Assumptions :

Estimation of CO2 saturation

◆ No gas and oil in the aquifer before CO2 breakthrough.

◆ The time lapse neutron log is equivalent the open hole

porosity log.

Conclusions 1

◆ The resistivity log is good in reproducibility.

◆ CO2 saturation from resistivity is smaller than CO2 saturation

from neutron log . It is difficult to estimate correct CO2 saturation from resistivity on present form. The phase behavior of CO2 inthe reservoir is still unknown.

◆ The hydrogen index measurement is easiest and certain way to

estimate CO2 saturation.

19

International Workshop on CO２ Geological Storage , Japan ‘06Geophysical Surveying CO.,LTD.

◆ CO2 saturation can be presumed from change of Vp.

Conclusions 2

Acoustic

◆ The relation between Vp and CO2 saturation from neutron logagree with Gassmann theory.

◆ A small amount of CO2 causes a large drop in Vp.
