“…Moreover, it is worth noting that modelled initial and final concentrations are compatible with the ones measured by soil gas sampling in the vicinity of the 1.3-m depth borehole. Lastly, similar observations (sol drying / permeability increase / greater diffusion) have been made at Weyburn, but on the CH 4 phase (Riding and Rochelle, 2009).…”

“…The influence of the seasonal cycle is not thought to be of primary importance, as measurements were performed during the growing season in both years (Riding and Rochelle, 2009). This spatial arrangement is depicted in Figure 7, that corresponds to the mathematical interpolation of 2006 and 2007 results, based on a krigging approach.…”

“…There is also an anti-correlation between CO 2 and O 2 contents (Pearson's coefficient: -0.857), suggesting that carbon dioxide enrichment is directly linked to a decrease in the oxygen content via reactions in which oxygen is consumed, and subsequently suggesting that the CO 2 is mainly of biogenic origin (e.g. Beaubien et al, 2008;Riding and Rochelle, 2009).…”

“…Nearly depleted oil and gas reservoirs represent one of the most frequently used storage sites, as CO 2 infilling can enhance oil and gas recovery (EOR/EGR operations). Among them, the ongoing Weyburn EOR project (started in 1997) uses anthropogenic CO 2 to enhance hydrocarbon production (Preston et al, 2005;Riding and Rochelle, 2005). Initially not designed in a GHG emission mitigation perspective, this North-American project represents one of the major sequestration demonstration projects, enhancing knowledge and understanding of the mechanism by which CO 2 is sequestered in a carbonate onshore reservoir (Preston et al, 2005).…”

Résumé -Échanges gazeux et géochimie des gaz à la surface du réservoir naturel profond de CO 2 de Montmiral (Drôme) -Une des options envisagées pour réguler les concentrations de gaz à effet de serre dans l'atmosphère est le stockage souterrain du CO 2 . Dans ce domaine existe un fort besoin de renforcer et de développer des méthodes susceptibles d'être utilisées tout au long de la durée de vie de ces stockages souterrains, afin de s'assurer de leur sécurité et de pouvoir suivre l'évolution du panache de CO 2 injecté. Parmi elles, les méthodes géochimiques peuvent jouer un rôle important. Nous décrivons ici les résultats acquis dans le cadre du programme de recherche « Géocarbone-Monitoring » financé en partie par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche sur l'analogue naturel de Montmiral dans le Sud-Est de la France. D'autres résultats obtenus dans le cadre de ce même programme de recherche sont rapportés dans un autre article présent dans ce volume. Des méthodes d'échantillonnage ponctuelles permettant une grande couverture géographique et des mesures en continu sur certains points sélectionnés ont été entreprises en 2006 et 2007, afin de permettre la détermination des concentrations en gaz du sol et des flux, ainsi que des déterminations des rapports isotopiques du carbone. Sans aucune preuve d'une fuite de CO 2 profond, à la fois les concentrations et les flux de CO 2 semblent être plus élevés que ne pouvant s'expliquer par l'effet des seules activités biologiques. Des études plus approfondies sont donc nécessaires pour mieux comprendre l'évolution des gaz tout au long de l'année.Abstract -Surface Gas Geochemistry above the Natural CO 2 Reservoir of Montmiral (Drôme, France), Source Tracking and Gas Exchange between the Soil, Biosphere and Atmosphere -One of the options considered to mitigate greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere is underground storage of CO 2 .

Natural analogues studies have received growing interest during preceding years in a CCS perspective. There is a strong willing to deploy robust and reliable technologies to ensure the safety and integrity of CO 2 underground storages. Here we present a dataset acquired in the Eifel volcanic district, using geochemical monitoring methods focusing on both dissolved and gaseous species.Onshore and offshore monitoring (Lake Laacher See) were performed to depict spatial behaviour of CO 2 natural releases. Additional gaseous species, mainly helium and radon, were also monitored to better assess the shapes of gas vents, using methodologies that were learned from hydrological and tectonic applications. Lake water monitoring allowed the characterisation of the water body itself, in terms of lateral heterogeneities, to evaluate the impact of CO 2 deep degassing near the bottom of the lake. The use of a dedicated sensor for monitoring in situ CO 2 partial pressure did not provide more valuable information that was learned from more classical physico-chemical parameters. From those investigations, the usefulness of geochemical monitoring is still demonstrated, but the use of complementary approaches and methods is still needed to get a powerful set of techniques able to warn in case of leakages occurring from depth.

CO₂ storage safety and leakage monitoring in the CCS demonstration project of Jilin oilfield, China

Jilin oilfi eld is conducting the fi rst large-scale demonstration project on CO 2 storage and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the northeast of China. A comprehensive monitoring program has been designed and deployed in the target reservoir of block H-59 using a wide range of techniques to monitor the injection and production systems, the CO 2 migration fronts, and potential CO 2 leakage pathways. Tube fault detection, corrosion inhibitors, anti-CO 2 corrosion cement, and production dynamic analysis have been adopted to guarantee the safety at the well site. CO 2 movement in the reservoir is detected mainly by gas tracer, electric spontaneous potential measurement, and fl uid sampling. Nearsurface environmental monitoring is also conducted around the injection site. Field experience has shown that the monitoring targets should be focused on the reservoir, near-surface, and injection and production systems. Applying monitoring techniques to ensure the integrity of wellbores can not only prevent the leakage of CO 2 , but also avoid the blind expansion of monitoring program scopes. It is reliable and economical to take full advantage of techniques based on wellbores to monitor CO 2 movement in oil reservoirs with dense well patterns. Up to April 2013, nearly 21.7 × 10 4 tons of CO 2 has been injected without obvious leakage caused by integrity failure of wells or the geological structure of reservoir. More than 96% of injected CO 2 has been safely stored with the rest of injected CO 2 normally breakthrough in the production wells. The preliminary monitoring experience obtained can provide valuable guidance for the future enlarged Jilin project and other CO 2 EOR and storage operations.
