Conference presentation on hardware acceleration of AI model training, validation, and testing using wafer scale engines, to improve efficiency and effectiveness of carbon management.
This is an invited guest speaker's presentation. The present covers three use cases by applying machine learning techniques. The use cases include fracture analysis for CCUS: IBDP study, multiple level of fracture network analysis and tool: HFTS1 study, Frac-Hit with Middleland Basin datasets from collaborations with Company A.
Saline formations deep underground are among the most promising targets for large-scale geologic carbon storage. The caprock seal integrity evaluation is an important component of commercial-scale CO 2 sequestration projects. Measurements of the porosity and permeability of mudstone samples from the NETL-supported Cranfield Project were performed using a helium porosimeter and a core flow apparatus, before and after exposure in a CO 2 -saturated brine environment. The permeability of the core samples rapidly decreased with the increase in confining pressure and did not fully recover after decompression. On the other hand, exposure to CO 2 led to an increase in the permeability by at least an order of magnitude. The porosity changes after the exposure were not substantial. The post-exposure increase in permeability was subsequently offset by its rapid decrease during the higher-pressure confinement. Extrapolation of the observed permeability trends to in situ reservoir conditions suggests that Tuscaloosa mudstone can effectively serve as a natural seal.
