CO2 Geo-Storage Modeling with CMG

This document provides an overview of building a CO2 geo-storage model using CMG software. It outlines the key steps to [1] create the reservoir grid and assign properties, [2] define rock-fluid properties, [3] specify initial conditions, [4] set numerical parameters, and [5] define an injection well and simulation events. It also describes how to [2] model residual trapping by modifying the base model to account for additional trapping mechanisms beyond structural containment alone.

1) I/O Control
• Output well/reservoir properties

2) Reservoir:
• Create grid block
• Assign grid block properties: absolute permeability,
porosity, depth, thickness, …

3) Components: gas and water properties

4) Rock-Fluid: relative permeability curves, capillary pressure


curves, …

5) Initial Conditions: reservoir initialization, reference


pressure, …

6) Numerical: time step control, solver

7) Wells: define well, perforation, well event (injection rate,


injection pressure, open, shut-in) …
Steps to build base model with Structural Trapping:

Reservoir Setup
Input the data from assignment in below tables
Reservoir Setup

Set rock compressibility

Reservoir: done!
Component Setup

Import the provided CCUS.gem file


Click “no”

Component: done!
Rock-fluid Setup

Input Kr data

Rock-fluid: done!
Initial Conditions Setup
Numerical Setup
Numerical: done!
Well Setup
Well Definition:
Under the Wells & Recurrent Section double click on Dates (from 2000-1-1 to 2060-1-1)
Right click on Wells and choose New.
Name the well CO2_INJECTOR and be sure to choose INJECTOR as the well type. The well should be defined at
2000-01-01.
Click on the Constraints tab and check the box for Constraint Definition (see below figure);
Under the Injected Fluid tab, select SOLVENT as the injected fluid, then specify the mole
fraction of CO2 as 1.0. Click OK
Go to the Perforations tab. Add perforations for blocks 8 13 25:30
Double click on the well in the tree view to open the Well Events form.

Under the same Well Events form, Select the date as 2010-01-01 from the drop down list
of dates; under Options, check the status as Shut-in and click OK (make sure to not click
anywhere except on the Options tab after selecting the new date): this means the injection duration is
10 years and the remained 50 years are the storage time

Well Setup: done

Trapped CO2 by different trapping mechanism


Model residual trapping:

• Base model only consider the structural trapping:


all free CO2
• Model residual tapping
• 1). Open your xxx.dat file
• 2). Find Process Wizard
• 3). Select CCS
• 4). In the STEP4, select tapping model
• 5). Click Next, and finish
• 6). Run the simulation and check the results
