Abstract

A pilot CCS project in Indonesia will be implemented in Gundih area, Central Java Province in Indonesia. Before the CO 2 injection, the reservoirs for CO 2 injection must be characterized carefully by conducting geophysical exploration as well as reservoir simulation, in order to make sure that the reservoir is suitable for CO 2 storage. Here we report results of reservoir characterization and simulation for the determination of CO 2 injection site in the Gundih area. Subsurface structures imaged on seismic reflection profiles indicate that the Ngrayong formation is one of the candidates for CO 2 injection. We observed the outcrop of the Ngrayong formation and measured hydrological and geophysical properties (e.g., permeability, seismic velocity) of the rock samples obtained from outcrop and wells. The Ngrayong formation has layered structure and heterogeneous characteristics. Using (1) hydrological properties, (2) subsurface structures (i.e., geometry of the Ngrayong formation) and (3) physical properties predicted by integrating seismic and logging data via acoustic impedance inversion, we applied reservoir simulation and evaluated security of the CO 2 injection sites.
