3D flow model and seismic model of the Sleipner CO2 plume (NERC grant NE/N016084/1)

This dataset comprises ECLIPSE input decks for a 3D reservoir simulation of the CO2 plume at the Sleipner CO2 injection site. This whole reservoir model is an attempt to history match the growth of the plume observed on seismic data. A seismic velocity and density model derived from the 3D reservoir simulation is also included, together with a series of Seismic Unix scripts to create a synthetic seismic section through the Sleipner reservoir model, for comparison with released time-lapse seismic data.

Statement

1) A 3D reservoir model was constructed from seismic interpretations of the top and base Utsira Sand (the reservoir unit) at the Sleipner CO2 injection site. 2) The seismic surfaces were depth converted using velocity data from nearby exploration wells. 3) The model was attributed with porosity and permeability values. 4) A series of simulation decks were created for use in the ECLIPSE simulator. 5) Output from the simulations was converted into SEGY format and a series of Seismic Unix scripts produced to perform 2D elastic synthetic seismic modelling.
