Abstract

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is recognized as a key technology that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Besides the large-scale demonstration, small-scale pilot projects such as the Frio, the Nagaoka, the Ketzin and the Otway were undergone. Among them, the Otway project in Australia injected and stored 65 kt CO₂ into the depleted gas field in 2008. There were two-time experiments for measuring the residual CO₂ saturation in the field. The Otway project successfully injected 15 kt CO₂ into the aquifer in December 2015 and proceeds 2C stage which monitors CO₂ plume stabilization. To accomplish domestic CCS demonstration, Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) is involved in Otway international collaboration. KIGAM began specific project in 2015 on the basis of data obtained from Otway 2C field through active participation. In this article, we introduce the improvement of seismic monitoring and reservoir modeling techniques in the international collaboration. Results will be exported into the historical matching technique which completes monitoring CO₂ storage analysis.

이산화탄소 포집 및 저장기술(CCS)은 화석연료로부터 배출되는 온실가스를 감축할 수 있는 핵심적인 기술로 인정받고 있다. 대규모 실증 프로젝트 이외에 프리오, 나가오카, 켓진, 오트웨이와 같은 소규모 파일롯 프로젝트가 다수 진행되어 왔다. 그 가운데 호주의 오트웨이 분지 프로젝트는 2008년 고갈 가스전에 6.5만 톤의 CO₂를 주입/저장하였으며 2011년과 2013년에는 현장에서의 잔류 CO₂포화도 측정을 위한 두 차례 실험을 실시하고 2015년 12월부터 1.5만톤의 CO₂를 대수층에 성공적으로 주입하고 이를 모니터링 하는 2C 단계에 돌입하였다. 한국지질자원연구원은 국내 CO₂ 지중저장 실증기반 구축을 위해 호주 오트웨이 국제공동연구에 참여하고 있다. 특히 2015년부터 시작된 2단계 국제공동연구에서는 오트웨이 2C단계에 적극적인 참여를 통해 호주 현장에서 취득된 자료를 토대로 탄성파 모니터링 분야와 모델링 분야의 기술제고를 모색하고 있다. 여기서는 저류층 모델링 및 탄성파 자료처리 수행결과를 소개하였고, 연구 결과는 CO₂ 지중저장 모니터링의 최종 단계인 히스토리 매칭 기술에 적용될 예정이다.
