early injection phase. When considering medium to long term effects, characterisation of the pore space, combined with the dynamically created fracture permeability, becomes more important.

Characterizing and predicting short term performance for the In Salah Krechba Field CCS Joint Industry Project
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper describes models and simulations that look ahead up to 10 years into the performance of CO2 injection at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. The authors describe the field geology, static earth model, dynamic situation model, and the history match process and results of predictive dynamic simulation. The simulation suggests that injected CO2 will reach some gas production wells by year 2015.

Coupled non-isothermal, multiphase fluid flow, and geomechanical modeling of ground surface deformations and potential for induced micro-seismicity at the In Salah CO2 storage operation
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper presents the results of a modelling study to assess the effectiveness of long reach horizontal injection wells at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. The authors investigate monitoring techniques to evaluate the performance of a CO2-injection operation in relatively low permeability formations. And, they analyse simulation results in terms of injection-induced reservoir stress and the potential for injection-induced micro-earthquakes at Krechba.

Evaluation of risk assessment methodologies using the In Salah CO2 Storage Project as a case history
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Health safety and environment
This paper presents the results of an analysis of three risk assessment methods using the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria as a backdrop. The methods assessed are the RISQUE QRA (Quantitative Risk Assessment) process, a Certification Framework developed for the CO2 Capture Project (CCP), and the Quantitative Risk Through Time Analysis (QRTT). The authors conclude that overall both CF and RISQUE QRA methodologies were consistent and provided useful insights into the In Salah project.

In Salah CO2 injection modelling: a preliminary approach to predict short term reservoir behaviour
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper presents an approach developed by IFP Energies nouvelles in the scope of the CO2ReMoVe project to study short term CO2 migration into the Krechba reservoir of the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. The authors provide an overview of CO2 storage at In Salah, followed by the short term performance assessment approach for 3D flow modelling. A description of 3D geomechanical and fluid flow modelling is followed by the authors’ conclusions.

In Salah CO2 Storage JIP: site selection, management, field development plan and monitoring overview
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper presents information on the Joint Industry Project (JIP) established to monitor CO2 storage at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. Site selection was guided by the standard oil-industry Capital Value Process (CVP). After four years of injection and monitoring, a Quantified Risk Assessment (QRA) was performed to update the development plan. Monitoring included satellite facilitated measurements of surface deformation, as well as conventional oilfield technologies.

In Salah CO2 storage JIP: carbon dioxide plume extension around KB-502 well. New insights into reservoir behaviour at the In Salah storage site
1st September 2010
Topic(s): CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper presents information by the Joint Industry Project established to monitor CO2 storage at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. Satellite-based interferometry (InSAR) technology detected surface uplift over all three horizontal CO2 injection wells shortly after the start of CO2 injection. Imperial College London carried out simulations of CO2 injection aiming to gain a better understanding of the reservoir behaviour. The findings are reported in this paper.

In Salah CO2 Storage JIP: hydromechanical simulations of surface uplift due to CO2 injection at In Salah
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper presents information by the Joint Industry Project established to monitor CO2 storage at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. This study describes detailed simulations of the hydromechanical response in the vicinity of the KB-502 CO2 injector in an attempt to explain why the morphology of the observed surface deformation differed from that above the other injectors at the field.
