Caprock Integrity Assessment Thorough a New Multidisciplinary and Multi-Scale Approach

Summary A dedicated workflow, consisting of an integration of multidisciplinary and multi-scale approaches, has been developed and tested within Eni for caprock integrity assessment, by combining commercial software and AI-based solutions with proprietary tools and plugins, specifically devised for this goal. This workflow provides geological and geophysical integrated deliverables, highlighting the correlations between faults distribution and areas more prone to possible gas escapes through the caprock, to be used as additional input for top seal evaluation, mitigating the risk associated to hydrocarbon exploration and storage activities.
