Metrics for CO2 Storage• CO2 Storage = CO2 Injected – CO2 Produced
• Net CO2 Utilization = CO2 injected per Volume
Oil Produced
• Metrics can be normed to original hydrocarbon
pore volume or pore volume
• CO2 Storage Efficiency = CO2 injected/CO2

DEVELOPING A STATIC
RESERVOIR MODEL
• Geologic logging cores… new facies
interpretations… new modern analogues
• New approach to upscaling porosity and
permeability
• New analysis of petrophysical data.
• Inter-well distribution of facies using
Variogram analysis.

PERMEABILITY DEFICIT DISORDER
• Reservoir simulations of major Permian
Basin oil fields cannot match observed data
unless much higher permeability
magnitudes are used in simulations.
• Our approach... Higher spatial resolution
modelling and careful modeling of
permeability between wells.

Conclusion from ROZ Modeling
1. Match to residual oil data is reasonable
2. Oil/water saturation attained steady-state
after around 50000 years
3. Oil in low perm/low porosity areas are not
efficiently displaced by the regional water
4. Water flows over longer time period could
change oil chemistry by dissolution of
lighter water soluble fractions 65

Lessons Learned
Positive project surprises.
• Usefulness WAG injection in reservoir modeling
• The vast volume of pressure measurements
available for our project
• Direct linking of OFM/Petrel/Eclipse to
establish dynamic pressure boundary conditions
Unanticipated difficulties
• Software compatibility with sponsor company ..
After 2 year effort a $99 million software donation
from Schlumberger solved the problems.67

Lessons Learned
Technical disappointments.
1. Relative permeability measurements for CO2/oil
and CO2/brine require 2 ft core plugs to give
valid results
2. Pervasiveness of dolomitization in reservoir
make it difficult to identify sequence boundaries
in the core.

Synergy Opportunities
– Our study will provide the first detailed publically
available study of a ROZ….. We are reaching
out to other projects as our data becomes
cleared for release by Hess.

Summary
Key Findings
1. Production/injection data a well and 9-
spot level contain the most tangible
evidence of CO2 storage in response to
WAG injections
2. Upgraded static reservoir model using
facies conditioned permeability
Variograms
3. Higher resolution static reservoir models
minimize upscaling lowering flow70

Project Summary
Next Steps
1. Using Eclipse simulations to compare to analysis
of reservoir metrics such as CO2 Efficiency and
CO2 Cumulative Storage
2. Calibration of Advanced Wireline Logs with core
measurements such as NMR, resistivity…
3. Building upgraded static model based on
advanced wireline log interpretation and new
petrophysics data
4. Multi-dimensional history matching of Eclipse
modeling of specific injection phases and
aggregates of 9 spots 71

Benefit to the Program
• Supports DOE’s Programmatic goal No. 2, to
“Develop technologies to improve reservoir
storage efficiency while ensuring containment effectiveness”.

Project Overview: Goals and Objectives
Project objective: “To improve the understanding
of how much CO2 can be stored in residual oil
zones (ROZ) given current practice and how much
this could be increased, by using strategies to
increase sweep efficiency”.
These same strategies will increase the efficiency
of oil production.
