In Development: CO2MIG: New Technology Tool for the Industry to Track Geological Migration of CO2 From Caprock to Surface

CO2MIG is a new technology Joint Industry Project (JIP) to understand how cap rock CO2 containment and plume migration function in subsurface injection projects. 

The CO2MIG tool is novel because it supports  coupling between pore-scale geochemical reactions and large-scale dynamic fluid flow in a mathematically consistent way to enhance our understanding of the subsurface evolution of CO2 plumes.  Currently, CO2 migration monitoring tools used in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) focus on imaging the  evolution of injected CO2 fluids in reservoirs and on Measurement, Monitoring and Verification (MMV) of surface emissions.

Our aim is to bridge the gap between the cost-intensive reservoir modelling and MMV surveys to optimize injection and monitoring strategies associated with the geological storage of CO2.  Please download the full brochure here
