Predictive Modelling for Plume Detection Applied to CCUS Projects

<jats:p>This paper outlines the considerations for predictive modelling of CO2 sequestration in potential subsurface reservoirs. There are a number of considerations and data required to fully understand and enable prediction of the potential plume growth upon injection. These include understanding and modelling of the host rock, modelling the injected fluids, the ability to detect the plume and thresholds as well as anticipated fluid saturations over time. These considerations, as well as workflows and models to achieve future detection, are discussed in the following sections.</jats:p>
