SHARP- Stress History and Reservoir Pressure for improved quantification of CO2 storage containment risks-ACT Call 3
Subcategory (under Clean Energy): CCS
Technology Readiness Level (TRL): TRL 2
Technology Outline (Process Description)
- Obtaining the reliable properties (viz., rheology and rock constitutive behaviour) of reservoir rocks and caprocks, under laboratory conditions which would be helpful in developing numerical model.
- Identifying the attributes of failure of reservoir rocks and caprocks and monitoring the influence of fluid pressure and subsurface state of stress.
- Studies related to containment risk.
Salient Features/Advantages
DST-CCUS has supported SHARP project under Accelerating CCS Technology (ACT Call # 3) led by IIT Bombay, to study the pore-scale phenomena that take place during CO2 injection, their subsequent effects on the geomechanical properties of the reservoir and risks associated with CO2 injection especially induced seismicity. These studies will be helpful in effective geomechanical modelling of the reservoirs before resorting to field scale studies.
Key Outcomes
- The earthquake data for the region surrounding the Baghewala fields have been compiled and located on the stress map.
- Showcase of CCS activities in India.
