Microseismic Monitoring at the Farnsworth CO2-EOR Field
Energies, 2023•mdpi.com
The Farnsworth Unit in northern Texas is a field site for studying geologic carbon storage
during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using CO 2. Microseismic monitoring is essential for
risk assessment by detecting fluid leakage and fractures. We analyzed borehole
microseismic data acquired during CO 2 injection and migration, including data denoising,
event detection, event location, magnitude estimation, moment tensor inversion, and stress
field inversion. We detected and located two shallow clusters, which occurred during …

The Farnsworth Unit in northern Texas is a field site for studying geologic carbon storage during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using CO2. Microseismic monitoring is essential for risk assessment by detecting fluid leakage and fractures. We analyzed borehole microseismic data acquired during CO2 injection and migration, including data denoising, event detection, event location, magnitude estimation, moment tensor inversion, and stress field inversion. We detected and located two shallow clusters, which occurred during increasing injection pressure. The two shallow clusters were also featured by large b values and tensile cracking moment tensors that are obtained based on a newly developed moment tensor inversion method using single-borehole data. The inverted stress fields at the two clusters showed large deviations from the regional stress field. The results provide evidence for microseismic responses to CO2/fluid injection and migration.
