Abstract

Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) has been proposed as one of the most effective and advanced technologies for reducing CO2 emissions to alleviate a global warming effect. Carbon-dioxide geological storage technologies are utilized to safely store CO2 in a geological formation with long-term stability. Several technological projects for the monitoring of the behavior of geologically-sequestrated CO2, have been undertaken. This paper analyzes the geological CO2 storage project conducted in Nagaoka, Japan, specifically focused on the monitoring technologies. We introduce an overview of the Nagaoka CO2 injection field in Japan, and analyze the monitoring technologies applied at the site: seismic tomography and geophysical logging (sonic logging, induction logging and neutron logging). In addition, we explain the estimation of CO2 saturation in the CO2-injected reservoir by using the monitoring results. The analysis made in this study can be used to provide a guide line for designing a project of geological storage of CO2, specifically monitoring plan.

이산화탄소(CO2)지중저장은 지구온난화의 주범인 CO2 배출량 감소를 위한 효과적인 기술 중 하나로, CO2를 지중에 안전하게 저장하는 것이다. CO2저장의 장기안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 지하 심부에 주입된 CO2의 거동을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 현재 수행중인 대규모 지중저장과 더불어 지중에 주입된 이산화탄소 거동을 자세하게 관측하기 위한 실증 프로젝트도 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 이산화탄소 지중저장 프로젝트인 일본 나가오카에서 수행된 이산화탄소 지중저장 프로젝트 실증 현장의 특징 및 CO2 주입시험, 그리고 물리검층(음파검층, 전자기유도검층 및 중성자검층)과 탄성파 토모그래피 등을 수행하여 주입한 CO2의 거동을 모니터링한 연구사례를 소개 분석한다. 모니터링을 위한 각 탐사 기법의 자료 분석 결과를 이용하여 실제 주입된 CO2의 저류량 분포를 예측하기 위한 연구에 대해 소개한다. 이 논문에서 분석한 연구사례는 향후 우리나라에서의 CO2 지중저장 실증 실험 시, 지중저장의 핵심 기술 중 하나인 모니터링 기술의 설계에 중요한 예시를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
