Summary of the paper
• Strategies:
• Distance-Based:
• Prioritizes based on proximity to injection well.
• Assumes higher risk closer to injector.
• Risk-Based:
• Considers leakage risk score for each well.
• Prioritizes high-risk wells for action.
• Hybrid:
• Combines risk and distance considerations.
• Prioritizes high-risk wells within proximity threshold.
• Implementation:
• Preemptive remediation before injection or during operation.
• Inspection events assess leakage.
Well specific leakage risk score:
Well-specifics leakage risk scores: (Data handling)
• GCS Potential of Brownfield Sites: Historical or ongoing oil and gas sites offer significant CO2 storage potential. Their
previously explored, well-characterized reservoirs make them attractive for large-scale CO2 storage.
• Risk Management Strategies:
• Risk-Based Management: More effective than distance-based management. Surprisingly effective even when
well leakage risk score didn't correlate with leakage probability (equiprobable leakage).
• Effectiveness with Correlation: Performance improved when well leakage risk scores were correlated with
leakage probability.
• Reservoir Simulation Impact: Risk-based strategy maintained performance even with alternate reservoir
simulation.
• Impact of PISC Periods:
• Brine Leakage Reduction: Incremental increases in PISC period led to incremental decreases in brine leakage.
• CO2 Leakage: CO2 leakage impacted to a lesser degree by PISC period increases.
• Value of Tools and Approaches:
• NRAPOpen-IAM: Valuable for exploring leakage scenarios and designing risk management strategies.
• Simplified Inspection Approach: Could be further developed to include adaptive management strategies based on
monitoring feedback.
• Well Leakage Probability Inference: Important for GCS site operators and oil/gas regulators. More work needed
to develop robust metrics and tools for inferring well leakage probability.
