Comprehensive Insights into CO2 Injection and Migration: The Impact of Wireline Logging in Carbon Capture and Storage

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an important technology used in the battle against climate change. It aims to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources. This document provides a thorough examination of CO2 injection and migration, emphasizing the significant role of wireline logging in CCS projects. Wireline logging, which encompasses both traditional and advanced techniques, is crucial for effectively conducting and overseeing CCS operations. It is instrumental in various stages, including selecting suitable storage sites, characterizing reservoirs, evaluating storage capacity, and monitoring CO2 injection and migration. This study examines the use of wireline logging methods in CCS projects to obtain detailed subsurface information crucial for the success and safety of these operations. Conventional wireline logging techniques, including resistivity, sonic, and gamma-ray logging, provide important data for reservoir characterization and capacity evaluation. Advanced techniques, such as pulsed neutron and dielectric logging, improve understanding of subsurface conditions by offering precise measurements of fluid saturations and monitoring CO2 plume migration. The combination of wireline logging data with other advanced monitoring methods such as seismic surveys and remote sensing helps us better understand the behavior of CO2 in the subsurface. This integrated approach not only improves the accuracy of storage capacity estimates but also enhances our ability to detect potential leakage pathways, ensuring the long-term integrity of storage sites. This study confirms the significant role of wireline logging in CCS projects and emphasizes the ongoing need for technological advancements and collaborative research to improve the effectiveness and reliability of CO2 storage monitoring. As the global community intensifies efforts to combat climate change, wireline logging will continue to be a crucial tool in CCS technologies, significantly contributing to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and the protection of the environment.
